Otogibanashi: Songs for the Child Within

What was your favorite storybook as a child?

The one you read over and over.
The one someone read to you before you fell asleep.

Now, I have the privilege of telling stories.

There are words I long to share.
There are feelings I have carried with me.

**Otogibanashi: Songs for the Child Within** is Akane's second album, inspired by the timeless world of fairy tales.

For the first time, these songs are brought to life through a full band arrangement featuring piano, guitar, violin, bass, and percussion.

Every joy.
Every sorrow.
Every feeling.
Every experience.

May they one day become a beautiful storybook,
gently written within your heart.
