across the night

YankaNoi

静かな凪が

映す夜空見てた

弧を描く光は

泳ぐように揺れて

月の灯に

浮かび上がる水平線は

最初に出会う

朝を照らす灯台

あなたの空は この世界に繋がる

見上げた高さ 翳る雲ぜんぶ越えて

夜を渡る

夜霧は晴れて 道に陽が差す

風をつかみ 遠ざかる背は 翳る日も越えて

夜を渡る

重ねる日々を渡り

紡がれる希望が

明日を色付ける

この夜を越えてゆく

YankaNoi, a solo project by yunniko, a singer-songwriter who also performs with the Shugo Tokumaru Band and other bands, has released its long-awaited second album "ALMA".

yunniko is a singer-songwriter who also works with the Shugo Tokumaru Band. She is releasing the album "ALMA" as her project YankaNoi.
ALMA" is an elaborate world of home recording art woven by all kinds of instruments. The sounds of her own performance and singing voice and other various sounds overlap each other, and beautiful music appears like the colors of twinkling lights in the night sky. Immersed in private intimacy, yet evoking a magnificent and profound soundscape, this music gently caresses "I" from all over the world who are forced to travel within, and invites us to "somewhere other than here"-an unknown world.
Guest performers include kauai hirótomo (drums, also in charge of arranging M4 "Crossing the Night"), who released his solo work "Another Galaxy" (2019) also on TONOFON, Wakana Ikeda (flute), Yasuyo Toi (clarinet/bass clarinet), Shugo Tokumaru(piano/cello, also in charge of some mixing).

The title "ALMA" means "soul" in Spanish, "grace" in Latin, and "leap" in Greek. Like this word, which is filled with various meanings, the music in this album has a multi-layered sound that foreshadows a rebirth and liberation from the dark space.
