A cover single of a Studio Ghibli song by Keiichi Sogabe.

This single is a pre-release from "Café Après-midi meets Studio Ghibli," a compilation of newly recorded cover versions of famous Studio Ghibli songs by 12 super-talented artists, supervised and selected by Toru Hashimoto (SUBURBIA)!

Keiichi Sogabe, the vocalist/guitarist of Sunny Day Service, and who has embodied the music-centered culture of the 1990s and beyond through his independent/DIY solo activities, covers Yumi Arai's "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara," the theme song from Hayao Miyazaki's 1989 film "Kiki's Delivery Service."

The jacket features original artwork by Shiho Sato, a painter who works on backgrounds for Studio Ghibli films, and Shinichiro Yamada, an animator who came from Ghibli.

Artist Profile

  • Keiichi Sokabe

    Born August 26, 1971. Virgo, blood type AB. From Kagawa Prefecture. Started working as the vocalist/guitarist of Sunny Day Service in the early '90s. In 1995, he released his first album, "Young People." His completely new sound, which reinterpreted and reconstructed '70s Japanese folk/rock in a '90s style, left a strong impression on listeners. He made his solo debut on Christmas 2001 with the single "Guitar," inspired by the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York. In 2004, he established his own label, ROSE RECORDS, and began working on an independent/DIY basis. Since then, in parallel with Sunny Day Service and his solo career, he has continued to express himself in a variety of forms, including producing, providing songs, film and commercial music, writing, and acting.
