Reconstructing lost Japanese melodies based on black music... Artist e°murasaki has released his 3rd single "Rainfall Moon".
This third release is an ambitious work that defines the e°murasaki sound, weaving a slightly dark Japanese atmosphere with Neo Soul/R&B sounds and the sounds of the shamisen and koto.
The song depicts a scene of the moon at dusk with a light rainfall, and the multiple layers of vocal harmonies and fuzzy guitar solos are also noteworthy.
e°murasaki is the new solo project of singer, producer, and string player Yasutaka Mizunaga. In addition to e°murasaki, Yasutaka Mizunaga is the arranger and string player for the folk band Yoidore Tenshi. He also participates as a live recording guitarist for FutureFunk producer Night Tempo and Neo Soul artist Jerome Thomas, and produces music for Yun*chi, a singer and a model.
