Shin Kokawa's 13-week release project Part 6 features Noriyuki Inoue (jizue), the mastermind engineer who has been building this project side-by-side with Kokawa from the very start.

Inoue, who has served as the architect of the project's sound through his recording, mixing, and mastering, finally stands at the forefront as a guitarist. This release captures the raw heart of the project-a collision between the unpredictable chemistry of childhood friends and a sophisticated, clinical mastery of sound. Experience the "beating heart" of this journey, forged through an unbreakable bond and Inoue's unparalleled sonic vision. A must-listen peak of the series.

Artist Profile

  • SHIN KOKAWA

    In his pursuit of live drum expression, improvisational artist SHIN KOKAWA resonates with Japanese spirituality, including indigenous nature worship and the sublime concepts of Zen. He internalizes a diverse range of genres: free jazz, spiritual jazz, world music, ambient, and hardcore. By infusing the primitive, powerful, and beautiful sounds of his instruments with the raw intuition of the moment, he creates soundscapes that depict the vastness of the universe. Making his major debut as a founding member of the instrumental band jizue (founded in 2006), Kokawa has performed at numerous large-scale festivals in Japan and abroad, including the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL. Since embarking on a solo career in 2019, he has released his 1st album 'ANIMA' (2020) and a 2nd album 'touch the sub conscious' (2024), which features collaborations with renowned artists such as Seiichi Yamamoto, Shing02, and Shun Ishiwaka. He is also an active member of the Kyoto-based experimental band kott, with whom he performed at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2023. In 2026, he launched '13 ARTIST X 3 WORKS,' an ambitious project featuring collaborations with 13 different artists and 39 tracks to be released consecutively every week.
