Hikaru Yokan -Foreseeing Luminescence-

Back in 2007. An album was recorded by a multifaceted group of musicians called Prismix, lead by Ayako Otsuka,composer. It was a true gem of a work by the top-notch artists from studios and live music club scenes, but never got to hit the shelves due to circumstances at the time. After having remained a myth for 15 years, the album is finally made accessible in digitally remastered 2022 version. Enjoy the sound of the tight and sturdy rhythm section and the rich vibrations of the strings generating the resonance of "the terrestrial and the celestial."

[Prismix] Active 2002-2007, Prismix is a multifaceted group known for the soundtrack album for the TV animation series Zegapain(2006). It was formed under the initiative of Ayako Otsuka and consists of 8 members including the rhythm section and strings. It has worked on various recording projects as well as live performances under the concept of "the fusion of strings and rhythm section" and "genre-free style." Prismix has gone on a hiatus after the completion of the first album, Hikaru Yokan (Foreseeing Luminescence).
