Night Jasmine (2013 Remaster)

"Vivid colors" and "gentle scents", a nostalgic world like no other.

The third album (2003) by fingerstyle guitarist Michio Ogawa, who has attracted attention for his unique sense, is a big leap from his previous two works.
The sounds produced by a single guitar is full of transparency, and resonates delicately and emotionally. The gentle and comfortable flowing melodies that make you want to look up at the starry sky project a nostalgic landscape that is neither Japanese, American, nor European in the listener's mind. There are "vivid colors" and "gentle scents" that are mysteriously impressive.
If you listen carefully, you will find that the songs are all very advanced and experimental, but the listener may not be aware of this. This is because his broad worldview and frontier spirit of creating new music are beautifully fused together.
The theme of "space" that is a common thread to almost all the titles gives the album unity and envelops the listener in a world of fantasy.
