"Fuyu ni Wakarete" by Saho Terao, Wataru Iga, and Reisaburo Adachi. The beautiful, delicate, and colorful soundscape that only these three can create resonates to every corner of the space and beyond the point of decay, resulting in the birth of the supreme ten-piece album "forgotten".
Saho Terao, who has been actively working since releasing her original album "Shushine" in September 2024 and her cover album "My Favorite Labor Songs" in June 2025, is collaborating with bassist Wataru Iga, who has been involved in Terao's works and has supported various artists including Haruomi Hosono, Kayoko Yoshizawa, and Kaori Mochida. Drummer Reisaburo Adachi is not only a musician but also a healer, traveling around Japan treating people's minds and bodies. "Fuyu ni Wakarete" has been consistently releasing works since the release of their first album "Nanimo Iranai" in 2018, and last year, in June 2025, they sold out their concerts at Osaka's Nanko Sunset Hall and in October at Tokyo's Hakuju Hall, and now they are releasing their long-awaited fourth album.
This time, Iga and Adachi are in charge not only of songwriting, composing, and performing, but also of some of the recording and mixing. The beautiful, delicate, and colorful soundscape that only these three can produce resonates to every corner of the space and beyond the decay, and Wakana Ikeda (flute) and Tokutaro Hosoi (guitar), who are developing highly original musical activities, also contribute their unique sounds as guests. The first single, "Kimi no Tabi," which will be released digitally on April 1st ahead of the album, is a work by Terao that reflects on the "life" of people throughout history who were forced to confront their own death at a young age. The second single, scheduled for release on April 22nd, is "Peppermint Times," with lyrics by singer-songwriter Mom, known for her exquisite lyrics full of critical spirit despite her young age, depicting a "night train of oblivion," and music composed by Iga.
All of these songs strongly reflect the worldview that connects to the album title, "forgotten." When asked about making music together as a trio, they said: "The reason we're working together is because we want to have diverse things coexist within one album, and thanks to our efforts, I think we've achieved that goal. A band is a small symbiotic society." (Terao) "There's a process of gradually absorbing the 'something that can't be put into words' that the other two, with their different sensibilities, are perceiving, and my own world of perception expands. That's fun." (Adachi) "It helps correct my own laziness." (Iga) The true essence of "Fuyu ni Wakarete" lies in the sonic world where the differences in sensibilities of the three are interwoven and blended in multiple layers. Please enjoy to the fullest this way of coexistence born in the turbulent era of 2026.
