MIRAI (means “future” in Japanese) is the highly anticipated new album from Akira Kosemura, renowned composer/pianist & one of the most streamed Asian classical artists, following his successful solo piano album SEASONS. One of his most challenging and compelling albums to date, MIRAI is his first-ever vocal project album with 7 notable singers such as Devendra Banhart, Mr Hudson, Baths, Benjamin Gustafsson & Miyuki Hatakeyama.
Kosemura notes that the concept of this record is to describe the future from his personal perspective with music, for next generations.
Based on his background and experiences as a Japanese and composer, the album unites various elements from Asian traditional instruments, songs of Nagas in Myanmar, film soundtrack to post-rock, neo-classical and electronica, in his one-of-a-kind musicality and several languages, just like post-war Japanese culture developed uniquely with the influence from western countries.
Says Kosemura; “I came up with this project as I felt a sense of division during the COVID pandemic.” As a father raising his son, his focus has been shifted from his inner voices to the message for next generations. Featuring various instruments such as dilruba, erhu, shakuhachi, koto, shamisen and many others, MIRAI is his phantasmal statement for the future, as well as his journey to the utopia of music.
