Yutaka Hirasaka - Almost Blue

Catalog: INNER217 Vinyl LP 180gram Midnight Blue Vinyl Limited to 300 Hand numbered Hype stickers PREORDER - starts shipping end of September, 2026 Cassette Tape Transparent blue cassette Limited to 100 Vinyl mastering by Gus Elg at Sky Onion Mastering. Description This album consists of re-recordings of previously written songs—performed on a Gibson ES-335—alongside new tracks composed specifically around the theme of "blue." I feel I was able to infuse the album's sound with a sense of romanticism toward the color blue and a longing for that beautiful sky. Every time I complete a work, I open the notebook I carry within my heart and place a punctuation mark. I then move on toward the next point, but I find it truly special to be able to look back now and then—tracing the path I’ve walked much like re-reading a chapter. I am glad I created this work.
