Japanese musician ohashiTrio released his latest album ‘GOLD HOUR’ on November 13. This is ohashiTrio’s first original full-length album in about three years, and follows his 2023 EP ‘Karatachi no Yume’, which included the opening theme to Season 2 of the hit drama series ‘What Did You Eat Yesterday?’, as well as the theme song for the NHK Saturday drama series ‘Tantei Romance’. Last year he also released the collaboration album ‘Trio & Charm’ with Japanese group THE CHARM PARK.
‘GOLD HOUR’ contains a total of 10 songs, including four songs taken from last October’s digital-only EP and self-covers of ‘Karatachi no Yume’ and Japanese singer lily’s song ‘Chiisana uta’ (which ohashiTrio produced), as well as unreleased new songs. The album is a treasure trove of rich music that blends various styles and genres into complex pop music, a product of ohashiTrio’s unique musical sense and meticulous sound production.
The first-pressing limited edition video set includes live footage from ohashiTrio’s 15th anniversary performance ‘TRIO ERA 2’, which was held at the Tokyo International Forum in November 2022 with lily (Yuriko Ishida) as a guest.
