NHKの朝ドラ「べっぴんさん」の音楽を担当して注目が集まるなか、そのサントラと同日に放たれる2作目は、ガラリとスタイルを変えた問題作。阿部芙蓉美の手掛けた“Honeymoon”のような可憐でアコースティックなナンバーもあるが、ゴスでニューウェイヴな世界観&音像のダークな楽曲が多くを占めている。砂原良徳によるリミックスもミカドを彷彿とさせる退廃的なフレンチ・テクノ・ポップでハマっております。
[English Translation]
A Japanese singer-songwriter who is gaining attention through her music for NHK’s "Beppin-san" morning drama, sébuhiroko drops her second album, which coincides with the release of the drama’s soundtrack album. It’s a provoking effort as it adopts a completely different style to what she has shown in “Beppin-san.” There are sweet moments with acoustic instruments like "Honeymoon," written by Japanese singer-songwriter Fuyumi Abe, though “L/GB” is dominated by tracks that provide a dark soundscape akin to gothic new wave. Techno musician Yoshinori Sunahara’s remix is also a captivating, decadent French techno pop tune that brings Mikado to mind.
