安藤桃子監督作「0.5ミリ」の主題歌に使われた“残照”が話題になった彼女の移籍第1弾となる3年ぶりの新作だ。透明で静かな夜を描き出すピアノ弾き語り曲“停電哀歌”もあれば、森は生きていると共にジャジー・グルーヴを編み出す“リアルラブにはまだ”、オオルタイチが紡ぐ電子音と密なる対話を行う“あの日”など、個性的な面々と作り上げた繊細にして濃厚な歌世界は、これまででもっとも美しい寺尾作品と断言できる。

Saho Terao’s Daen no Yume (meaning Elliptical Dream)
Achieved public recognition by the song “Zansho” (meaning Afterlight) (a main theme song for the movie 0.5mm by prominent film director Momoko Ando), the distinguished singer-songwriter Saho Terao’s first full-length release in three years has arrived, － the first from her newly signed P-Vine label. Enfolding various tunes such as the singing-and-piano playing “Teiden Aika” (meaning Blackout Elegy) depicting a clear and quiet night, or the Jazzy groovy tune played with the six-piece unit Mori Wa Ikiteiru, “Real Love Niwa Mada” (meaning Not yet Real Love), or “Ano Hi” (meaning That Day), a track featuring an intimate chat with pop musician Oorutaichi’s electric sound, with the support of a bunch of unique guest artists, her creation of dainty and deeply rich vocal world can be affirmed as the most beautiful Terao work ever, definitely.
