春風 "Harukaze" by Yusaku Iida / NYORAI

"春風(Harukaze)" was an album originally produced in 2023 for the UK label Subclimbers. It was released for a limited time in digital and CD format at the time. Last year, I received the same message from several listeners.All of the messages were along the lines of, "I want to listen to "(春風)Harukaze", but what should I do?"After much deliberation, I have decided to respond to the voices of my listeners and release "春風(Harukaze)" again.

Below is a brief explanation of my intentions behind creating "春風(Harukaze)".


"春風(Harukaze)" in Japanese means ‘spring breeze’ in English In Japan, it is also called 暄⾵(Kenpu), and has been used as anauspicious word since ancient times. Harukaze was created with the hopethat our chaotic world will move in a better direction. And It also containsthe 禅(Zen) spirit that has been handed down in Japan since ancient times,that "all things are originally empty, and there is nothing to be attached to".The starting point of this work is the thought that now is the time for ushumans to reconsider ourselves.

I get ideas for my works from everything in this world. For example, I getmy inspiration mainly from simply being around Japanese nature, such asthe sunny sky, the leaves wet with rain, and the moon that changes shapeevery night.


Finally, I would like to thank all of our listeners who supported us in re-releasing "春風(Harukaze)".
