Akina Nakamori "UNBALANCE+BALANCE" Released September 22, 1993 List Price: ¥3000 (tax included) #AkinaNakamori #TetsuyaKomuro #KojiTamaki Nakamori wrote the lyrics for two songs on this album: "Hikari no Nai Mangekyo" (Kaleidoscope Without Light) and "Kagerou" (Heat Haze). Regarding the singing on this album, Nakamori was conscious of the theme "UNBALANCE+BALANCE" and worked on "a subtle balance that is neither her natural voice nor her falsetto." She controlled her singing to bring out the subtle unbalance, such as slightly suppressing her voice in up-tempo songs where she would normally sing strongly. She reflected that she didn't sing any of the songs with the same vocalization. Also, in an interview for this album, Nakamori said that she was always exploring how to sing in a way that would be more communicative. The luxurious lineup of songwriters, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tetsuya Komuro, NOKKO, Koji Tamaki, Masato Sekiguchi, and Brother Corn, is also noteworthy. 【Tracklist】 1.

The recording period was only four days. She didn't do the piecemeal recording that most singers do now, and she recorded live, intentionally not using the same vocalization for any of the songs. Immediate purchase is welcome!! Thank you.
