This is "Mattiola," an album self-produced by mei ehara, also known as "may. e," during her indie days. She is affiliated with Kakubarhythm, the same label as cero, Homecomings, SAKEROCK (Hoshino Gen), Kazumi Nikaido, and Wataru Sawabe of スカート (Skirt). The album is in excellent condition, almost "like new," especially the packaging. May. e is a highly active SSW in recent years, having participated in a tribute album to Haruomi Hosono of Happy End's masterpiece "HOSONO HOUSE" and Cornelius's "Kawaru Kieru" (formerly of Flipper's Guitar), which is a Shibuya-kei band. This album is her first, and even more difficult to obtain than her masterpiece "Private Life," which will remain in the history of Japanese music. Taiyo Someya of Lamp also recommends it. Influenced by The Smiths, she has gone through indie rock, shoegaze by My Bloody Valentine, and dream pop. This work is highly regarded worldwide as a "unique masterpiece" in the modern era. After signing with a major label, she has been producing Kicell, and Ehara has developed a unique city pop-like band sound, described as "a combination of Taeko Ohnuki and D'Angelo." However, this work features the influence of UK rock and neo-acoustic music, such as the 5th track "Kataomori," and the acid folk of a daydream, boasting a dizzying beauty, the 6th track "Bookmark." She showcases her clear voice, which seems to stretch endlessly, in all songs. Works from the may. e era, including this one, are strongly desired for reissue worldwide, but it was stated on Ehara's Instagram last summer that "there will be no reissues." Considering the lifespan of CD-Rs and the rarity of their availability in the market, it is highly likely that it will become difficult to listen to when it appears on the market again. It is a masterpiece that anyone who loves music should listen to at least once. Playback has been confirmed, and all songs can be listened to in the highest sound quality without any problems. We hope you will take this opportunity to acquire this truly wonderful masterpiece. [Limited-time offer. Please purchase early if you are considering it.]
