A new vinyl/analog record will be released of the live premiere of "Ihatov Symphony," composed by world-renowned synthesizer artist/composer Isao Tomita and featuring the virtual singer Hatsune Miku as soloist. "Ihatov Symphony," the
masterpiece of Tomita Isao, who passed away in 2016, premiered in 2012 and was also a hot topic for featuring Hatsune Miku as soloist.
It has been performed many times, which is unusual for a new classical symphony, and the live CD of the premiere became a smash hit, selling over 16,000 copies.
The symphony, which depicts the world of Kenji Miyazawa's work in trinity with a large orchestra and choir totaling about 300 people, and Hatsune Miku, who performed with an orchestra for the first time, will be reborn as an analog record five years after Tomita's death and nine years after the premiere. The LP will feature "Ihatov Symphony," and the EP will feature Tomita's popular song "Ribbon no Kishi," which was performed as an encore at the premiere. A SONOCA card from Crypton will also be included, and the audio can also be downloaded. The artwork was newly created for this analog project, and will be illustrated by one of the most popular illustrators, Rella.
In addition to the illustration on the main jacket, five illustrations inspired by the Miku appearance movement from Ihatov Symphony and each song in "Ribbon no Kishi" will be separately drawn. In addition, the cutting of the analog record this time will be handled by Shigeru Takezawa, Japan's top cutting engineer. You can expect the sound quality of the record to be of the highest quality.
