Kishi Bashi - Music from the Song Film: Omoiyari - Blue & Sky Blue Color Vinyl
Kishi Bashi's Omoiyari is both an album and a song film — an ambitious, deeply moving project about the Japanese American incarceration during World War II, told through Kaoru Ishibashi's signature blend of looped violin, orchestral pop, and soaring vocal harmonies. The title — a Japanese word meaning "empathy" or "thinking of others" — captures the project's gentle, humanistic approach to one of America's darkest chapters.
Ishibashi visited former incarceration sites and interviewed survivors, channeling their stories into music that honors their experiences without exploitation. The result is some of his most emotionally powerful work — songs that move between delicate beauty and sweeping orchestral grandeur, anchored by his extraordinary violin arrangements and vulnerable vocal performances. Pressed on blue & sky blue color vinyl, this is Kishi Bashi's most important and personal record.
Label: Joyful Noise
Format: Blue & sky blue color vinyl LP
