100 Favourite Japanese albums: #050 – night

night. Odani Misako (2003)

An accomplished pianist, composer and songwriter, Odani’s classical-pop crossover sound has drawn a considerable number of celebrity fans and collaborators – bloodthirsty butchers’s Tabuchi Hisako, LOST IN TIME, Ling Tosite Sigure, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and Nakamura Kazuyoshi have all paid tribute to her many talents. All of her albums are accessible and easy on the ears, but night is especially so with its soaring, earnest ballads – think a tortured Onitsuka Chihiro singing happy Rie fu songs, and you may have gotten a step closer to pinning Odani Misako’s style down.
