Nine months after the release of Ima no Watashi wa Kawaritsuzukete Ano Koro no Watashi de Irareteru, the first solo album of Negicco’s Kaede, she is releasing a new mini-album, Stardust in Blue, on September 8th.
A first-time experiment, this conceptual album welcomes Lamp’s Someya Taiyo and Uwanosora’s Kadoya Hirohide as its producers, along with a lavish cast of musicians including Nagai Yusuke (Lamp), Sakakibara Kaori (Lamp), Iemoto Megumi (Uwanosora), and Tanaka Jacob (Yanushi).
We conducted a remote interview with Kaede, Someya, and Kadoya to ask them about the album.
