Item Overview
A Conceptual Masterpiece Representing the Seasons of Japan
"Saijiki" is the groundbreaking full-length album by 3776 (Mi-na-na-ro), a musical project that embodies the spirit of Mount Fuji. Released after a four-year hiatus following their acclaimed previous work, this album is a monumental achievement in the Japanese indie scene. Produced by the avant-garde creator Akira Ide, it serves as a profound musical exploration of the Japanese calendar and the passage of time.
Japan's Most Innovative Progressive-Pop Project
3776 is widely recognized by critics and deep music fans as one of Japan’s most experimental "idol" projects. Far from mainstream J-Pop, their music blends progressive rock, electronic, and experimental elements. This album, personified by the solo performer Chiyono Ide, showcases a level of musical complexity that has earned them a cult following among international audiophiles.

Item Specifics
| Product Details | This album is a marvel of composition: it features 12 tracks representing the 12 months of the year. The time signature of each song matches its month (e.g., Track 1 is in 1/4 time, Track 2 is in 2/4, through to Track 12 in 12/4). The title "Saijiki" refers to the traditional Japanese almanac of seasonal words used in Haiku. By purchasing this CD, collectors are not just getting music, but a piece of modern Japanese art that translates ancient cultural concepts into a contemporary sonic experience. As an indie release on the NAMA label, this CD is difficult to find outside of specialized Japanese music shops. |
