Share
'Misora' from 1972 is the only album thus far from Japanese singer-songwriter Sachiko Kanenobu - she left Japan and professional music in just before album's initial release. On 'Misora' (meaning 'Beautiful Sky') "she paints romantic portraits of nature, taps into wells of human emotion, and often ties the two together in beautiful ways", PopMatters says in review. Kanenobu herself translated the album lyrics, and wrote in liner notes that 'Misoru' is "place you can go and be creative… sky, meaning the inside of myself, and my mind, my creative mind". PM talked to Kanenobu, now living in Californina, who said - "after 46 years I'm finally getting a chance to promote my first record".
