Product Description

Musical actor Yoshio Inoue's first original album 『Greenville』.
This album is named after the land 『Greenville』 where Yoshio Inoue spent his childhood with his family and gained experiences that form the foundation of his current self.
It was produced under the theme of 『songs that gently accompany the various hardships, sorrows, and experiences everyone encounters in life』, which Yoshio Inoue set forth.
For production, Kotringo was brought in, and various artists provided songs.
Sometimes gently enveloping, sometimes quietly pushing you forward,
delicately yet positively woven and spun, creating an organic soundtrack of life.

A total of 10 conceptual songs, each artist digesting and creating their respective themes.
The album opens with the solemn atmosphere of “Prelude,” performed by Kitri, a piano duet vocal unit by his sister Mona and his younger sister Hina.
Similarly, Kitri wrote “The Only,” a positive acoustic pop song affirming living true to oneself.
Urban driving music “Diary” by singer-songwriter Kohei Dojima,
A somewhat nostalgic dance number “Lost In The Night” by producer/drummer mabanua and singer-songwriter Michael Kaneko,
And challenging tracks that refresh Yoshio Inoue’s previous image, such as the mid-tempo R&B “Garden of Memories” by songwriting duo Mononcure.
The overall production of the album’s “Timetable” was handled by Kotringo, with Keiichi Tominaga producing and arranging, turning it into a colorful pop number.
Likewise, Kotringo wrote “Life,” a lively jazz-flavored breakup song decorated with horn sections and brisk rhythm sections.
Yuuichi Ohata, a singer-songwriter, provided “Garden of Memories,” depicting warmth and calmness of loss.
The dramatic ballad “Untitled Poem,” composed by Ryuta Horai, who wrote and directed the 2021 play 『The Prince Who Cut Heads and the Foolish Woman』 in which Yoshio Inoue appeared, and composed by Kaito Abe.
The album gently closes with “Sea Breeze Gift to You,” a hopeful piece for the future, written by singer-songwriter Saho Terao with music by Shinya Kiyozuka.

【Artist’s Comment】
“I’ve sung musical songs and covers of famous songs until now, but secretly I’ve always wanted to create an album with only my original songs. Music that I listen to in my daily life.
This time, it was made possible by Kotringo’s all-encompassing production and the wonderful musicians’ songs.
I want to thank everyone involved. The title ‘Greenville’ is the name of a small town in North Carolina, USA, where I lived for one year when I was 13.
While recalling the various emotions I experienced during that year, I also reflected on what I learned later in life.
Some of the songs are in genres I’ve never sung before, but I realized that no matter the genre, music is really fun.
And ultimately, I learned that I am only myself, no matter what I sing.
Since this is my first full original album, I don’t know everything, but if it can reach someone’s heart, I will be the happiest.
Thank you very much.”
