Asuka Kuroiwa / Monster (LP)

From the 3rd album "Too Long Spring" in which Seiichi Yamamoto participated in 2021,

The fourth album, "Kaibutsu," is released after a three-year hiatus.
This is his first vinyl release and digital release.

Singer-songwriter Kuroiwa Asuka has been performing live shows consistently based in Osaka since 2017, including a two-man event with Haino Keiji at Shibuya WWW in 2022.
This album features four band members: Suhara Keizo (Ba), Senoo Rickey (Dr), Hama (Gt), and HEAT (Gt), and includes seven songs, including the electric guitar track "Yoru no Umi," which tells a story spanning the time from dusk to early morning when the sky begins to turn a little brighter and bluer.
Her whispering voice contrasts with the band's impressive psychedelic guitar sound, making this a soulful album that touches the hearts of listeners like a light in the darkness.

-----------------------------

“Curse me, curse me.
Break the curse before you turn into a monster."

The curse that was cast without his knowledge transforms him into a giant monster.
Sometimes they turn into very scary monsters,
I think you could cast a good curse on yourself and turn into a very kind monster.
How you interpret it is up to each individual, but I want to be a kind monster. That's why I made the album "Monster."
