It has been announced that Satoko Shibata will release a new version of her latest album, “Your Favorite Things,” titled “My Favorite Things,” on Wednesday, October 23rd.
This work focuses on the solo artist Satoko Shibata. The production started when Takuro Okada, who co-produced the original version, suggested that she also make an acoustic version. Takuro Okada continues to co-produce this album.
In addition, as an early reservation bonus at some stores, “Satoshi Shibata Tour 2024 “Your Favorite Things” Additional Performance 2024.05.31 (DVD)” will be included. In addition, it has been decided that “Satoshi Shibata’s Alone ’24 ~My Favorite Things~”, the annual solo hall performance, will be held in Tokyo and Osaka in November.
[Comment from Satoko Shibata]
The opportunity to make “My Favorite Things” came when Takuro Okada, who worked with me on the recently released album “Your Favorite Things,” suggested that I make an album of the same album with just the guitar and vocals. I’d been performing alone countless times up until now, but I didn’t have any particular preferences or ideals for this type of sound, so I didn’t have any guidelines for making an album of just the guitar and vocals, and I didn’t feel like I could make it, so I always hesitated. However, this time, Okada said he would work with me, so I was able to head to the recording session, thinking that we might be able to make something good.
As expected, I realized my lack of skill and lack of thought in arranging by myself, and I was shocked at my arrogance and insensitivity, thinking, “How could I have done it like this…” It was a time to face the current situation, and although I felt embarrassed and it was hard to persevere, I am really glad that I had this recording. Without this album, I think I would have continued to sing and play the guitar in a daze forever. It was like it saved me from a quiet crisis… I was really glad to realize that music time is never easy, no matter what form it takes, and that there is always so much to think about. I think it was an incredible luxury to be able to look back at such a very beginning with such a great musician as Okada. Furthermore, after Toshihiko Kasai did the miking on the first day, all the recording was done by Okada, the three of us, including his manager Hayama, and it was amazing that they managed to complete it despite struggling with the large SSL mixer. (I finished before I even understood anything about SSL) I am extremely grateful to Yu Taniguchi, who taught me from scratch how to sing and play on the keyboard, was present at the recording, and encouraged me when I felt like I couldn’t play anymore. Thank you so much to everyone who worked with me on this and gave me such a rare experience! I think it’s a great album. I hope you enjoy this as well as “Your Favorite Things”, so please look forward to it!
