Haruomi Hosono releases 'Note of Mothership' on his birthday today; visualizer depicting the daily life of 'Dr. Tanuki' out tonight
Haruomi Hosono, who turned 79 today, July 9, has digitally released his new song "Note of Mothership." The audio visualizer for this track will be released on YouTube at 10 p.m.
"Note of Mothership" is a track from his new album "Yours Sincerely," to be released on Sept. 11. The song was created based on the concept of a "great motherhood" that quietly envelops humanity and the Earth, a subject Hosono has been deeply contemplating in recent years.
The visualizer was produced by the video production team Saigo no Shudan. Based on the concept of the quiet daily life of "Dr. Tanuki," who observes the ecology of living creatures using a microscope and magnifying glass, the animation depicts a fantastical and warm worldview.
The album "Yours Sincerely" will be released in a total of six formats across vinyl, CD, and cassette tape. The deluxe box edition of the vinyl will be bundled with a variety of goods such as an art sheet, postcard set, letter, stamp-shaped sticky notes, pencil set, and magnet, while the first-press limited edition CD is scheduled to come with an original handkerchief. The designs for the purchaser benefits at each shop have also been unveiled.
