Be sure to check out the video for “1-11-5 Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo” - now at the top of the Bandcamp release page - with a montage of photos, you’ll get a sense of Tatsuro’s neighborhood where his family lived for generations, just before the demolition (and photos from the beginning of the redevelopment). Editing was done by our friend Yudai Osawa. From the vinyl insert liner notes:
“The album’s story was inspired by the demolition and transformation of a small neighborhood near the Azabu-Juban area in Tokyo, called Mita Koyama-cho (三田小山町).
In the 1990s, rumors began about plans to redevelop the neighborhood by some Japanese corporations. In 2023, these plans finally took shape, and all the houses and shops in the area were demolished. My family’s house had stood there since the early 1930s, and several of my relatives had lived there over the years. Most of them have since passed away, by the end of 2023, the entire neighborhood was gone. I still feel a deep connection to that house, the memories of my family, and the stories of all the people who lived in and were a part of that small community. This album is my personal tribute to the house, the neighborhood, and to all of my family who spent their precious time there.”
