If you haven’t heard it yet, stop reading this and open up your favorite streaming platform and give Shimabukuro Masaru’s first solo album “55rpm” a listen because it’s so beautiful. And because the album is beautiful, expect a music video for one of the tracks off of the album, “Yorokobi no Blues”, to be just as beautiful — I’m not crying, it’s dust in my eyes. Anyhoo, as is expected when one of Okinawa music’s most respected musicians releases a single/album, you’ll have a lot of support. In the music video his backing band is HoRookies with rapping from Rude-α (yeah, we’ve been mentioning his name a lot here lately) and acting from Riho. Enjoy!
