Mieko Nishijima / Lost Hour
Mieko Nishijima / Lost Hour
Comments:
Japan Original Pressing. Urban folk-pop twilight — string glow, bossa sway, and late-night walks in the city.
On “Lost Hour,” Mieko Nishijima leans into urbane folk-pop: lyrical melodies, soft string textures, and a faint bossa/Latin sway. The character is shaped by arrangers Akira Inoue and Ryoichi Kuniyoshi, giving the set a gentle but polished studio arc. From the summer glide of “Nagisa o Hashiru Dolphin” and the dreamlike “Imagination Canvas” to the reflective lift of “Once More,” it plays like a late-night walk through the city.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
