On November 29, Akiko Yano will release her new album, “Soft Landing.” It is the latest in her series of piano-centric albums. The album is a mix of covers and original material, including the title track, which served as the theme song for the NHK drama “Blanket Cats.” In terms of covers, Akiko will cover the likes of YUKI, Fujifabric, and Burt Bacharach.
“Soft Landing” will be released in a limited edition and a regular edition. The limited edition’s DVD is split into three parts. The first part oversees the album’s making, while the second part includes performance footage from the 90s to today, some of which has never been released before. The third part contains music videos. The limited edition also includes a 76-page booklet which contains interviews with Akiko and the musicians who helped make the new album.
