RIO: With Sunday’s rather recent and sudden announcement of a new Shibayan album on the horizon in ‘TOHO BOSSA NOVA 10,’ I thought I’d take a slight side step to honour the occasion by uploading a Shibayan song in some way I haven’t before, and what better way than to feature the instrumental version of a classic in ‘秋扇,’ which features on one of my favourite albums in ‘ココロバイブレーション！’ It always sounds weird listening to these versions without the vocals, in this case it’s poor ℃iel that is cut out to let us hear the structuring and buildup that is often overlooked when listening to songs like ‘秋扇！’ I might throw in an occasional Shibayan Instrumental on the upload schedule which totally doesn’t even exist in the first place to spice things up even more. So enjoy either listening closely to the inner workings and genius of this masterpiece or enjoy embarrassing yourself trying to sing along in the style of ℃iel whilst sounding like a dying cat. Idk why I used that analogy, I have nothing against cats except everything about them. (´ー｀)

Also the next Shibayan album released better be electro based, it’s WAY overdue... (´ω｀)

The album that this version of ‘秋扇’ appears on is called ‘ShibayanRecords Instrumental Vol.1,’ which is a compilation album of various different Shibayan instrumental arranges from some of their most popular works. The instrumental album is available on Booth and DLsite to download digitally. Alternatively if you are looking for a physical copy of the CD, it doesn’t exist unfortunately, only digitally.

The original album that ‘秋扇’ featured on is called ‘ココロバイブレーション / Kokoro vibration’ and is available to download digitally at the links I’ve provided below. If you are looking for a physical CD of this album, I’m afraid that it is no longer in circulation and is unlikely to be re-released as stated previously by Shibayan himself, as it’s apparently too costly to reproduce.
