kinoue64's Daily Life Vanishes is a lacquer cut LP limited to 100 copies, out April 2027. Shoegaze built around Hatsune Miku vocals, with a bilingual lyric insert.
Takuto Kinoshita makes shoegaze using Hatsune Miku as his vocal instrument. That description will stop some people and intrigue others, and the latter group is the right one to be in. The approach works because Kinoshita treats the vocal source like any other texture in the wall of sound he is building, and because the pop instincts underneath the noise are strong enough to carry the weight.
Daily Life Vanishes is coming out on Otter Records and Daydream Records as a lacquer cut, pressed to just 100 copies. A lyric insert is included with the original Japanese text alongside English translations, which is a good call for an artist whose work does not always cross language barriers in digital form.
The timeline here is long: manufacturing is underway now and shipping is expected roughly six months out, with a release date of April 2027. With a run of 100, the preorder is the only reliable way to get one. If you are not already across kinoue64‘s work, this is a good moment to look.
