Sousuke Koyamauchi, a singer-songwriter from Hirosaki, released a mini album “HANETO” on July 14th.

Koyamauchi's first new album in about two years. "I want to send something that seems to be Aomori", all five songs are newly recorded, including songs that were only shown live and those used as corporate CM. On the same day, it started selling at CD stores in Aomori prefecture.

Mr. Koyamauchi who started music activity from junior high school. After graduating from Hirosaki University, he continued his activities while living in the prefecture and worked for the Michinoku Bank. Also called "Aomori no Oguraka" due to his activity style, he often appears on TV and radio, and also performs live activities outside the prefecture.

"HANETO" recorded in the album is a commercial song of "Michinoku Bank", which has been broadcast on TV since October last year. “I tried to leave good things and create new ones, and I thought that there are always opportunities,” says Mr. Koyamauchi. “I was happy to hear that my company wanted me to provide commercial songs,” he recalls.

Mr. Koyamauchi reveals that "Snow Country", which is also recorded, represents winter and "1LDK" represents spring. “I lived in Hirosaki, but since April, I have moved to Aomori City and moved to another place. I am layering myself in “1LDK”.”

Advance tickets were sold out at the release event held on the same day at the pub "Robbin's Nest" (Omachi, Hirosaki City) near JR Hirosaki Station. He sang all 15 songs, and told the fans who visited it, "Because I had the theme of a jumper that enlivens Aomori's summer, I was able to make it in time for Nebuta."
