"Fuyuka," a collaborative best-of album by haruka nakamura and THE NORTH FACE Sphere, is finally being released on 12-inch LP with analog mastering.

"Winter & Summer
" THE NORTH FACE Sphere, an ambitious new store building opened in Harajuku, Tokyo in 2022.

As the soundtrack for the building, haruka nakamura was requested to create "one album for each of the four seasons," and the resulting music was titled "Light years," becoming a project to produce four albums over the course of a year. The LP
is divided into "Spring & Autumn" and "Winter & Summer" based on the worldview of the production chronologically, and is a best-of compilation selected from the four original albums.

This work, "Winter & Summer," is a best-of compilation of the first work, "Light years," and the third work, "from dusk to the sun."
(The "Spring & Autumn" version will also be released simultaneously.)

Although it has already been released digitally and on cassette tape, it has
been newly analog-mastered by Gen Tanabe (studio camel house) of orbe, making it a long-awaited release.
