NITEFLYTE by Hiroshi Nagai 

A gorgeous collection of works centered around Hiroshi Nagai's "Night View Series" on 7-inch analog records!

Hiroshi Nagai is a popular illustrator who has been involved in various scenes, such as advertisements, posters, records and CDs, as typified by the jacket of Eiichi Ohtaki's "A LONG VACATION". His
summer scenes, which instantly make people feel the summer when they see them, are deeply etched in people's memories as visuals that symbolize the era, regardless of age or gender,

both in Japan and overseas. Hiroshi Nagai is famous for his impressive illustrations of summer sunshine, palm trees, and poolsides that everyone has seen at least once, but did you know that he has also created many works depicting night views?
An airplane flying through a neon-lit cityscape, a poolside at dusk, fireworks rising into the night sky... He beautifully depicts many scenes, along with the twilight period (magic hour), which is said to be experienced for only a few minutes before sunset.

These days, Nagai Hiroshi's illustrations are also gaining popularity in the movement known as Vaporwave, which roams the seas of the internet and gives off an 80s-90s vibe. In
this project, we will deliver a total of 20-25 representative illustrations of night scenes in a unique format that is laid out to fit the pages of a 7-inch analog record.

永井博の“夜景シリーズ"を中心にまとめた、アナログレコード7インチサイズの豪華作品集!

大瀧詠一「A LONG VACATION」のジャケットに代表される広告、ポスター、レコード・CDと、これまで様々なシーンを彩ってきた人気イラストレーター・永井博。
見た人が瞬時に夏を感じることのできる夏の情景は、国内外、老若男女問わず時代を象徴するビジュアルとして人々の記憶に深く刻まれています。

そんな永井博といえば、夏の日差し、ヤシの木、プールサイドといった、誰もが一度は目にしたことのある、印象的なイラストが有名ですが、夜景を描いた作品も数多く手掛けているのをご存じでしょうか。
ネオン輝く街並みを飛んでいくairplane、黄昏どきのpoolside、夜空にあがるfireworks…。数多くのシーンを、日没前に数十分間だけ体験できると言われる、薄明の時間帯(マジックアワー)とともに見事に描いています。

昨今では、ヴェイパーウェイヴ(Vaporwave)と呼ばれる、ネットの海を回遊しながら、80~90年代の雰囲気を感じるムーブメントにおいても、これら永井博のイラストは盛り上がりを見せています。
今回の企画では、夜景に絞った全20~25点の代表的なイラストレーションを、アナログ7インチレコードサイズの誌面にあわせてレイアウトした、独特の判型でお届けします。
