Reminiscence by 49days and I Album • 2026 • 3 Songs • 15 mins

49days and I - Reminiscence
The latest EP from Tokyo shoegaze band. Beneath swirling noise and distortion, dusk-tinted nostalgia seeps through. Lost childhood memories surface. The Evangelion reference on #1 “Friend.” is a strong touch.
FFO: Parannoul, kuragari, Sadness

ある49日と私『回想』
東京発オルタナティブ・シューゲイズ・バンドの1st EP。ノイズが渦巻く轟音の中に黄昏色のノスタルジアが滲む。脳裏に浮かぶのは、もう戻らない子供時代の温かく幸福な記憶。#1 “ともだち。”におけるエヴァの引用も秀逸。
FFO: Parannoul、kuragari、Sadness（近作）

ONI NO MIGIUDE - VOODOO IN MAGMA
3rd AL of Japanese tribal experimental rock. A fusion of folk, prog, metal, and trip-hop centered on mystical vocals in a constructed language. Darker and heavier, this evolution is like a ritual reaching the source of the arcane.

鬼の右腕『VOODOO IN MAGMA』
日本のトライバル・エクスペリメンタル・ロック3rdAL。架空言語の神秘的な歌声を軸に、トライバル／フォーク、プログレ、メタル、トリップホップを融合。さらに妖しくヘヴィに深化したサウンドは、神秘の根源へと至る儀式さながら。本年度AOTY大本命の1つ。
