Ozawa Akira
小澤明
acoustic shibuya, sunday afternoon
introduction
Ozawa Akira inhabits the quieter, more introspective wing of Shibuya-kei — neo-acoustic, guitar-forward, emotionally understated. The sound of a Sunday afternoon record store in Shibuya in 1994, the feeling of reading liner notes for an import you can barely afford. A deliberately straightforward full Japanese personal name, creating a grounded, human quality in contrast to more constructed identities.
