- Information
Distance is Kobayashi Azusa's debut mini-album, released 16 years after her latest single as a member of Country Musume. Six tracks are featured in the album, including 'Hyakunen no Ketsumatsu', 'Mirai no Kioku' (both are rock-like sound), and 'Kaze-iro no Sora' (pop sound). All lyrics were written by Azusa herself.
Since 2008, Azusa has been performing at small venues, away from the spotlight. This album is "Five years of my thoughts, feelings, and histories are neatly packed in this album."[1]
Azusa said in an interview: "Usually, I am not so great with carrying conversations and expressing my feelings, so I wrote the lyrics as if I was jotting down my inner thoughts and ideas on a notebook. [I recommend] 'SACRED DOLLS' which has the boldest sound of all tracks. "The song was written from a doll's perspective, as if I was a doll myself."[2]
Live concerts were held on the 18th and 27th of September at Nishikawa-guchi Hearts in Saitama Prefecture to promote the album.
