Singer-songwriter Miho Nakano, known for weaving vivid imagery into rich melodies, presents her latest release, Bones—a quietly powerful and emotionally resonant work.

With a voice that is both strong and supple, carrying a hint of melancholy, Nakano delivers a stunning collection of songs that gently stir something deep within.

Drawing inspiration from her subconscious, dreams, and imagination, this new release marks a more personal and introspective turn in her songwriting. She describes Bones as a work that strips away the external to reveal what lies at her core—the “bones” of her identity.

Among the highlights is “So long,” a haunting track that conjures cold, dreamlike landscapes reminiscent of her native Hokkaido; “オレンジ” ("Orange"), a tender reflection on the bittersweet evolution of friendships over time; and “グリーンピース” ("Green Peas"), which offers a quiet, heartfelt prayer for peace in the rhythm of daily life. The EP also includes “ねずみの記憶” ("Memory of a Mouse"), a whimsical yet poignant song carried by a swinging piano phrase, and “バニラ” ("Vanilla"), which explores the complexities of ambivalent love.

A deeply introspective and beautifully crafted release, Bones captures the essence of Miho Nakano’s artistry at a new depth—making it a must-have for fans of nuanced, emotionally rich songwriting.
