Half Shoot – 伊勢正三* – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

“Half Shoot” finds 伊勢正三 in a reflective, late-afternoon light—closer to a songwriter’s diary than a polished pop product. Known from the folk duo かぐや姫 and the band 風, he brings that same gift for unhurried storytelling here, but with a more intimate, lived‑in touch. These songs feel like photographs left in a favorite book: slightly faded, but emotionally sharp.

The arrangements are understated—acoustic guitar at the center, with gentle band colors that never crowd the vocal. That restraint lets his phrasing and lyric sense do the heavy lifting. He lingers on everyday details: a passing season, a half‑remembered street, the way a voice sounds when someone’s trying not to say goodbye. Nothing is over-sung; the tension comes from what’s left unsaid.

On vinyl, this album comes into its own. The warmth of the pressing flatters the husk in his voice and the woodiness of the guitars, turning quiet songs into a room‑filling presence. For collectors of Japanese folk and city‑adjacent songcraft, “Half Shoot” is a rewarding listen: not a greatest-hits package, but a mature snapshot of an artist who understands that the smallest stories often leave the deepest mark.
