Satoko Shibata’s new album “Your Favorite Things” will be released on February 28, 2024 (Wed.), and a new song, “White Chair,” which will be included in the album, was previously distributed on November 22 (Wed.).

Satoko Shibata is a singer-songwriter/poet from Hokkaido, Japan, who released “Bochibochi Ginga” in 2022 and “Synergy” in September 2023. She has been engaged in a wide range of expressive activities, including the release of her book “Kireigire no Diary” in October.
The previously released “White Chair” is an “R&B funk” number with a low center of gravity. Haruna Makiyama on bass, Koki Hama on drums, Yu Taniguchi on organ, and Seiho Soeda on saxophone, and Takuro Okada, who also played guitar, co-produced the album. Mastering was done by Dave Cooley, and artwork was done by Kei Sakawaki, as on the “Synergy” album. A comment from Shibata about the song has also been released.
We wrote the song together again! From the moment we recorded it, I wanted people to listen to it as soon as possible! I wanted people to listen to it as soon as we recorded it. Following the recording of the single “Synergy” with Takuro Okada, Haruna Makiyama, Koki Hama, Yu Taniguchi, Seiho Soeda, and Yoichi Miyazaki, we had another excellent mix by Mr. Okada, and Dave Cooley finished the song perfectly. The cool and pretty artwork is also by Kei Sakawaki. The artwork is also by Kei Sakawaki, and it looks great alongside “Synergy. We are very happy to be able to release this album again. Thank you very much, everyone. Please listen to the song!
The white chair in this song is actually near my house. The florist who turns his car around with exaggeration is also real. I have a huge incompatibility with the owner of that flower store. …… It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s just that our actions and intentions seem to cross paths in every way. I am a little depressed. The nearest florist is there, but I go to a florist a little further away to buy flowers. ……

A new album will be released on February 28, 2024! The title is “Your Favorite Things”. Actually, it is still in production. We are having a lot of fun experimenting and making it together.
