This is the sacred place of Saashi Riho. In Hiroshima
"TOWER RECORDS" is close to music lovers

“NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.” — TOWER RECORDS, which provides various entertainment information, mainly music, at stores and online, with the philosophy of enriching feelings and lives through music. The shop on the 9th floor of Hiroshima PARCO New Building, which opened as the sixth store in Japan in 1989, has approximately 50,000 inventories, making it the largest store in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions, making it the base for music lovers in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.
"The largest record shop in Hiroshima. Every time I release a mini album (EP) or new song, I always have an event here. When information about the new song comes out, "When do you come to Hiroshima?" `I'll wait!' It's like that, and it's a place where local fans call out and are packed with memories," says Satoho.
The day before this filming, an autograph session was held to commemorate the release of the first album "Symbolized" released on July 24.
"I came back to work!" And a lot of people came here on weekdays. It's been a long time since I was able to talk directly with the fans. When I came from Kyushu and happened to pass in front of Tawarako, I said, "Let's go because people with names I know are having an event!" ] There were some people who came with me, and there was a nice meeting. It was very fun and I had a conversation with everyone."

"The music played in my mother's car
I may have come to love dancing with nature."

"I think my mother's influence is so great that I like dance. My mother is a hit song in the United States, or she likes hip-hop and has been playing at home all the time. On the car, I put a uhr with a heavy bass sound (laughs). Vibration is transmitted directly to the body, so I think that a sense of rhythm has been developed. Yesterday, my mother was playing the reggae with a loud sound by car (laughs). I'm riding while thinking, "It's noisy anymore," but something feels like "I'm back home!" That's what I think."
While talking like that, sheaths carefully search for analog records (LP boards). A variety of genres are available, ranging from city pop to easy listening, mood music, jazz, pop, rock, Santra and other classics to men and women of all ages enjoy, such as Safe Zone, Hikaru Utada, Keith Jarrett, and Charlie Pus. The one I happened to take in my hand when I was worried about my jacket became my favorite music.……The encounter and discovery of unexpected music unique to the shop is also exceptional.
The Music x TOWER RECORDS Music Keychain, which is handheld by the sheath teacher, is a Tawarako original model that appeared from the music keychain of The Music, which is popular on SNS, as "wearing music as an item." Just by bringing the key ring closer to the tip of your smartphone, you can read the installed songs anytime, anywhere.

It's been three years since I started walking on the path of solo.
What makes me feel now

Riho Saashi who released his first full album "Symbolized" on July 24th. Consisting of a selection of songs and new songs that have been released since their solo debut in 2021, the music production team has unique members such as Kenta Matsukuma, Yuto Hekikai, Nenashi, yacco (DURDN, tee tea), and 80KIDZ. The key visual was taken by Taga Nakano. It is attracting a lot of attention as a work filled with the charm of sheathers drawn out by various creators.
"The word 'Symbolized' is an English word that means 'symbolized' and 'elephant'. It's been about three years since I started singing alone, but I wanted to make an album like "I am now in one break", so I made it Symbolized. That's exactly what makes me now. I also tried composing music for the first time. I made it with Mr. yacco, but the method we took was to make songs with improvised nasty. It was my first composition, so at first I couldn't imagine how to make it, but you can turn and make it casually! Yeah. The too high hurdles I had in the composition could be broken a bit, and I thought it was "fun." I thought it would be a great meaning for me to make this song ("paradise"). The collaboration with yacco, who can share ideas and feel sympathy, was very fresh and interesting."

The clear air of Hiroshima awakens
Various memories that dwell at the origin of Saboshi Riho

"When I return to Hiroshima, I have my parents' home and I feel very calm. At the same time, he said, "Have you done something?" And there are times when I feel a little nervous……。 Perhaps because of the clear air of Hiroshima, it makes me think about various things. I remember going to a dance school every week, and when I work in Hiroshima like today, I can recall the memories of going out to play with my family. I have a lot of fun memories, but there are some parts that I felt "it was hard", including the fact that my family picked up and picked up at the dance school. I feel like that. It's also my starting point. To the people of Hiroshima, "Oh, sheath!" I think I should do my best so that you can think of it."
"My father and mother were strict about courtesy and discipline, but for the 'choice' they make, please!' In a family with a sense of love. When I said, "I want to learn dance," I was a thankful family who let me learn and did anything. Even if you say "I'm going to Tokyo", "OK!" 。 If you say, "I'm going to New York," you said, "Hello!" It's like that (laughs). I've always been grateful for being able to do it freely. I started working when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, so "What should I do as a professional?……Sometimes I sometimes think hard, but my parents don't say anything about the choices I made, so I feel like I've balanced my mind there."
