Description

Naoki Urasawa is a manga artist with many fans around the world for his popular works including “YAWARA!”, “20th Century Boys”, “MONSTER”, and the ongoing manga series “Asadora!".

He is also a musician with a deep knowledge of music and has released two albums in the past.
“1/2 Century Man” is the memorable debut album by musician Naoki Urasawa, originally produced and released in 2008, and consists of 11 songs with a folk-rock flavour.

The album features splendid guests such as singer-songwriter Hitoshi Komuro, known as the founder of Japanese folk music; guitarist Ryomei Shirai of the Moonriders, who has always been ahead of the times since their formation in 1975; and keyboardist Hiroyuki Namba, who has supported Japanese city pop and progressive rock music.

"1/2 Century Man” is reminiscent of the manga world Naoki Urasawa creates, yet is highly accomplished as a music album.
The content is coloured by genre-bending sounds ranging from folk and pop/rock to blues, influenced by Bob Dylan and the Beatles. It highlights Naoki Urasawa's talent not as a manga artist who has sold 150 million copies worldwide, but as a music lover and a musician in his own right.
