Shugorei - Memories of Magic—魔法の記憶—Mahō no Kioku (2025)

'Memories of Magic—魔法の記憶—Mahō no Kioku' is a spellbinding new album from Shugorei – the genre-defying collaboration between percussionist Nozomi Omote and composer/producer Thomas Green. Bell-like vibes, ritual drums and glitching electronics merge under projected visions of ancient forests and neon-lit spirits.

Shugorei’s new album weaves mythic narratives and urban animism into a tapestry of beat‑driven ceremony and classical lyricism.

Experience pulsing percussive textures, delicate melodies and boundary‑defying soundscapes, while projected visuals guide you through dreamscapes where past and future entwine. Dance among memories, awaken your senses, and step across the threshold into a world where sound becomes sorcery, and memories are of magic.
