Inner Ear

Japanese blog

Through Disc Union our records are now available in Japan. Yesterday we found this blog on the Internet where Naoki Iwakiri praises Roger´s World of Emily. We don´t understand all of it, but it says something like this:

“Naoki Iwakiri liked so much about this CD… After listening to Marit Sandvik’s voice… He cannot stop, not even for drinking… While thinking about cold Nordic winter’s weather… umm… Nice atmosphere…
