《FROM THE FAR EAST》是日本女性说唱歌手RINRA的首张专辑，她生来便带有两只角。在低沉的808鼓点和硬朗节拍的驱动下，这张专辑将当代嘻哈音乐与三味线、尺八、古筝的音色融为一体。通过13首英文曲目，RINRA将诞生于日本的思想与符号——包括oni、samurai、matsuri、ninja、kintsugi、ichigo ichie、karaoke以及ganbare——带入全新的全球语境。偏见、边界、标签、伤痕、愤怒与孤独，统统被转化为舞池的能量。故事始于一位来自日本的鬼族少女，将舞台宣示为自己的领地；而结尾处，她将那句曾支撑自己前行的话语——“Ganbare”——传递给了下一位听众。FROM THE FAR EAST is the debut album by RINRA, a Japanese female rapper born with two horns.Driven by massive 808s and hard-edged beats, the album fuses contemporary hip-hop with the sounds of shamisen, shakuhachi, and koto. Across 13 English-language tracks, RINRA brings ideas and symbols born in Japan-including oni, samurai, matsuri, ninja, kintsugi, ichigo ichie, karaoke, and ganbare-into a new global context.The album transforms prejudice, borders, labels, scars, anger, and isolation into energy for the dance floor. It begins with an oni girl arriving from Japan and claiming the stage as her own country, and ends with her passing the word that once carried her forward-"Ganbare"-to the next listener.
