Chihiro Seemiconductor

Chihiro Yamanaka is a Japanese jazz pianist and composer. She has more than a dozen recordings released under her own name, principally on the Verve label, most of which have been released internationally. As of 2012, she is based in New York City. "Reminiscence", her eighth album as leader, is packed with her unique personality, deriving from the accumulation of her years of colorful activities. She creates her unmistakable world by integrating her own swing, bluesiness, funkiness, as well as her free viewpoint towards a wide range of music genres, all in line. A contemporary jazz piano which stretches outwardly after absorbing all of the old school jazz piano - experiencing her free-spirited and full-of-personality groove is part of the thrilling joy only jazz can provide. This album seems to have a special meaning to her. The title is a reminder of the nuclear accident in her hometown of Fukushima.

Chihiro, dix ans, a tout d'une petite fille capricieuse. Elle s'apprête à emménager avec ses parents dans une nouvelle demeure. Sur la route, la petite famille se retrouve face à un immense bâtiment rouge au centre duquel s'ouvre un long tunnel. De l'autre côté du passage se dresse une ville fantôme. Les parents découvrent dans un restaurant désert de nombreux mets succulents et ne tardent pas à se jeter dessus. Ils se retrouvent alors transformés en cochons.
Prise de panique, Chihiro s'enfuit et se dématérialise progressivement. L'énigmatique Haku se charge de lui expliquer le fonctionnement de l'univers dans lequel elle vient de pénétrer. Pour sauver ses parents, la fillette va devoir faire face à la terrible sorcière Yubaba, qui arbore les traits d'une harpie méphistophélique.
