"Ballad of the Stars - Disney Songs on Guitar"

A slightly more mature acoustic album by the soothing guitarist Naganori Sakakibara, featuring covers of Disney classics played only on gut guitar.

The album includes 15 songs, including classic hits such as "When You Wish Upon a Star" (Pinocchio) and "Someday My Prince Will Come" (Snow White), as well as popular recent live-action adaptations such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" (Cinderella), as well as newer works such as "Try Everything" (Zootopia) and "How Far I'll Go" (Moana).

Sakakibara's signature deep-resonant gut guitar tone, jazz-flavored arrangements, and soulful performances that seem to breathe speak various stories to the hearts of listeners.

It's an album that will take you to a magical world if you close your eyes and listen to it.

You're sure to be soothed!


Naganori Sakakibara
Born in 1960, he began playing the acoustic guitar at the age of 15. After turning professional and playing a variety of string instruments, he narrowed his musical expression to the gut guitar in his 30s, and arrived at a "world of sound that encourages introspection," which he considers to be the "essence of healing."

Previous participating units include "IMEHA," an acoustic guitar unit that uses Hawaiian slack tuning, and "Duo LIBRA," a piano and guitar duo unit with former T-SQUARE member Izumi Hirotaka.

In 2016, he released his original album "You and Me," composed entirely of gut guitar, and in March 2017, he released the Ghibli cover album "Forest Ballad - Ghibli Songs on Guitar" from Della.
