My Story, The Buraku Story (An Original Soundtrack)

My Story, The Buraku Story is a feature-length documentary film that delves into the discrimination faced by a group known as "the burakumin" in Japan. These individuals were historically marginalized based on their place of residence and bloodline, rather than race or ethnicity. Director Yusaku Mitsuwaka envisioned an exceptional score for this culturally significant subject, enlisting Mono to provide their cinematic music. In My Story, The Buraku Story, Mono showcases a blend of electronic textures with their signature dynamic rock style, resulting in a more subdued and poignant sound. The album features compositions centered around piano, strings, synths, and choral vocal loops, all meticulously arranged to evoke profound emotional depth. This release stands as Mono's most delicate album to date, serving as a poignant accompaniment to their inaugural full-length film soundtrack.
