Misia Hoshizora no Live Song Book: History of Hoshizora Live (MISIA 星空のライヴ SONG BOOK HISTORY OF HOSHIZORA LIVE) is the second live album by Japanese singer Misia. It compiles live material, spread out over two discs, collected from the Hoshizora Live concert series, recorded from its first installment in 2001 to the most recent in 2015, in commemoration of the series' 15th anniversary.[1] The double album was released on March 9, 2016, through Ariola Japan.[2]
Background and release
The album consists of twenty-four of the best takes selected from Misia's Hoshizora Live concert series, which spans fifteen years and eight tours.[3] The compilation includes live recordings, some previously released and others not, of "Tsutsumikomu Yō ni...", "Hi no Ataru Basho", "Believe", "Aitakute Ima", "Shiawase o Forever", and from her latest studio album "Shiroi Kisetsu", "Nagareboshi", and "Anata ni Smile :)", among others.[4]
The album was released in standard edition and limited edition, the latter being packaged in digipak format and featuring different cover art.[5] The artwork for the album's standard and limited editions, which depicts a cluster of rabbits looking up to the moon, a nod to the moon rabbit folklore that inspired the most recent Hoshizora no Live tour subtitle, was designed by Paris-based Japanese designer Shinsuke Kawahara.[2]
