Ensemble Planeta

[Jenny A]

Ensemble Planeta (アンサンブル プラネタ), An A Capella All-female group from Japan. They were formed by Nahoko Kakiage who apparently is credited with popularizing CC in Japan.
I would compare them to All Angels and Libera.

Current Members:
Hanae Tomaru – Soprano
Kazuyo Kitazume – Mezzo Soprano
Misako Ito – Soprano
Akiko Tano – Mezzo Soprano


Previous Members:
Tateishi Rei (立石玲) - Soprano, left in 2002
Michiko Takahashi (高橋美千子) - Soprano, left in 2006
Etsuko Murata (村田悦子) - Alto, left in 2007
Yoshiko Ikeshiro (池城淑子) – Soprano, left in 2009

I'm sure several of you have seen them on facebook by now but I want to 'document' them, i guess you could say, here on the forum.
I also wanted to make an organized list of their discography (I'm an obsessive list maker sometimes )
The best place to find their CDs seems to be www.cdjapan.co.jp (sadly, most are out of print). Although I did manage to find two of their albums on ebay.

[John]

Thank you again, Jenny.
I saw your facebook posts just before I left for work yesterday and somehow knew that I was going to love them. It was a long day but the anticipation of what I was going to hear later kept me going through to the evening. I wasn't disappointed.

Interesting that both the albums available on ebay are listed as "out of print" on CD Japan. I don't suppose you will be surprised to hear that ebay now has one less copy of 'Choral' on offer.
There are also quite a lot listed on Amazon Marketplace, but mostly at ridiculous prices; CD Japan is cheaper.

They seem to have been going for years, but this is the first I have heard of them. I wonder how many more treasures Japan holds, waiting to be discovered.

[Jenny A]

I had never heard of them before either. I stumbled on a forum that had them listed with a bunch of other Japanese mainstream artists. They seemed really out-of-place...

Well, I managed to find audio clips for all albums but one thanks to the Amazon Japan!!
Follow the link, Scroll down the page, click on " 試聴する " next to the track list.
I really wish us westerners could shop there but I'm not sure if they ship international. I order sometimes from the UK Amazon if I can get a CD for less there...

That makes two less Choral CDs on ebay.

Looks like you can order from Amazon Japan if you don't mind paying $25 for shipping and handling (it's even more to Europe )

[Jenny A]

I just got my copy of Choral in the mail
It got here much faster than i expected!


*Edit: This album is so beautiful!! Quality vocals and arrangements! I'm only through to track 7, first time through. Very soothing.

[John]

Wow, that's quick!
Although it's over a week since I ordered mine, it was only dispatched two days ago so I think I still have quite a wait.
Glad to hear it will be worth it.

[John]

I saw Largo on sale on ebay about three weeks ago and had no hesitation in ordering it. It arrived last week.

It's a beautiful collection of classical themes and folk songs presented in a way I have never heard them before.

Most of the songs are sung in various European languages (English, French, German, Latin, Russian) and I think a couple are in Japanese. To be honest though, it hardly matters what the words are, as they are secondary to the wonderful harmonies.

I would say that this is my favourite so far of my slowly growing Ensemble Planeta and Aura collection.

Which one do you think is better?Aura or Ensemble Planēta?I have all collections of both groups.

BTW, I connected N.Kakiage(the producer of EP) as my friend on Facebook.

[zyk2222]

EP released their 9th album named アヴェ・マリア 祈りのハーモニー( Ave Maria/ The Harmony of Prayer) several months ago.Due to the limited publication budget, it seems Pony Canyon has discontinued this album, and sadly the introduction webpage of this album is not availably currently. Fortunately, I got this piece about 2months ago and found there was only one new track: あら野のはてに( Angels I have heard on high). The remainder was selected from the previously released albums.So totally a collection.

I have to point out that both All Angels and Libera are not comparable to Ensemble Planēta because they are simply NOT a cappella groups.

AURA is the only comparable one(similar scale and similar arrangement).

Ensemble Planeta (アンサンブル プラネタ), An A Capella All-female group from Japan. They were formed by Nahoko Kakiage who apparently is credited with popularizing CC in Japan.
I would compare them to All Angels and Libera.

Yes, I agree. My only excuse is that at the time of writing everything above, I didn't know of AURA's existence. I felt that i had to compare Ensemble Planeta to more well-know CC artists when introducing them on the site. There's probably a better artist i could have used at the time.
