Shinji Tanimura

Shinji Tanimura's first album of songs chosen by his fans has a sleeve by Tetsuo Hara, who drew him as one of the men from his manga.

On 19 March 2008, Shinji Tanimura released Otogaeshi, Request Live Album, The Genepro (音帰し リクエストライヴ・アルバム~Theゲネプロ~) on avex io, his first album built from fans’ requests, selected from 266 suggested songs and recorded in the studio in front of 100 people. Its 13 tracks run from “チャンピオン” to “忘れないで”, including “昴” and “サライ”, with Koji Horiuchi and Toru Yazawa, of Alice, as guests on “明日への讃歌”. The sleeve is a new drawing by Tetsuo Hara, drawn in gold linework. Hara explained that he did not want a mere likeness, but a Tanimura drawn as one of the “漢” of his manga.
