こんにちは！
夏真っ盛りですが皆様体調の方は如何でしょうか？
私の幼少期は夏といえど夕立があり夜は涼しくなっていたのですが
最近は夕立もなく一日中灼熱の日々が続き、オーディオルームに引きこもりたくなる毎日です。
とてもありがたい事に国内だけにとどまらず世界中からご注文を頂くことができました。
開発者の想いとレコードに刻まれた想いを深く引き出すことが出来る製品です。
お楽しみいただけた際は感想の方をお問い合わせや代理店、
各国ディストリビューターを通して送って頂けますと開発者の励みになりますので幸いです。
特に注目していただきたいのは冴鉑-KOHAKUの注目ポイントになります
ダイヤモンドカンチレバー一体型の部分が鮮明にわかるアップ写真です。
一体型を証明する美しい形状が冴鉑の鮮烈な再生能力に関わっております。
8月後半に某雑誌にて冴鉑-KOHAKUの試聴記事が掲載される予定です。
私も取材に参加したのですがとても緊張する中、IKEDAトーンアーム以外でも
過大評価ではなく確かに冴鉑-KOHAKUの魅力が表現され、レコードの持つ魅力を引き出しておりました。
また発売されましたら当社お知らせにてご連絡いたしますので楽しみにしていただけたらと思います。
それでは暑い日が続きますが皆様くれぐれも体調には気をつけて
素敵なアナログオーディオライフをお過ごしください。

Hello from IKEDA Sound Labs!
We hope this message finds you well in the midst of this intense summer heat.
When I was a child, summer evenings often brought cooling showers that made the nights more bearable—but lately, those refreshing downpours seem to have vanished, leaving us with scorching days that make me want to retreat into the listening room and stay there.
We’re incredibly grateful to share that our newly released MC cartridge, KOHAKU – featuring an integrated diamond cantilever, has received orders not only from Japan but from across the globe.
This model embodies the deep passion of its developer and draws out the heartfelt expressions etched into every record groove.
If KOHAKU brings you joy, we would be truly honored to receive your impressions—whether through our contact form, local distributors, or your regional dealers. Your feedback means the world to us and especially encourages the cartridge builder herself.
We've just added new close-up photos to KOHAKU’s product page.
In particular, we invite you to take a look at the stunningly clear image of the integrated diamond cantilever section—a key visual highlight that showcases the structural beauty and technical precision behind KOHAKU’s exceptional playback ability.
Later in August, a well-known audio magazine will be featuring a listening review of KOHAKU.
I took part in the interview myself—nervously!—but was thrilled to see KOHAKU’s sonic qualities recognized and appreciated, even when paired with tonearms other than IKEDA’s own. The article highlights how this cartridge reveals the full emotional power embedded in vinyl recordings.
We’ll be sure to share more information about the article on our website as soon as it’s published—please stay tuned.
Until then, we hope you stay safe and well through this hot season,
and wish you many beautiful moments with your analog audio system.
Sincerely,
Web Editor, IKEDA Sound Labs.
