Now

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Last time I talked about making a video to go with my original song, and this time I’d like to report that I made a video again.

I made an image video for the song “Now”. This is the 6th song on my original album “Moon”.
The content of the lyrics is a dubious and fantastical one, about a man and a woman riding a boat on an empty lake, wishing to go as far away as possible. The word “Now” has always bothered me, and humans have no choice but to live in the”Now”, from which we look to the future and look back on the past.

When I was young, the moment I created a song, it was already a thing of the past, so the unfinished song remained in my head, and I felt like my mind could only see the past. I suffered a lot. I created this song called “Now” in order to somehow relieve this suffering.

This is a difficult topic, but I wanted to talk about the video production for the song “Now”. The lake that appears in the lyrics of this song “Now” is not located nearby, so I rented a boat on a nearby pond to shoot. (Laughs) It was mid-summer afternoon, and the sun was shining so brightly on the boat that it was so hot that I thought I was going to get heatstroke, and at the same time, it was a humid and humid day that is unique to Japan.

It was so hot that my rented boat was the only one floating in the pond, and I was able to take photos freely in the hot sun. The water in the pond is green, so the video looks like something out of the famous movie “Apocalypse Now”, which is quite suspicious.

Would you like to watch this video? And why don’t you listen to the song “Now”? And why don’t you go somewhere far away with me? This time, the text turned out to be quite fantastical. It’s autumn of art. (lol)

mwah!mwah!mwah!

How is everyone! ? Well, what I want to talk about this time is that I created a new video. I can’t ask a professional because I don’t have money, but I managed to create it by myself. I made a promotional video for my original song “mwah!mwah!mwah!”.

This time I would like to talk about the title of this song “mwah!mwah!mwah!”.

The Japanese lyrics say “chu!chu!chu!” and the sound that Japanese make when kissing their cheek lightly is described as”chu!chu!chu!”. I was worried about how to translate this” chu!chu!chu!” into a foreign language. After doing some research, I learned that in foreign countries, light kisses are expressed using the onomatopoeic word”mwah!mwah!mwah!”, so I named the song “mwah!mwah!mwah!”.

However, in this song, not only the onomatopoeia “chu!chu!chu!” but also the onomatopoeia “chulu!chulu!chulu!” This “chulu!chulu!chulu!” is used by Japanese people when they eat noodles. Lol 　The essence of my song is to enjoy the rhyme of”chu!chu!chu!” and “chulu!chulu!chulu!” .”mwah!mwah!mwah!” doesn’t rhyme.

So, “mwah!mwah!mwah!” doesn’t convey the fun of what I’m singing, but if you watch the video, you’ll understand what I wanted to sing to some extent.

Why don’t you take a look at the video? I think you don’t understand the lyrics, but the song is good. I look forward to talking with you about the differences in onomatopoeia in different countries.

ON MY WAY BACK HOME AFTER WORK

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? It’s midsummer in Japan now. I want to drink a cold beer right now, but I’m going to put up with it a little and try to write this blog.

Two times ago, I reported that I created an album titled “Tonight”, and this time I’ve completed an album titled “ON MY WAY BACK HOME AFTER WORK”! Amazing in a short time! You may think that, but in fact, I was stuck at home due to the corona restrictions, so I used that time to put together these songs.

This album is an unprecedented and difficult work, and it may be better to say that it is a jazz song rather than a pop song. There is a lot of tension. smile

There are 9 songs in total, and each song is made in a different way, but I would like to focus on the title song of this time, “ON MY WAY BACK HOME AFTER WORK”. This song is about the frustration of my life, and the lyrics are about making a man cry. You can think of this crying man as me.

Is it okay for a grown man to shed so many tears?
It’s fine! Whether you’re an adult or a child, I think it’s best for human beings to cry when they want to cry. Everyone has times when they want to cry.

Would you like to cry with me while listening to this song? You won’t be able to stop crying. Your tears won’t stop so much that they will become rivers, go down mountains, and eventually become seas. That’s why this song “ON MY WAY BACK HOME AFTER WORK” is a sad song. Please listen!

I haven’t sold it yet. smile

sweltering night

Hello everybody. It has been a while. I wonder if there are people reading this blog, but I will proceed without worrying about it. smile

As if the corona turmoil is coming to an end, a large number of foreign tourists have been pouring into Japan recently. I’ve covered this topic many times, but sometimes foreigners who come to Japan, especially those who come to Tokyo this summer, are very surprised.

It means that the weather in Tokyo is unreasonably hot. Not only is the temperature high, but the humidity is also high, and the stagnant air between Tokyo’s buildings is hell on earth. Lol In Japan, these hot and humid nights are called sweltering nights. And my original song also has the same song, “Nettaiya”.

This time, I started streaming distribution of the album “MOON” containing this “sweltering night”. I think you can feel how hot and uncomfortable the tropical nights in Japan are. And to commemorate the streaming distribution, I also made a video of “Nettaiya”. I’m wearing a Japanese fox mask and playing the guitar. lol　Instead of using a pick to play the guitar, I tried using a rice scoop that Japanese people use when serving rice. LOL Like in this video, would you like to sit on your knees with me and sing “Nettaiya”?

A fox ghost may appear in your hotel room in Japan! No, you may have just seen an apparition when you were sleep deprived due to the excessive heat of summer nights in Japan.

For the time being, all 10 songs of the album “MOON” have started streaming! Please listen to it!

tonight

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted. It’s the rainy season in Japan now, and it’s raining outside today. With the El Niño phenomenon occurring off the coast of Peru this year, Japan may have a cool summer this year.

Japan may get cold, but this topic is very hot. After a long time, I created a new musical work. The title of this work is “Tonight”. Cool!

In fact, this work is a band version of songs that only came with guitar and piano singing. It contains 10 songs, and there are still two works in the same format. Assuming that the remaining two works will be released someday, I would like to introduce this work called “Tonight”.

The idea behind the song was all conceived in my early twenties, and it took decades of musing in my head to finally bring it to the surface. So it’s not a light thing that I came up with in a few days, but a heavy one. The work “Tonight” is a collection of heavy songs with lyrics that are as bright as possible.

I live in Japanese, so I sing in Japanese, but even if you don’t understand Japanese, you’ll be excited to hear it. Would you like to sing a Japanese song together? If you don’t know what I’m singing, please email me. I will teach you!

Ah! However, this work has only been made as an independent CD and has not been uploaded on the web! It’s a pity that we can’t share this new release with you. What should I do?

Well, I don’t think there are many people who are interested in my music, and I’m not in a rush to have people listen to it on streaming services, so please be patient. lol: You may be able to hear it somewhere someday. Or if you send me an email, I will send the music data.

Anyway, a new work called “Tonight” was completed! Happy When I die, let’s go to the afterlife with these songs. smile
