Description
[CITY POP on VINYL item! ] An analog version of the super-famous song "Natsu no Kimagure" that could go down in the history of pop music! The mellow INTRO that grabs your heart in an instant, and the chorus that makes you want to sing along is the best! Janet Kay's "Lovin' You"-like cute yet eccentric singing voice is attractive!
The 1st 7 inch "Cheek time" was praised by DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite, who is also the author of "Wamono A to Z Japanese Groove Disc Guide", and aired by Ryohei Matsunaga in the radio program "MUSIC FLAG". The long-awaited 2nd 7-inch song "Looking at the same moon/Natsu nandesu (sweltering Dub Mix)" was selected by KH aka Katsunori Hiraiwa (HF International) as number one on the Jetset records DJ chart on April 8, 2021 Bagus! The third 7-inch release! The mix and mastering is e-mura, who also handles mixes for asuka ando and others. Happy End ~CITY POP~Shibuya-kei~In addition to the influence and sympathy of the current CITY POP, because we could not experience it in real time, we interpreted and expressed the genre categorization that the era redefined the music of the pioneers with our own sensibility. Bagus! The music of a new generation that is both fresh and predicts latent needs. Furthermore, there is no small difficulty, and it also has popular popularity that flows in the tea room. It's pop like a popular song, but like Yuming's voice, it has a unique singing voice that pierces the heart. LOVERS ROCK. In a non-reggae context, it was introduced by Hiroshi Fujiwara, Yasuharu Konishi, Toru Hashimoto, etc., and featured in RELAX magazine in the early 2000s. For those who were exposed to mellow music at that time, LOVERS ROCK may have a sense of late. But that's like saying, "Our predecessors were already doing it," and disliking cero's music without listening to it. Even though I was playing LOVERS ROCK in the same way, I didn't know that time in the early 2000s, but I touched it with a blank feeling, and the music of Bagus! It sounds fresh to listeners. In the early 2000s, at that time, I feel that "how close to the original?" On the other hand, now (just like asuka ando), after digesting the conventional LOVERS ROCK, a new form of music that can be said to be NEO LOVERS ROCK fits the atmosphere of the times. Isn't Bagus! a band that is trying to lead NEO LOVERS ROCK that reflects that "current air"? LOVERS ROCK style but physical band sound like a rock band. Also, Makoto Konishi's guitar insists like that of a rock band, but it harmonizes without discomfort and contributes to the band's individuality, not for self-satisfaction. And it leads to depth that makes you want to listen again and again. He may not want to admit it, but I think Bagus! can be seen as a lineage of Shibuya-kei. Influenced by the methodology of sampling music, and based on FUNK/SOUL/ACID JAZZ/CLUB JAZZ/Neo Acoustic, etc., Shibuya-kei created new music using the uniquely Japanese processing trade method, then Bagus. Could it be said that ! used that technique and placed its theme in LOVERS ROCK? 1st 7 inch "Cheek Time" is a relatively orthodox LOVERS ROCK. The 2nd song "I'm looking at the same moon" is an innovative urban and AOR-like LOVERS ROCK that easily surpasses the absolute representative song 1st, and is a mellow tune that will reach the hearts of city pop listeners. The long-awaited third work follows the same line as the second work, and is a super masterpiece that could go down in popular song history. A mellow intro that grabs your heart the moment you drop the needle. Furthermore, the part of the chorus, “Hoshi no Furu~” makes me want to hum it over and over again. Not only in places like live houses and clubs with enthusiastic and active music fans, but also on cable, radio, TV, etc., there is no sense of discomfort. This is a super masterpiece that has the potential to go down in the history of pop music! In addition, Hiroaki Shirakawa, who is in charge of writing the lyrics, wrote the lyrics for this album, such as the expression, ``The traces of your long fingers gently parting my hair become the staff notation.'' As a family, his talent blossomed. The coupling song "Anata" is a masterpiece of EVERYBODY LOVES that makes you feel Janet Kay's "Lovin' You". KEY. Atsuko Sumino takes the VOCAL, and the cute yet eccentric singing voice that makes you think of Illia, and the tasteful retro-feeling track match exquisitely, and it's super mellow!
