Yuming is an amazing person. Tinpan Alley with a back is also amazing.
It was a dark folk song until Yuming came out.
I think it was when I was in high school, until then, I used to listen to folk songs, and the guitar chords were full of minor ones. Listen and sing for a while… So, when I got tired of folk songs, it was rock and roll. Like Carroll. Among them, I think it was around the same time that Eikichi Yazawa made his solo debut, but Yuming came out.
Yuming is fashionable and bright.
The first was a song called Hikokigumo, and I think I was about 17 or 18 years old, but at first it was Ryoko Moriyama’s way of saying it again, but when I listened to the song, it didn’t look like Ryoko Moriyama. Unique songs are very attractive with lyrics and melodies. Also, the lyrics are good. Somehow, she suddenly felt like she was fashionable, urban, fairy tale, and suddenly the world became brighter. Even the guitar chords go from minor to major. I’m already surprised. So, I learned Yumi Arai little by little by imitating her guitar chords. At the same time, I felt like I was going through puberty. As for Western music, I listened to the sounds of the West Coast, but it was already dark in the era of the Beatles and Stones, and her rock was in the era of hard rock, and she was loud and a little hard to hear. , West Coast.
The backing band was Tin Pan Alley
So, when Yuming’s album came out, the backing band around that time was amazing. Caramel Mama and Tin Pan Alley are names that change, but I think they’re the same band, but for some reason, Tatsuo Hayashi, Shigeru Suzuki, and Haruomi Hosono are all members and famous studio musicians, but I don’t know Masataka Matsutoya. But Masataka Matsutoya is the leader. I thought it would make a stylish sound, but Takuro Yoshida was talking about the old days on the radio, and he said that if his backing band was Tin Pan Alley, he would have sold more records. I was doing it, but I wonder if that’s right. That’s how I liked the backing band.
Cobalt hour was nice.
Starting with Cobalt Hour, getting married, Koujaku, and after that, I haven’t heard much about it, but you’ve released a lot of good albums. Yuming said something about it, but he didn’t feel like singing and wanted to make his debut as a composer. So, but I ended up singing, but it may have been a kind of style of cool musicians at that time.
The concert is getting more and more extreme.
Also, if it sells as much as Yuming, the royalty income will be amazing. Maybe he’s somehow getting more and more extreme in concerts. You feel like you are spending money. After all, is it a feeling of gratitude to the fans, or is it just her hobby, I think it’s hard to do a water show in the hall and fly in the sky.
