Yu Takahashi

I like band. Because arrangement and the personality that there is not appear in people of the support. Therefore I introduced a band so far. But there is a one of the favorite singer other than band. It is positive if I express the person with a word.

 

It is Yu Takahashi today that I introduce. I like “Zettyouwaima”（絶頂は今） in his song. I think that it is the best music in his song. This music begin only voice and a guitar arpeggio. Therefore a voice was emphasized and was gravitate to music for an instant. And the lyrics, oneself do not have positive thinking that it is all right as now and thinks to enjoy now if you hear this song. My friend tell me and I knew Yu Takahashi when I was negative. Then I listen to his music when I was depressed.

 

He was bullied for the childhood period. I think that he has a painful experience, therefore he can wrote a good lyrics. He has a very big voice, because he is from Tohoku. There were few people in Tohoku, he went to the forest and was sing a song in a big voice in forest. He said that the experience contributed to his volume.

Fujifabric

Some people don't sing well, but they still make attractive music. It was especially good at ballad song. My friend was so. I felt all the songs which he sang were attractive. It is such a band that I will introduce.

Today I will introduce “Fujifabric”. They formed in 2000. “Fujifabric” was loved by many artists. Many artists recognized their talent. The name of the vocalist of this band is Masahiko Shimura. Sometimes his singing resembles Tamio Okuda. He began to make music because he was attracted by Tamio Okuda and formed a band. It is a ballad to be good at him.

Next, I will introduce the representative music of “Fujifabric”. The title is “Wakamono no subete”（若者のすべて）. This music was used in a drama called the “Summer Nude. Music and words are by Masahiko Shimura. This music expresses emptiness and painfulness after the summer ends and the last fireworks display is over. It's sentimental. This music has a lot of lyrics that make us think about some kind of end. However, last of the music   that there is a phrase which others some hope. I think that this song has a happy ending. I think Shimura's singing skill is about like mine. But he has something that attracts people. He had so much talent, but he died on December 24, 2009.

New Fujifabric

After Masahiko Shimura died, they changed the members and continued the band as “Fujifabric”. Refreshing music increased after Masahiko Shimura died. Both versions of “Fujifabric” are good, but I like “Fujifabric” with Masahiko Shimura. Please listen to it if you can.

 

Unicorn

Old people have the composure of adults. They give us peace of mind. For example, their voice, appearance and behavior are calm. When we are young, most people are restless. But I think that old people how had trouble many time and have made efforts. Therefore they give peace of mind to everybody.

I'll introduce a band that has the composure of an adult. The band is "Unicorn". "Unicorn" is a unique band. Everyone is a vocalist in the band, but the main vocalist is decided. The main vocalist is in the middle of the picture above. He is wearing the blue t-shirt. His name is Tamio Okuda. He is the most popular menver of this band. I think that the reason is his calm voice and his character. His personality comes out in his voice. Next is the lead guitarist who is wearing the red t-shirt. His name is Isamu Teshima. His nickname  Tesshi. His voice is manly and his guitar is cool. He likes tapping. The bass player is in the yellow t-shirt. His name is Kazushi Horiuchi. He has a very soft voice. He sings ballads a lot. Drummer is in the green t-shirt. His name is Koichi Kawanishi. His songs have characteristic difference. The man in the white t-shirt is the key board player. His voice is like Tamio Okuda. I sometimes mistake for Tamio Okuda.
Tamio Okuda have an impact on various artist, such as Gen Hosino and "Fujifabric". "Fujifabric" became the band that reason is Tamio Okuda. Tamio Okuda is such a great artist.

"Unicorn" broke up in 1993, but they re-formed in 2009. The songs before they broke up are better than the songs after they re-formed, because "Unicorn" songs have become a little sloppy. But their performance power has improved very much. Please listen to "Unicorn" music.
