Hey guys!
This is my explanation of the new album...PIED PIPER...!!
It will be available on iTunes very soon....!!
-PIPD PIPER
It's the title track for the album. The title 'Pied Piper' came from the story; "The Piped Piper of Hamelin." The story took place in long time ago, whoever broke the promise was taken away by the magic (?) whistle…So what I wanted this album to mean that I'm going to take people to the better world with my rock'n' roll music! This album has rock'n' roll and alternative…but also it's got pop-music taste into it!
-NEW ANIMAL
When the intro was made, I was so sure that this track is going to be an awesome track! The theme of the track is "Going my way".
-NO SURRENDER
It's a rare track singing that 'I will bring you out from the dirty/tainted world' I just wanted to say it I guess. I can't wait to sing it at live!
-LAST HOLIDAY
I wrote this track in Osaka during the Japan tour and sang just one chorus then. It's a sad love song. When the world ends, are you going to come see me? This is the first time to try live cello and it was so fresh!
-TOKYO ZOMBI
It's an instrumental track. 2 guitars/drums/bass just played by themselves and it came out to be an interesting sound. The arrangement was exquisite…the title was a joke to TOKYO BAMBI but the joke helped the sound at last.
-ACROSS THE METROPOLIS
This is the oldest track in the album. I think we recorded the demo without lyrics 3 years ago…Mr. Manabe just played it and that was it. It was already how it is now. And my guitar goes one octave under his guitar. It's about 'Alternative music'.
-PURPLE APPLE
This is 'the pillows like' track next to PIED PIPER; 'The hyposthenia alternative song'. But it also rock'n' roll and the point of the song is the chorus by DOHATSUTEN!
-TOKYO BAMBI
It was released as a single but I found out that it fits better in the album. The Japanese Ska group 'TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA' horn sets off the alternative funk! I was kind of worried that this track might stand out in the album but the horn made the guitar shined it out!
-LADYBIRD GIRL
It's an obvious love song that everybody can understand. I made it LA during the last tour in US. I thought it will more American but it came out just like the pillows sound…lol
-THAT'S WONDERFUL WORLD
This track is for this artist 'HERMIT' who is in my label DELICIOUS LABEL. He has been best friend since 13 years old and taught me rock. When we fist came to Tokyo, we lived in the same apartment. We were young and silly and full of rock'n' roll….it was just awesome!
-POISON ROCK'N'ROLL
It was made during recording and we did a little session and recorded right away. I can decide things that might hurt my pride easily but not for the other staff. I am just being hypocrite. I am singing "I decided that I'm taking everybody" but at the same time I am meaning, "I'm taking everybody but you (being hypocrite)!" This is just a mean rock'n'roll track. I wish you understand my feeling…
Totally, it has 11 tracks but only 40 minutes long. The guitar sound is just great and I am so happy about it…cannot wait for the tour…!!!
