  Self liner notes

  Yuji Ohno

  When I first started making, I started thinking about how to add Augusta-ness to my sound, but as I researched the songs of Fukumi and the songs of each Augusta artist. I decided to make it with Ohno Sound fully open, without thinking about something like Augusta.Because I thought that if the singing voice of everyone in Fukumi was added to what I made with Ohno Sound fully open, the Augusta-ness would naturally come out.I was convinced that it would be a good collaboration.

  Regarding the songs, I tried to make songs that were very decent, even though they had a sense of scale.
  Even if you arrange it, you don't get weird and make a straightforward arrangement from the front.That's the most important thing about this kind of song, and I don't think it's too weird.After that, I think I was conscious of the flow of excitement as the song progressed.

  What I struggled with was finding a key setting that would work for both men and women, taking into account the fact that so many members sing and the balance between the male and female members who participate is different.It was hard because I hadn't imagined it when I accepted to sing so many people!

  I think I made a wonderful song with Mr. Tsuneta and everyone in Fukumi, so please listen to it.

  Shintaro Tokita (Sukima Switch)

  I got a demo of Mr. Ohno's wonderful melody and a simple and esoteric theme of "I dare to sing the message that many people have said with my ears", and after collecting words for about two weeks, I wrote a stand at once ..I've included phrases related to Fukumimi members, so please look for them if you like!And I was able to spend a truly blissful time with Mr. Ohno, a great senior of Japan's leading composer.This period is a property.

  Self liner notes

  Masamuro Matsumuro

  This time, I collaborated with Masayoshi Yamazaki.I didn't expect such a day to come.Mr. Yama wrote wonderful lyrics for a song that I had never seen before.A fiddle with a somewhat Irish scent in the high-tension band sound played by Mr. Yama.I also played the acoustic guitar, but my arm hurts.That's how high the tension is.Please enjoy this brand new love song!

  Yamazaki Masayoshi

  The most important thing in collaborating is to bring out the individuality of each person, so I wanted to make sure that each person lives properly.Therefore, it was important that "chemistry" appears in the lyrics of the song written by Muro, not as it is, but as a fusion of Yamazaki (I, the butler) to some extent.

  Self liner notes

  Original Chitose

  The point that was particular about.
  I sang it carefully to express the rhythm that Yu-kun expresses and how to put the words in between as close as possible.

  What to listen to.
  I sang that I want the part of Laren Haiya Yaren Sayer to reach everyone's hearts with nostalgia.
  I feel that the phrases that are repeated many times warmly envelop my heart.

  Yu Saikai

  I wrote it because I wanted to make it a song like Japanese music like Western music, which doesn't matter where it is, and just keeps a little pleasant warmth.
  I feel a sense of discomfort and fit between Chitose's unique singing voice and SOULFUL sound.
  It was a project that made me feel the reward of songlight again by writing a song that I want my favorite voice to sing.
  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
  I hope it will reach various people.

• 4 Yuko Araki (MI-GU) × Sadayoshi Okamoto (COIL) "Kana Aishiteru"

  

  Self liner notes

  Yuko Araki (MI-GU)

  The world of lyrics and the atmosphere of my voice seem to be a mismatch, but I think that Sada's voice is combined with the arrangement of the songs to make one song.

  Sadayoshi Okamoto (COIL)

  The theme is minimal and stoic expression.Yuko didn't hit the drums, and I only played three strings when I put the guitar and bass together.It's non-groove and just repeats one melody.We sang with various feelings while suppressing emotions.I want you to listen to it as if you were watching an Impressionist painting.

• 5 Yohei Hamabata x Seiya Matsumuro "Rewrite"

  

  Self liner notes

  Hamabata Youhei

  When this collaboration was decided, the first thing I thought about was not the theme of "when the time I can't meet is over ...", but the song that makes the joy of "I finally met!" Explode. Was there.So, let's use that as the first word!I decided and started writing.I imagined that when the next Augusta camp could be held in front of everyone who came to see it as usual, everyone was playing while sharing the joy.
  While making me happy as a whole, I felt something like the momentary loneliness of saying goodbye to the time I couldn't meet ≒ the loneliness of graduating from something. I think it became such a song that redraws every day.I feel that Seiya Matsumuro's emotional vocals perfectly expressed it.
  The idea of ​​changing the chorus line and melody came out on the day of recording, and I think that the recording was very lively.

  Masamuro Matsumuro

  Based on the wonderful song written by Mr. Yohei, we made it while discussing various things.You can imagine the light and nostalgic sound of us singing while dancing (maybe we actually dance !?).I would like to hear from you in such an era, and I hope we can share our hopes for the future together!

• 6 FAITH x DedachiKenta "Unbreakable"

  Pre-delivery on Friday, December 12th
  https://VAP.lnk.to/Unbreakable

  

  Self liner notes

  FAITH

  It was the first time for us to collaborate by making a song together and recording it together, and I've always wanted to do it, so I packed everything I could think of.
  Although it was a short time, I made it while thinking about various things, such as devising lyrics and melody so that the interaction between men and women could be seen, and making the composition so that the goodness of each would come out.
  The voices of me and Ken-chan were quite opposite, and I felt that they had something they didn't have, but I think that was a good combination of them. (Akari)

  The highlight of Yajima Rei's listening is "guitar solo"!
  This time, when we collaborated with other artists for the first time and wondered what our individuality was, we thought that W Ray's twin guitar was one of our strengths, so we put in the most rocky harmony guitar solo!
  There are lots of exciting points through one song, so please enjoy listening to it many times! (Yajima)

  A song that pushes the interaction part with twin vocals forward so that the goodness of both singers of completely different styles, Akari and Kenta, will come out.
  I thought a lot about how to combine the chilly electronic sound of 2020 with the FAITH band sound.
  In the first half of the song, I tried not to put in a lot of band-like sounds in order to hear Kenta's shoulderless but powerful singing voice and Akari's relaxed voice.
  From the second half, I firmly incorporated live instruments such as live drums, live bass, and twin guitar solos, so I think it was a good finish as a collaboration song between a singer and a band. (Ray Cassner)

  For the first time in this recording, I tried the slap of the bass, so please listen to it! (2A!)
  And this song has a beautiful harmony with a lot of Akari's voices overlapping! (Especially 2B!) (Fujiko)

  The highlight of Le Cameranson's listening is the drum fill (phrase) where the song and the instrument come out before the chorus and at the end of the song!
  You can use the phrases you have thought of in advance as they are, or you can use the effect cymbals that you had at the time of Rec to try various patterns and include phrases that you have tried and errored.
  With hip-hop in mind for the sound and basic beats, I did something interesting that FAITH wouldn't do much. (Luka)

  Dedachi Kenta

  In Unbreakable, I think FAITH, myself, and KOSEN's characters overlapped comfortably.Everyone has their own unique style, so at first I couldn't imagine what I could do, but I think I've created a new style of song that neither FAITH nor I have tried yet. KOSEN-san's sound production that has the energy of FAITH but has my chill vibe and makes it all stand out.It's the best. I hope you like it!

• 7 Tomoyuki Nagasawa x Yosuke Sato x Takahiro Shibata (Wasureranneyo) "Wooden song"

  

  Self liner notes

  Tomoyuki Nagasawa

  "Ki no Uta" is a song written and composed by Tomoyuki Nagasawa, produced, performed and mixed by Yosuke Sato, and sung by Takahiro Shibata (Wasureranneyo).

  The song was created with the image of a place where people's hearts come together.
  A "tree" is an environment where people like us can make music, places where they can perform, opportunities, and places where people who listen to it gather.
  I think it applies not only to music, but to all the places that many people have created with their thoughts and dreams.
  Someone who will spend a moment of life there.
  The song is a wish to nurture that sukima.
  Mr. Hiroshi made it into a comfortable middle-tempo guitar rock, and Mr. Shibata put on a beautiful vocal that pierces through.
  I'm sure I was able to express each "tree".

  I think we all enjoyed making it, so we hope you enjoy listening to it.
  And I pray that the "tree" that you want to grow will grow big and big, based on your wishes and hopes.

  Yosuke Sato

  I think the highlight of this song is the world view of poetry and the emotional song.
  The lyrics that express self-confidence and kindness and the powerful songs are very compatible, so they sound comfortable.
  Regarding the arrangement, can you do it well when you get the song?I didn't think so, but when I first started, I was able to arrange it naturally.
  Moreover, Yuko Araki participated in the drums and gave us wonderful drumming and ideas.
  Thanks to that, I think I finished the arrangement without worrying about it.
  Please listen to it!

  Takahiro Shibata (Don't forget)

  I didn't think deeply, I didn't sing again and again, and I sang as my feelings moved.
  Mr. Nagasawa's tentative song was so good (laughs) that I couldn't help tracing it.

• 8 Kyoko x Yuji Ohno "Fire Treasure" Cover

  

  Self liner notes

  apricot

  First of all, I was very happy to be able to do the famous song "Fire Treasure" with Professor Ohno.
  It's great that the teacher prepared a new pattern B with a ballad-like chord feeling than the original arrangement pattern A!Big!Great impression.
  The two of us went into the studio and made eye contact when we started singing!I did it!death.

  Yuji Ohno

  Among Lupine III's songs, I asked Kyoko to sing this song that I have been playing for a long time, so I lowered the tempo and made it a ballad so that Kyoko could sing as freely as possible. Make a sukima and record one shot.It worked!This time, I tried to make it by adding Rhodes (electric piano) by dubbing to what was recorded with vocals and piano for the first time.Kyoko was happy to sing perfectly!This is Hanamaru! !!

• 9 Motohiro Hata x Sukima Switch "Winter is just around the corner!"

  

  Self liner notes

  Motohiro Hata

  The point I was particular about was how to make "summer" into "winter".
  I hope you can feel "winter" to your heart's content.
  Everyone, please listen.

  SUKIMA SWITCH

  [Takuya Ohashi]
  I feel like I was able to go somewhere between the parody and the seriousness.Don't miss Shinta-kun's rap!I think we have created a wonderful winter song that will color this winter.

  [Shintaro Tokita]
  After all it is the difference in lyrics from the original song "Summer is about to come!".In addition, this time I put in a lot of chorus like Christmas, and I will mention the rap for the time being.
  I think it's interesting that the three of us completed all the arrangements that transcended the times and seasons by borrowing some of the performances of the original songs, and the editing of the sounds.
