. When they are with a band, the duo is called "J&B". And when only two of them with acoustic guitars, "J to B".
Songs with only two acoustic guitars sound unaffected, and we can enjoy beautiful sound performed with two guitars. On the other hand, the most surprising song for me was 'Hush'
Reportedly, a popular guitar duo DEPAPEPE
formed a duo of two acoustic guitars because they were attracted byJ to B. 'Long Train Running'
is recorded with DEPAPEPE. 'RISA'
-The closing number. The original is a famous song of Tomohito Aoki
who passed away on Jun. 12, 2006- on his 49th birthday. (See Dec. 7, 2006)
From a kind of idea, I tried to copy this song with the piano. Then from a strange logical leap, a fact occured to me; the composer of this song departed from his life, but the song is given life when it's actually played. At that time, the first thing I recalled was this song is covered byJ to Bin this album. J to Bwould pass away at that point?
