Citylights Dandy/　Toshiki Kadomatsu

(1)

カテゴリ： Favorite, recommendation

(See Aug. 11, 2010 first)
Toshiki Kadomatsu 's latest album described as "Summer 4 Rhythm part2".
For 29 years in his career, he has written various songs about "city" and "night" .
They are regarded as byword of Kadomatsu as much as "sea, sky and resort", the main theme of " Summer 4 Rhythm ".
At the beginning of his career, the producer back then tried to promote him as a star of city-pops.
He repelled such a movement, though -and that turned into a driving force of his challenge.
This time, "4 rhythm" are-
Drums: Tom Tamada
Hideki Matsubara
Guitar: Tsuyoshi Kon (See Sep. 1, 2008)
Keyboards: Toshiyuki Mori (See Mar. 17, 2008)
All the members except for Tamada are old and trusted members of Kadomatsu's back-up band.
Tamada is the only one of the four who is in his thirties.
Kadomatsu was looking for musicians in younger generation with talent.
Mori and Shingo Kobayashi (See Mar. 17, 2008) introduced Tamada to Kadomatsu, and Tamada took part in Kadomatsu's former album " No Turns ".

Later, blu-ray discs of " Citylights Dandy " were on sale.
Kadomatsu says that the sound is much better.
motion pictures of night views edited by Kadomatsu are included .
He explained why he made a release of blu-ray version at a concert in Osaka:
Recently, entertainment is under serious recession.
One of the problems is illegal copy, but blu-ray cannot be copied.
Besides, a blu-ray disc can include various data sources -music, motion pictures, and so on.

It is possible that blu-ray can connect TV and Internet, with diversity of information blu-ray can include.
It seems that in his way, he is concerned about the situation of entertainment -and trying to cause a new movement.
However, even without motion pictures on blu-ray, we would see various views of "city" and "night" as we listen to the music:
" Hot Lazy Night " -cool night bleeze is coming into a dark room after a hot and humid day in summer,
" Fly By Night " -as shown by the title,
" La Carnaval " -the only song with Latin flavor; a city in Brazil.
According to Kadomatsu, his father wished to immigrate to Brazil when he was young, but it didn't come true due to opposition from his family.
The son Kadomatsu wrote this song, thinking of Father.
However, Kadomatsu might not have been here if his father had immigrated to Brazil -Kadomatsu said on stage.
The closing number " See You Again " might have been written in a state of mind like " Yoru no semi " (a cicada shrilling at night) in " No Turns "...
