In this 30th anniversary year of S.L.T., they made a release of a new single onJune 27-" Vox Humana
". The title means " human voice
" in Latin. Chikuzen Sato
talked on his radio program that he was inspired by an album of Kenny Loggins with the same title, and wrote this song
. Members of S.L.T. mention thatthis song is about affection all over the world and around ourselves, and we need to express it actively. Affection is expressed by talking to somebody, voicing opinions and thoughts and feeling, listening to others... Anytime when we need to change and improve our lives, the first step is to say aloud what we need or want. We also need to voice in order to help and encourage people having trouble. Music is a mixture of African sound which is often used in S.L.T.'s music, and electronic sound.
They also made a release of a music video of this song.
A dancer Yasutake Shimaji
performed impromptu in this motion picture. Shimaji says thathe felt this song sounds encouraging, and reflected "words" and "voice" made by his body that he felt while he was under recuperation after injury. On shooting, he expressed the sense of his body he felt in the studio, without thinking. He didn't think of dancing in accordance with words and music of this song. He says that he could improvise dance and motion like this, because this song " Vox Humana
" is genuine music and song of S.L.T. that listeners can empathize with.
