Takuma Nagatsuka sings some character songs and appears in many live events such as the “Idolmaster SideM” and “KING OF PRISM” series. The label officials saw his staging there, and it was decided that he would make his debut as an artist from Nippon Columbia (* 1). Therefore, his 1st EP, “dance with me,” contains five songs centered on dance music that makes use of the performance power that Nagatsuka has cultivated.
The title song “Dance with me” is for Anison and PA-NON, which provides songs to K-POP and J-POP artists, and ha-, which deals with famous childcare artists such as Takashi Deguchi and Arashi and King & Prince. J is in charge of songwriting (haj is also in charge of arrangement). A dance tune that raises the voltage with the explosive chorus from the beginning signals the party’s beginning. It is a song that sings a breathtaking up-tempo song with a lot of groove feeling, and Nagatsuka’s expressive power that exudes a fantastic sex appeal shines. In addition, the MV released on YouTube shows a gorgeous and sharp dance that catches the eye. The debut EP of artist Takuma Nagatsuka is a responsive work that brings out his unknown charm, such as “Spiral Truth,” which challenged full-scale rap, and “Broken Memories,” a broken heart song with full English lyrics. Became.
Yuma Uchida, who has been a big success as a voice actor this year, such as “Jujutsu Kaisen” (TBS series) as Megumi Fushiguro and “Burning Kabaddi” (TV Tokyo and others) as Tatsuya Yoshi. At the same time, he actively worked as an artist. In January, he starred in “Phantom Doctor Ramune” (TOKYO MX, etc.) OP theme “SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE!” In April, “Burning Kabaddi” ED. The theme “Comin’Back” has been released as a single. Uchida, who has released some hit songs regardless of the genre with a transparent voice and overwhelming singing ability, has further evolved and released the album for the first time in two years.
The lead song “equal” provided by Chef Watanabe since the 1st single coupling song “BE MY BABY” is a refreshing dance number created with the concept of the symbol “=” that connects Uchida and “Kimi.” By three composers (DJ first / DENZIL “DR” REMEDIOS / Peter Tambakis), it is a genreless song that includes hip-hop elements. The MV consists of a scene where you sing happily with a back dancer in a world colored by blue sky and pastel colors, and a sharp dance scene where yellow costumes shine in monotone expresses pop and fantastic duality. In addition to the various facial expressions, the expression that delivers light to the listener with a relaxed singing voice and inspires powerfully is impressive.
GRANRODEO’s new song is one song that excites the anime “Baki the Grappler.”
GRANRODEO by KISHOW (Kisho Taniyama) and e-ZUKA (Masaaki Iizuka), who celebrated the 15th anniversary of their formation, sings the OP theme of the third part of the anime “Baki” series. A funky song that fuses rock and funk, with adrenaline released from the intro guitar riff. “Baki Hanma” depicts the main character, Baki Hanma, whose father is Yujiro Hanma, feared as “the strongest creature on earth” and challenges a fierce parent-child quarrel. “Treasure Pleasure” expresses the joy of being able to hit the accumulated power with all your heart while devoting yourself to a fierce battle.
KISHOW’s lustrous and sexy singing voice creates lightness in a stubborn sound that is hot in a good way. Kai Asakura, a mixed martial artist and famous as a YouTuber, also has an impressive MV that shows a lively movement to the hot performance of GRANRODEO. As KISHOW says, “I imagined a place where fighting is joy and knowledge!” (* 2), only the strong man who has mastered the path can reach it. It is a song that you can experience the ultimate joy similar to.
With the expressive power as a weapon, three groups continue to leap their artist activities. While highlighting dance, pop, hard rock, and their favorite genres, please check out each new album that gives you a new look.
