Description in Japanese

TMG II/ TMG (TAK MATSUMOTO GROUP)

日米を代表するROCK HEROたちが再び集結! メロディアスでヘビィなサウンドと変わらぬスピリットを携えたTMG 2ndアルバムが遂に完成! 2024年3月、20年ぶりにオリジナルメンバーでの再始動を発表したTMG (Tak Matsumoto Group)。これまで再始動や新作リリースを熱望する声は絶えることがなかったが、20年ぶりの活動再開のニュースは日本の音楽シーンに大きな衝撃をもたらした。その興奮冷めやらぬ4月には、全国ツアー＜TMG LIVE 2024 -Still Dodging The Bullet-＞の詳細が発表。そしてついに、ニューアルバムがリリース! 前作から20年ぶりとなる新作でも、松本のソリッドかつ繊細なギタープレイはもちろんのこと、メロディアスな旋律をエモーショナルに歌い上げるエリック・マーティンのボーカルと、楽曲をアグレッシブに盛り立てるジャック・ブレイズのベース&ボーカルは健在。メンバーそれぞれが第一線で活動し続けてきたこの20年という長い年月は、バンドの空白期間ではなく、唯一無二のTMGロックサウンドがより一層のパワーを得るための準備期間であったと感じることができる渾身の2ndアルバムに仕上がっている。今作のレコーディングには、ドラムにGuns N' RosesやVelvet Revolverで活躍のマット・ソーラム、ギターとアレンジメントにB'zのレコーディングやライブサポートでもお馴染みのYukihide "YT" Takiyamaといった、すでに発表されているツアーのバンドメンバーに加え、2017年に松本と共作アルバム『Electric Island, Acoustic Sea』をリリースしたダニエル・ホーや、松本のソロアルバム『Bluesman』でも華麗なサウンドを披露しているジェフ・バブコらが参加。新たなるTMGサウンドを象徴するかのようなキャッチーなメロディーが印象的な「CRASH DOWN LOVE」や、ジャックがTakを思い描いて詞を書き上げた、「GUITAR HERO」、そして、世界的に活躍の場を広げているメタルダンスユニット・BABYMETALがゲスト参加し、エリックとの疾走感あふれる掛け合いが心地よい「ETERNAL FLAMES」等、松本自身が「素晴らしいバンドメンバーと納得できる作品を創り上げることができた」と自負する全10曲を収録。PREMIUM EDITIONには、2004年開催の全国ツアー＜TMG LIVE 2004 "Dodge The Bullet"＞よりZepp Tokyo公演の完全版収録のBlu-rayが封入となる。2004年発表のDVD『TMG LIVE 2004 -Dodge The Bullet-』に収録されたZepp Tokyo公演のライブ映像に未公開映像を加えて再構成した映像のBlu-ray化であり、臨場感あふれるライブ映像は必見。Tak Matsumoto「THE HIT PARADE II」&TMG 「TMG II」連動応募特典【応募券B】封入。
