Description

[Machine Translation] [Champagne] will release a new single on July 11! Despite being an independent band, [Champagne] is flying off the shelves, with an additional show scheduled for June 30 after the tour final on June 29 at Shibuya AX sold out immediately. Champagne], which is growing into a savior of Japanese rock music with a flood of offers from summer festivals such as SUMMER SONIC, ROCK IN JAPAN, MONSTER baSH, and SWEET LOVE SHOWER this year, has dropped a new single. This single is a recut of "Kill Me If You Can" from their 3rd album "Schwarzenegger" (released on April 04, 2012), which debuted at No. 10 on the Oricon Weekly charts. This song is what vocalist Kawakami wanted to say most in this album, and it is an important song that will be played at the end of the album tour. This is a song that has grown on us as we have played it live. The title of the song, which means "If you can kill it, try to kill it," is what we want to say the most in this album. We cut it as a single so that it will resonate with more and more people. Deliver me. The second song is "Waterdrop," an unreleased soundtrack that was supposed to be included in the second album "I Wanna Go To Hawaii. The third song is a cover of Primal Scream's explosive tune "Accelerator," which is a favorite of [Champagne] and is scheduled to appear at this year's ROCKS TOKYO. This song is well-known at live performances and has been long-awaited by fans. The fourth song is "Busy Dragon Playing," the opening theme song for TOKYO FM's "RADIO DRAGON" program from April 2012. Yohei Kawakami, who has been influenced by the music played on the radio, created this vigorous instrumental number in a free-spirited manner, which is appropriate for the start of the program. The single, which includes four songs, is a limited edition release and can be enjoyed not only by fans but also by those who are new to Champagne's music.

Kill Me If You Can / [Alexandros]

[Champagne]、早くもニューシングルが7月11日にリリース決定!インディーズでありながら、ツアーファイナルの6/29渋谷AXが即日完売のため6/30に追加公演が決定するなど、飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いの[Champagne]。今年のSUMMER SONIC、ROCK IN JAPAN、MONSTER baSH、SWEET LOVE SHOWERなどのサマーフェスティバルからのオファーが殺到するなど日本のロックの救世主的な存在に成長する[Champagne]がニューシングルをドロップ。今回のシングルはオリコンweekly初登場10位を記録した3rdアルバム「Schwarzenegger」(2012.4.04発売)から「Kill Me If You Can」をリカット。この曲はボーカル川上がこのアルバムで一番言いたかった事でもあり、アルバムツアーでも終盤を迎える重要な曲で、今後のフェスなどでマストでプレイするであろうアンセムソング。「この曲はライブでやっていくにつれて自分達の中で存在がどんどん大きくなってきた曲です。殺れるもんなら殺ってみろという意味のタイトルは今回のアルバムで一番言いたい事です。もっともっと多くの人に響くようにシングルカットしました。届け。川上洋平」2曲目は、2ndアルバム「I Wanna Go To Hawaii.」(2011.2.09発売)に収録される予定だった当時レコーディング済みの幻の未発表音源「Waterdrop」を収録。3曲目は、[Champagne]が敬愛してやまない今年のROCKS TOKYOにも出演が決まったPrimal Screamの爆裂チューン「Accelerator」をカヴァー。この曲はライブでもおなじみで、ファン待望の音源化とも言えるであろう。そして、4曲目はTOKYO FM「RADIO DRAGON」の2012年4月からの番組オープニングテーマである「Busy Dragon Playing」。ラジオから流れる音楽に影響を受けてきた川上洋平が自由気ままに作った番組スタートに相応しい、勢いあるインストナンバー。そんなスペシャル感たっぷりの全4曲が収録されている今回のシングルは完全限定作品となっていて、ファンのみならず、初めて[Champagne]の音楽に触れる方でも楽しめる一枚となっている。
