Description

[Machine Translation] Singer-songwriter Akio Kondo has already released his 4th single "Ai"! We are looking for Ai, but the truth is that Ai was looking for us." In an age where values and standards are so varied and complicated that it has become difficult to see love and kindness. But even so, just because it has become harder to see, it doesn't mean that love and kindness have disappeared. The message is that it is important whether or not we notice the existence of love and tenderness. Produced by Yoshiaki Dewa (amazarashi, etc.), the song combines Akio Kondo's unique "Japanese melody" influenced by Showa-era songs, his fragile yet strong voice, edgy guitar, fragile yet powerful piano phrases, and magnificent strings to create a sincere and fast-paced medium tune. The song will be the theme song for the TBS drama "Nameless Poison"!

Description in Japanese

あい / 近藤晃央

シンガーソングライター近藤晃央が、早くも4thシングル「あい」をリリース! 「僕らはアイを探すけれど、本当はアイが僕らを探してた」価値観や基準が様々だからこそ複雑になり、愛情や優しさが見えにくくなってしまった時代。そうだとしても、見えにくくなってしまっただけで、決して愛情や優しさが消えてしまったわけじゃない。「本当は気付けば ここにあった」その存在に気付くか気付けないかが大切な事なんだ、というメッセージを込めた、「あい」をテーマに近藤晃央独自の視点で綴った新境地のラブソング。プロデューサーには出羽良彰氏(amazarashiなど)を迎え、昭和歌謡から影響を受けた近藤晃央独自の「和メロ」と儚さと強さを併せ持った唄声に、エッジの効いたギター、儚げで力強いピアノフレーズ、壮大なストリングスがひとつになった、真摯で疾走感溢れるミディアムチューンに仕上がっている。TBSドラマ 『名もなき毒』主題歌決定 !
