Description

[Machine Translation] After 14 months in the making, the long-awaited original album, the first in four and a half years after the best-of album, is finally completed with eight unique guest guitarists replacing Miura (g), who left the band. The album contains a total of 13 songs, including 12 newly written originals and one cover song. The manic-depressive and intense sense of apocalypse that pervades the entire album is real for KERA and us after the earthquake. The songs are beautiful and robust, and are meant to be milestones for survival in the midst of a situation that we can't stand. Rocket Song," a pop-punk song by Sugiyama, who also produces tracks for Urbangarde, and "Long Goodbye," by KERA, a song about saying goodbye to a loved one, were heartbreaking with their strings and sad lyrics. The album is a conceptual total album, including a cover of the classic Showa-era song "Midnight Guitar" (Kaoru Senga, 1969), which has already been performed live since last year. Fans will be pleased to hear phrases and essences reminiscent of the early Yutten songs. The ever-changing chorus work is also a highlight. This is of course the third release from the revived Nagom Records.

Description in Japanese

ブロークン・フラワー / ケラ&ザ・シンセサイザーズ

制作期間14ヶ月、脱退した三浦(g)の代わりに8人の個性派ゲスト・ギタリストを迎え、ベスト盤を挟んで4年半ぶりとなる待望のオリジナル・アルバムがついに完成。収録は書き下ろしのオリジナル12曲とカヴァー1曲の合計13曲。全編を覆う躁鬱激しい終末感は震災後のKERA、そして我々にとってのリアル。のっぴきならない現状の中、生き残るためのマイルストーンとなるべく美しく逞しい歌がズラリと並んだ。アーバンギャルドのトラックも手がける,Sugiyamaによるはじけたポップ・パンク「ロケット・ソング」や親しい人との別れを歌ったKERA作「Long Goodbye」はストリングスと切ない歌詞が胸を打つ。昨年よりライブではお披露目済みの昭和歌謡の名曲「真夜中のギター」(千賀かおる、1969年)カヴァーも含めてコンセプチュアルなトータル・アルバムに仕上がった。初期有頂天を思わせるフレーズやエッセンスも随所にみられファンには嬉しいところ。変幻自在のコーラス・ワークも聴き所 もちろん、復活ナゴム・レコード第3弾としてリリース。
