Uta no Ne 2 -Natsukashiki Shoka ni Yose Te-

[Machine Translation] Kazuya Sato has been delivering gentle and intimate music throughout Japan since his 2017 release "Uta no Oto (Sound of Song)," in which he breathed new life into songs by playing on the shinobue flute, mainly famous J-Pop songs and songs for children. For this album, he has chosen songs for children's songs and shoka, which are often requested, and has created a heartwarming sound album that warmly embraces the listener with its scenery and memories. As in the previous album, the same breathtaking performance and transparent arrangements by Takeshi Seo ( KOBUDO ), with whom he has been spinning sounds together, are complemented by jazz-based arrangements by Joji Sawada ( Shoro Club ), with whom he collaborated for the first time in a live performance last year, and by arranger Harutoshi Ito, who is also spinning sounds for the first time, to deliver heart-warming shoka songs on the shinobue. Shoka, which will touch your heart with its shinobue flute.

2017年にリリースした「唄の音」ではJ-POP・歌謡曲の名曲を中心に、篠笛で奏でることで歌に新たな息を吹き込み、全国各地で優しい寄り添う音楽を届けてきた佐藤和哉。そして今作ではリクエストの多い童謡・唱歌を中心に選曲し、風景と記憶と共に温かく包み込むハートフルなサウンドのアルバムとなっている。前作同様、共に音を紡いできた妹尾武 (KOBUDO)の息の合った演奏と透明感のあるアレンジに加え、昨年ライブで初共演した沢田穣治 (ショーロクラブ)によるジャズをベースとしたアレンジ、そして今回初となるアレンジャー伊藤ハルトシとも音を重ね紡ぎ、篠笛で心にしみる唱歌をお届け。
