Description

[Machine Translation] A singer-songwriter born and raised in Tokyo who calls himself Piano Man. Both of his parents are educators, and he began his music education at the age of five, graduating from graduate school in 2012. He is also a scholar, having studied contemporary music and soundscapes in graduate school. This album is the culmination of his past works. His skill on the piano has been proven by his graduate studies. However, his true talent lies in his lyrics. He captures the present day from his unique perspective born and raised in Tokyo. That is what makes Koichi Nakajo so appealing. Rather than soothing, punk would be more on target. The first song "Anchor" is performed only with a song, piano, and accordion. All performed by Nakajo. The third song, "Garbage House," is a tongue-in-cheek look at a consumer society overflowing with goods, set to the rhythms of the tango. Started playing piano at the age of 5. In high school, he once formed a punk band, but the urge to express his own compositions in public drove him to sing on the street, and playing the piano became his main method of expression. After entering university, while studying classical music, he joined a jazz study group and discovered the appeal of combo jazz. In 2010, he entered graduate school. In 2010, he entered graduate school to study contemporary music and soundscape. Graduated from the graduate school in 2012 and started his music career in earnest. Born and raised in Tokyo.

Description in Japanese

僕はピアノマン / 仲条幸一

自らをピアノマンと名乗る東京生まれ東京育ちのシンガーソングライター。両親共に教育者で5歳から音楽教育を受けはじめ2012年には大学院を卒業。大学院では現代音楽とサウンドスケープを研究して来たという学者肌でもある。そんな彼がこれまでの作品の集大成として制作されたアルバムが本作品です。ピアノの腕前は大学院で研究していた程の実績で実証済み。しかし、彼の本来の才能は歌詞にこそある。東京で生まれ育った独自の視点で現代を切り取る。それこそが仲条幸一の魅力です。癒しというよりは、パンクと言った方が的射ていると思います。クラシカルなピアノとパンクな歌詞を堪能していただければと思います。1曲目「アンカー」歌とピアノ、アコーディオンのみの演奏。すべて仲条のパフォーマンス。シンプルな中にも力強いビートと自らを人生のランナーに例えた歌詞が印象的。3曲目「ごみ屋敷」タンゴのリズムに物が溢れた消費社会をチクリと皮肉る。6曲目「ライフプラン」シンプルなバンドサウンド。ベンフォールズファイブなどのピアノロックの匂いがプンプン。5歳からピアノを始める。高校時代はパンクバンドを組んだこともあるが自作曲を人前で表現するという衝動に駆られ路上で歌うようになりピアノの弾き語りが表現方法の柱になって行く。大学進学後はクラシック音楽を学ぶ傍らジャズ研究会に籍を置きコンボジャズの魅力を知る。在学中、単身ニューヨーク、ロンドンに赴き路上ライブを行う。2010年大学院に進学。現代音楽とサウンドスケープを研究する。2012年大学院を卒業。本格的に音楽活動をスタートさせる。東京生まれ東京育ち。
