Description

[Machine Translation] More than a year after her debut charity album "Prayer", which was released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of her debut, Tomoe Ayato has completed a new album full of hope, which is a reminder that the world, including people, is still strong and beautiful. The previous album "PRAYER", which was recorded after the earthquake disaster, was affected by the disaster, and as the title suggests, it was an album of "prayer" filled with compassion and healing. Chie Ayato visited the disaster-stricken areas herself, and once again felt the wonder of human bonds. Beyond her prayers, she found a wonderful world filled with hope. The world, including people, is still strong and beautiful ( Wonderful World ). The title of the album was taken from the song "What A Wonderful World," which symbolizes the theme. The album has a bright and light impression with a drumless band of organ, percussion, guitar, and bass, a change from the calm taste represented by the previous album "Hallelujah". The songs on this album range from classic Ellington numbers to rock numbers by the Beatles and Sting, and even Nino Rota's film music ("The Godfather"), and are all songs that I want to sing freely and happily now. Coincidentally, there are 5 songs that contain the word "LOVE" in all 12 songs, which I think reflects the current mood of the band. I have performed with Nobuo Hara and Sharps & Flats, Norio Maeda, Yosuke Yamashita, and many other famous jazz musicians, as well as with Mika Nakajima, Hiromitsu Agatsuma (Tsugaru Shamisen), EXILE, and many other artists in other genres. She has sung in a variety of genres such as pop, J-POP, country, and gospel music, transcending the framework of Jazz, and has attracted not only fans but also musicians. Chie Ayato will release her new album "Wonderful World" on June 21, 2012 (Thursday), the 15th anniversary of her debut. In addition, she will hold her 15th anniversary concert "Wonderful World" in July and continue to hold long concerts throughout Japan until the following spring, and she is also planning a special event in early summer to celebrate her 15th anniversary. This is a masterpiece of an album of hope that Chie Ayato has reached before the 15th anniversary of her debut. !!!!

Wonderful World / 綾戸智恵

綾戸智恵デビュー15周年記念アルバムチャリティアルバム『Prayer』から1年余り、「祈り」の先に見えたのは、人を含めてそれでも世界は強く美しいという想い-来年デビュー15周年を迎える綾戸が完成させた希望に満ちたニューアルバム!!!震災を挟んでレコーディングされた前作『PRAYER』は図らずも、震災の影響を受け、タイトルの通り慈愛と癒しを込めた「祈り」のアルバムでした。そして自ら被災地へ足を運び、改めて人の絆の素晴らしさを感じた綾戸智恵。祈りの先には希望に満ちた素晴らしい世界がありました。人を含め、それでも世界は強く、美しい(Wonderful World)…そんな気持ちがアルバム制作のエネルギーになりました。そしてテーマを象徴する楽曲「What A Wonderful World」からアルバムタイトルが付けられました。前作の『ハレルヤ』に代表される落ち着いたテイストから一転、今作はオルガン/パーカッション/ギター/ベースというドラムレスのバンドで明るく軽やかな印象のアルバムとなってます。選曲も王道エリントンナンバーからビートルズやスティングのロックナンバー、そしてニーノ・ロータの映画音楽(「ゴッドファーザー」)に至るまで、これまでのアルバムの中でも特に自由に楽しく今歌いたい歌を収録。そして偶然にも全12曲LOVEという単語入った曲が実に5曲あることも今の気分を反映していると思います。これまで原信夫とシャープス&フラッツ、前田憲男、山下洋輔などの著名なジャズミュージシャンと共演を果たし、さらには中島美嘉、上妻宏光(津軽三味線)、EXILEなど他のジャンルのアーティストとも数多く共演をしてきました。JAZZという枠組みを飛び越えて、ポップス、J-POP、カントリー、ゴスペルなど様々なジャンルの音楽を巧みに歌いこなす姿にファンのみならず、ミュージシャンをも魅了しています。そんな綾戸智恵が15年目の節目に放つ新作『Wonderful World』がちょうどデビュー15年目にあたる2012年6月21日(木)にリリースします。更には7月からデビュー15周年コンサートWonderful Worldで翌春までのロングコンサートを全国で行い、満15年を迎える初夏にはスペシャルな企画も控えています。これぞ綾戸智恵がデビュー15年を前に到達した、希望のアルバムと言える傑作です!!!!
