Description

[Machine Translation] The long-awaited third single by Masato Tsujioka, "Glass Case," was produced by Yuji Ishii of "Caramel Punch," who is active in the major music scene. The song and lyrics of "Glass Case" realistically reflect the love of Masato Tsujioka, who is famous as "a person who everyone who knows Japanese movies should know" and is active in the movie industry. The song is based on a "secret love" that Tsujioka is not allowed to enter into from his point of view, and the feelings that threaten to explode are just barely suppressed. He says, "I am an ordinary man, and I fall in love normally. It is not often that you fall in love in your whole life. When I think about it, I want to leave my feelings of having had a precious experience straight. And I want to tell people who are in love that it is the same for me. There is only one person who can make the best music without clouding my heart and reflecting it like a mirror. Tsujioka offered to produce the theme song for his film "Dirty Heart" to Yuji Ishii of "Caramel Punch" fame. This is the first time for Ishii to provide music for an artist, and Tsujioka interviewed him for the subject of "Glass Case". Ishii promised to provide the best music, but Tsujioka's experience shook him to the core, and he fell into a slump, unable to come up with music and lyrics for the first time in his life due to a mixture of responsibility and pressure. Nevertheless, he crawled up to the top with the strength he had built up in the major music scene, and produced "Glass Case" and CW's "Ren". For the recording, the members of "Caramel Punch" gathered together, and each of them played and beat the appropriate notes for "Glass Case" and "Ren," creating a clever and powerful rock sound. Glass Case" is Japanese rock 'n' roll music that combines Tsujioka's impressive words, "I love you" in a straightforward manner, with sad lyrics that cannot be crossed. Ren" is a follow-up to "Glass Case," a sweet and bittersweet reminiscence of the old days, set to a gentle melodism. Tsujioka said, "I don't think I've ever heard a better song. A masterpiece! Ishii was equally confident, saying, "Beyond the pain of creating the music, I have created the best music. Masato Tsujioka was born in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture on September 3, 1979 (age 32) In 1998, at the age of 18, he debuted as an actor in the movie "Bullet Ballet" starring Tatsuya Nakamura, formerly of Blankey Jet City.

ガラスケース / 辻岡正人

待望の辻岡正人第三弾シングル『ガラスケース』はメジャー・シーンで活躍する「キャラメルパンチ」の石井ユージが全面プロデュース。『ガラスケース』は≪日本映画を知る者は、誰もが知るべき人物≫として有名な、映画界で活躍する辻岡正人の恋心が、曲と詞にリアルに反映されている。辻岡の立場からは決して踏み込んではいけない≪秘められた恋≫がベースとなり、爆発しそうな気持ちがギリギリ寸前で抑えられている。「自分は普通の男であり、普通に恋もする。一生の中で恋をすることなんてそうそうない。そう思ったとき、貴重な経験をした自分の気持ちをストレートに残したい。そして恋をする人たちに、俺も同じだよって伝えたい。俺の心を曇らせず、鏡のように写し出し、最高の音楽を作り上げてくれる奴は、石井ユージしかいない」。辻岡は監督作「Dirty Heart」の主題歌に起用した「キャラメルパンチ」の石井ユージにプロデュースをオファー。アーティストへの楽曲提供は今回が初となる石井は、『ガラスケース』の題材となる取材を辻岡に敢行する。石井は「最高の楽曲を提供する」と約束するも、題材となる辻岡の体験に心を揺さぶられ、責任や重圧などが相混ざり≪生まれて初めて、曲と詞が降りてこないスランプ≫に陥った。それでもメジャー・シーンで活躍する底力で這い上がり、『ガラスケース』、そしてCW『漣』を生み出す。レコーディングでは「キャラメルパンチ」のメンバーが集結し、各々が『ガラスケース』『漣』に適した音を掻き鳴らし、叩き打ち、巧妙かつ迫力あるロック・サウンドが実現。『ガラスケース』は辻岡がストレートに「好き」と放つ印象的な言葉と、交わることが許されない切ない歌詞とが合わさったジャパニーズ・ロックンロール・ミュージック。『漣』は『ガラスケース』のその後のイメージであり、緩やかなメロディズムに乗せて、甘くほろ苦い昔を思い返して綴っている。辻岡は「これ以上の楽曲とは出会えない気がする。最高傑作!」と言い放ち、石井も同様に「楽曲を生み出す苦しみを超えて、最高の音楽が出来た」と自信満々に語った。辻岡正人 大阪府豊中市出身 1979年9月3日生(32歳)98年、18歳の頃、元BLANKEY JET CITYの中村達也による主演映画「BULLET BALLET」で準主演に抜擢され俳優デビュー。00年、ストリート系ティーン雑誌「fine boys」で
