The Great Songs

[Machine Translation] PUSHIM, the No.1 singer in the Japanese reggae scene, releases his first cover album, featuring his own selections of timeless classics. The songs, sung with his rare voice and singing ability, come to life again and shine brightly, strongly appealing to listeners' hearts. The reggae arrangement of "Hello my Friend" (Yumi Matsutoya) fits exquisitely with the song's melody, "Laugh at Me" (Tortoise Matsumoto), which I often listen to because I like it so much and sing it with a lot of emotion, "Ruri-iro Chikyu" (Seiko Matsuda), which is sung with a message for the current global environment, and "Hajime" (Hajime), a simple cover with just a piano and strong vocals. Hajimari ha itsumo ame (It's always raining)" (ASKA), a simple cover with only piano and powerful singing voice, "Ringo oiwake" (Ringo Oiwake) (Hibari Misora) with a smoky rock steady range, "Barefoot Flowne" (theme song for the anime Mysterious Island Flowne), and the live favorite, One Love (original: Bob Marley), are also newly recorded. Endless Story ( Yuna Ito ), So Much In Love ( The Tymes ), and Human Nature ( Michael Jackson ) are newly recorded and re-recorded on this album.
