Yurari

[Machine Translation] Inspiration, triggering, stretching or warping, passion... If you only look at the meanings of the song titles, you may wonder how intense the sound is, but as with the two ballads "ama-zora" and "adoreu," the tenderness of the melodies stands out amidst the intensity. This time, the two artists, who have performed together in many live performances, are featured. Hamasaki sings the melody with passion and tenderness, while Matsuoka 'matzz' Takahiro adds ideas and sharpness to the sound. Starting with the title track, "Yurari," which is based on the theme of emotional fluctuation, this is the first album by Mika Ota and Yoshitaka Yamashita, a duo whose highly free and experimental live performance can be felt as it is.

触発、誘発、伸るか反るか、激情・・・曲タイトルの意味だけを並べると、どれだけの激しいサウンドなのかと思われるが、「ama-zora」「adoreu」バラード2曲と同様に、激しさの中にもメロディの優しさが目立つ。今回はライブでも多く共演してきた2人をフューチャリング。浜崎航がそのメロディを熱情と優しさをもって歌い上げ、松岡'matzz'高廣がサウンドをアイデアとプレイのキレで彩っている。感情のゆれをテーマにしたタイトル曲「ゆらり」を始め、自由度高く実験的なライブパフォーマンスをそのまま感じられる、太田美香+山下佳孝Duoアルバム第1弾。
