Waga Machi Takasago

[Machine Translation] Based in Takasago City, located between Kobe and Himeji in Hyogo Prefecture and adjacent to Kakogawa, the group "Non-chan to Nanafukujin" consists of a local doctor, an Osaka-based internist, a teacher, and the owner of a long-established butcher store. The group's leader and vocalist, Noritaka Hirano, wrote and composed the lyrics to a local hymn, "My Town Takasago," which, as the title suggests, is a joyful song about his love for Takasago, where he was born and raised and where he performs daily at events and concerts. The song is full of 70s country rock and folk song tastes, and can be enjoyed with many people. The coupling song "Moon Beauty" is a song that the group has been singing for a long time, and its melancholic lyrics and melody, with a hint of college song and melancholy, are impressive and full of imagery.

兵庫県の神戸と姫路の間、加古川に隣接する高砂市を拠点に地元の医師・大阪の内科医・教師・老舗の精肉店のオーナーなどで結成するグループ"ノンちゃんと七福人"。リーダーでヴォーカルの平野憲孝作詞作曲による地元讃歌、「わが町高砂」はタイトル通り、自身が生まれ育ちまた、日ごろイベントやコンサートなどのライブを展開する高砂への地元愛を高らかに歌う楽しい作品。'70sのカントリー・ロックやフォークソングのテイストに溢れ、大勢で一緒に盛り上がれる曲。カップリングの「月下美人」はグループがずっと歌ってきた曲で、ちょっとカレッジソングの香りがしつつ哀愁を感じさせるメランコリックな詞とメロディーが印象的でイメージ溢れる楽曲。
