To The Limit

[Machine Translation] The most powerful combination of KEiCO, with her astonishingly powerful vocals, and NAOKi, with her superbly skilled nylon-string guitar. Jazz? Rock? Pop? ---No. The genre is "Fakey" (lol). The way they devote themselves to each and every song gives you goosebumps. It has been two years since his previous long-selling album "Timeless," which became a must-have reference disc for audiophiles as well as music fans. The latest work by this amazing guitar/vocal duo has finally come to fruition. In addition to such Western classics as Aquarius (from the musical "Hair"), Close To You (Carpenters), Stranger (B. Joel), and a rare cover of Tatsuro Yamashita's "Ride On Time," the duo has also released a new album, "Timeless," which is a must-have reference disc for audiophiles. The album was recorded with the technical cooperation of Sharp Corporation, using their 1-bit technology to capture FAKiE's performance directly from the microphone to the highest quality digital audio.

■ 驚愕の迫力ボーカルKEiCOと、超絶技巧のナイロン弦ギターNAOKiの最強コンビ。ジャズ? ロック? ポップ? ---いいえジャンルは「フェイキー」です(笑)。一曲一曲に全身全霊を捧げる姿は鳥肌モノ。■ 音楽ファンはもとより、オーディオファンの間ではリファレンス盤として必須アイテムとなったロングセラーの前作「Timeless」から2年。ついに結実した、驚異のギター・ヴォーカル・デュオの最新作。 ■ アクエリアス(ミュージカル「ヘアー」)、クロース・トゥー・ユー(カーペンターズ)、ストレンジャー(B・ジョエル)などの洋楽定番曲のほか、山下達郎のRide On Time の珍しいカヴァーも。 ■ シャープ株式会社の技術協力により、同社の1-bit(ワンビット)技術を全面的に採用したレコーディングを敢行。FAKiEの演奏を、マイクからダイレクトに最高品位のデジタルオーディオに閉じこめました。Naoki 直筆のジャケットも見どころ。
