Shichirigahama AWAY

[Machine Translation] This is the return work of Shokichi Ishida after a six-month break, which he declared in April 2019, when he announced a hiatus from his activities. This slow rock ballad with aesthetic piano performance was created as the ending theme for the short film "Family Map" (directed by Shogo Washigashira, starring Kota Iwashiro, Tame Hatanaka, and Narumi Itano), and is a masterpiece of a deep song world that seeps into the heart during the autumn&#12316;winter season, just like "Ishida is back". It is a good song that reminds us of "Ishida is back". The album also includes three short instrumental songs used as inserts in the play, a naked version of the title track that uses only piano and singing without any echoes, and a self-cover of the hidden masterpiece "Thousand Words," which Ishida once provided to the Caramel Box theater group using female vocals (also performed on the piano). This deluxe single is very rich in content, and also includes a self cover of the hidden masterpiece "Thousand Words" (also performed on piano). The new flag of Ishida's footsteps, which have always been based on the universality of music, is now being raised high in Machida, Tokyo. <profile> Ishida is a singer-songwriter and producer who has carved his own route to the summit of Japanese rock history with Spiral life, Scudelia Electro, and MOTORWORKS. Also known as the Darth Vader of Shibuya-kei, Machida's Fill Spector, and the Niagara of the grunge world. His signature is a sentimental melody that inevitably brings tears to the ears, placed on top of a roaring sound. In the last few years, he has been producing many shoegaze bands as well as nurturing the Machida Girls Choir, a girls' chorus group.

2019年四月に活動休止を宣言した石田ショーキチの半年間の休養を経ての復帰作。本作品は短編映画「家族の地図」(鷲頭祥伍監督、岩城滉太・畑中タメ・板野成美主演)のエンディグテーマとして作成された耽美なピアノ演奏によるスローロックバラードは秋&#12316;冬の季節に心に染み込むディープな歌世界が圧巻のまさに「Ishida is back」を思わせる佳曲。劇中に挿入曲として使用されたショートインストルメンタル3曲、タイトル曲のピアノと歌のみでエコーも何も使用しないネイキッドバージョン、更にかつて石田が女性ボーカルを採用して演劇集団キャラメルボックスに提供した隠れた名曲「千もの言葉」のセルフカバー(こちらもやはりピアノによる演奏)も収録という非常に内容の濃いデラックスシングル。常に音楽の普遍性をテーゼに歩み続けた石田の足跡の新しいフラッグが今、東京は町田に高々と掲げられる。<プロフィール>Spiral life、Scudelia Electro、MOTORWORKSと日本のロックの歴史に独自の登頂ルートを刻んだシンガーソングライター/プロデューサー。別名・渋谷系のダースベーダー、町田のフィルスペクター、グランジ界のナイアガラ等。轟音サウンドに載せた落涙必至のセンチメンタルメロディが看板。ここ数年はガールズコーラスグループまちだガールズ・クワイアの育成に並びシューゲイザー系のバンドのプロデュースが多数。
