[Machine Translation] Super multi-string bassist Kenjiro Nagai took on the challenge of recording a full-fledged album using only an 8-string bass. This album features the 8-string bass in a trio formation with Naoki Kato, a super-fast guitarist from his band TRAFFIC INFORMATION, and Taro Yoshida, a drummer who has been very successful at countless venues such as The Alfee, and he plays the 8-string bass in all its glory. Let's Walkin'" featured slaps while playing chords that are possible only with the super multi-string bass, "Morseman" used a guitar amp and played the tune as if it were a guitar itself, "December" sang melodies with the 8-string fretless bass, and "Fretless" played a tricky tune that changed beats all the time. On the album's title track, OctoBass, the band does whatever they want, including high-speed slapping, chord cutting, melodies, and solos using only the 8-string bass. The songs are also very diverse, as if the band is a progressive fusion band. The band's ensemble is also excellent. The three members have been playing together for many years, and when one of them makes a move, someone else immediately responds. Guitarist Naoki Kato is not only proud of his fast playing, but also contributed three songs. He also shows his talent for songwriting. Another attraction of this album is Taro Yoshida's drum solo. This album is a must-listen for drummer fans.
