Description

[Machine Translation] It has been five years since bluegreen, the label of the live house shimokitazawa ERA, introduced three bands, avengers in sci-fi, wooderd chiarie, and the chef cooks me, to the world. These three bands, who were completely unknown at the time, brought a breath of fresh air to the saturated music industry, whether indie or major at the time. The release of bluegreen, the label of shimokitazawa ERA that produced these three bands, was also a challenge from the viewpoint of live music clubs and the supremacy of the scene. It was around this time that a completely new type of band, one that took an unprecedented musical approach and overturned musical conventions, came to the forefront of the music scene. However, nowadays, I personally feel that the number of bands that can compete purely on the basis of "music" is extremely limited as far as I can see. As more and more bands are doing something different, the freshness I mentioned above is fading away. Where has the real image of music gone? The times turn and turn. Now, a band called "Yugure Retronica" has finally come into the light of day. The band's universal, timeless melodies, and unique worldview of poetry that captures the hearts and minds of the masses. I can just imagine drunken people happily singing "Shiawase to tomo yamahachibu" from "Yugure retronica" at banquets all over Japan. And listening to "Sumiba-ma-metropolis," I can regain those feelings that I have forgotten. The songs of "Yugure Retronica" are not nostalgic, and will join the ranks of new Japanese anthems. The music, which is truly universal, will always make you feel new.

Description in Japanese

幸せまでも腹八分 / 夕暮レトロニカ

ライブハウスshimokitazawa ERAのレーベルbluegreenが、avengers in sci-fi、wooderd chiarie、the chef cooks meという3バンドを世に送り出してから早5年。その頃全く無名だったこの3バンドは、当時のインディー、メジャー問わず、飽和した音楽業界に新しい風を吹かせたのは記憶に新しい。そして、その3バンドを輩出したshimokitazawa ERAのレーベルbluegreenのリリースというものは、ライブハウス目線という現場至上主義からの挑戦でもあった。今までに類を見ない音楽的アプローチや、音楽的常識を覆すような、全く新しいタイプのバンドが日の目を浴びるようになったのも、丁度この頃からだっただろう。しかし今となっては、純粋に「音楽」というもので勝負出来ているバンドは、見渡す限り非常に限られているように個人的には感じている。何か変わった事をやるバンドが増えれば増えるほど、前述で取り上げた新鮮さは薄れていくばかり。音楽の実像はどこへいったのか。時代は回り、そして巡る。そんな今、「夕暮レトロニカ」というバンドがついに日の目を浴びる。普遍的な、時代に流される事の無い良質なメロディー、大衆の心をガッチリと掴む、独特の詩の世界観。酔っぱらい達が楽しそうに宴会で「夕暮レトロニカ」の「幸せまでも腹八分」を日本中で合唱する姿が目に浮かぶ。そして「住めば都」を聴きながら、忘れてしまったあの気持ちを取り戻す。決して懐古主義ではない、また、あらたなジャパニーズアンセムに仲間入りするであろう「夕暮レトロニカ」の楽曲達。正しく普遍的な音楽は、いつの時代も常に新しい感覚に浸らせてくれるはずだ。
