Shiawasebashi no Mukogawa

[Machine Translation] In 2003, the current members started their activities, performing 3 to 5 times a month mainly at live houses in their hometown of Saitama. Despite the confusion of those around them who say, "I don't know whether they are motivated or not," they have participated in numerous events and have steadily increased their attendance, achieving great success. Their appeal lies in the world view of their music. Vocalist Yamagishi carefully spins each word as he sings the lyrics from a unique perspective that is unparalleled. At times, she bares her emotions as if she is on the verge of devilishness, and at other times, she sings serious lyrics in a frighteningly dry manner. Their rich expressive power is combined with the rough sound of the band to create a single emotional expression. The band's character, which has no strange pride, is very low and does not try to decorate itself at all, which may be the reason why the emotional expressions in their songs are conveyed straight to the listeners. Even the indescribable pettiness that can be felt throughout their songs, whether it is due to the content of the lyrics or the awkwardness of their performance, creates a unique worldview as "Uranino's character. The mini-album "Shiawase Hashi no Mukougawa", their first official release, contains seven songs, some of which have been a staple of their live performances, and some of which are completely new. Although all the songs are independent of each other, when you listen to the whole album, you can feel a strange sense of unity, as if a single character emerges from the songs. This must be the Uraniil world. This is the Uranir world, and this is a masterpiece that conveys all of their charms. Yamagishi, who bows his head and says, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you," does not seem to have any aura of his own. While Piston Ohashi is unusually high-spirited, Ogura, who is younger than Piston Ohashi, is surprisingly slow-paced. Please enjoy the unique world of songs created by these three people with or without taste, whether you laugh or cry.

2003年当初より現在のメンバーで活動を開始、地元埼玉のライブハウスを中心に月3～5本の精力的なライブ活動を行う。「やる気があるのかないのかわからない」とまわりの人間を困惑させながらも、これまでに多数のイベントに参加、確実に動員を増やし大成功を収めた。彼等の魅力はなんといっても楽曲の世界観にある。他に類を見ない独特な切り口から描き出される詞の世界を、ボーカル山岸が言葉ひとつひとつを丁寧に紡ぎ出すように歌いあげる。時には鬼気迫るかのように感情をむき出しにし、かと思えばシリアスな歌詞を恐ろしくドライに歌ってみせる。その豊かな表現力が荒削りなバンドサウンドに重なってひとつの感情表現として放たれる。変なプライドも持たずやたらと腰が低く、全く自分達を飾ろうとしない彼等のキャラクターだからこそ、楽曲に込められた感情表現がストレートに聞き手に伝わってくるのかもしれない。歌詞の内容のせいか演奏のヘコさのせいか彼等の楽曲全体に感じられるなんとも言えない情けなさでさえも、「ウラニーノらしさ」として唯一無二の世界観を作り出している。そんな彼等が初の正式音源としてリリースするミニアルバム「幸せ橋の向こうがわ」は、ライブでも定番の曲から全くの新曲まで全7曲が収められている。全ての曲が独立した世界観を築いているにもかかわらず、通して聴くとそこに一人の主人公が浮かび上がってくるかのような不思議な統一感も感じられる。これこそウラニールワールドなのだろう。まさに捨て曲なし、彼等の魅力を余すところ無く伝える傑作ができあがった。何かにつけて「恐縮です」と頭を下げる山岸にはなんのオーラも感じられない。異常なテンションの高さのピストン大橋に対し、年下の小倉は驚くほどマイペースだ。この味のあるようなないような3人の作り出す独特な歌の世界、笑うなり泣くなりどうぞご堪能ください。
