Grumpy Diamonds Special Edition [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] The album is the 10th album by Michihiro Kuroda, "Grumpy Diamonds," and features 10 songs, including "VIKING77," "Gekijo," "CANNONBALL," "Geraci yo, Sekai wo Kaiten! and a variety of other 10 songs. This is a long-awaited album that includes songs that have already been performed live and made into sound recordings. Kuroda, who is known for his ballads, says, "I made this album the way I wanted to make it," but there are only a few ballads. The variety of genres is even more outrageous than before, which makes us think that the essence of Michihiro Kuroda lies in his sense of variety. This is one of those songs that are so out of the ordinary. The title "grumpy" is apparently derived from the fact that "many of the songs are fun, but many of them were written from a grumpy point of view, with a lot of complaining. Grumpy looking sparkling diamonds. The title is also good for a chuckle.

The variety of songs is intense, but the maturity of each song as an artist is remarkable. It is a wonder that this album is so convincing as an original album. ( Songs pressed: First Love/Breaking my Heart/Gekijou/Psychedelic Sneakers/VIKING 77 . . . . All of them are very strong, so it's hard to say which one is the best. Incidentally, "VIKING 77" is the theme song of "ROCK'N ROLL VIKING," a band event hosted by Kuroda at Club Citta' in Kawasaki in July. The song was performed by a special band called "Kurodaharuichi," a unit with his friend Haruichi Shindo (Porno Graffitti), who performed at the event, and it is also their theme song.

黒田倫弘10枚目となるアルバム「Grumpy Diamonds」・先行配信限定シングル「VIKING77」「激情」「CANNONBALL」「ジェラシーよ、世界を回せ!」ほか、バラエティーあふれる全10曲。すでにライブで発表されている曲の音源化などもあり、ファン待望の1枚。バラードに定評のある黒田が、「作りたいものを作りたいように作った1枚」というが、バラード曲は少ない。これまで以上にハチャメチャなジャンルバラエティーは、黒田倫弘の本質が、そのバラエティ感にこそあるのではないかと思わせる。そんな振り切った1枚。タイトルの「grumpy」は、「楽しい曲が多いけど、結構ぶつぶつ文句があって不機嫌そうなとこから書いたものが多いから」、らしい。不機嫌そうなキラキラダイヤモンド。クスリと笑ってしまうタイトルもいい。【年内出荷盤封入特典】 2013年1月1日まで実施の全国ツアーライブ会場で使える、プレゼントクーポン封入【特別盤封入特典】PVほか特典映像DVD付きロック・ファンク・フォーク・シティーポップ・パンクと楽曲バラエティは激しいが、どの曲も作家としての成熟度に目を見張る。これがオリジナルアルバム作品として説得力を持つから不思議。(押し曲:初恋/Breaking my heart/激情/サイケデリック・スニーカー/VIKING 77。。。。どれも強いのでむずかし?です)ちなみに、「VIKING 77」は、7月に川崎CLUB CITTA'で行われた黒田主催のバンドイベント「ROCK'N ROLL VIKING」のテーマ曲的な存在。このイベントに出演した友人でもある新藤晴一(ポルノグラフィティ)との出演ユニット「クロダハルイチ」の特別編成バンドで披露された楽曲で、彼らのテーマ曲でもある1曲となっています。(新藤さんはレコーディングには参加してません)1996年デビューのIcemanで3年の活動後、2000年岡村靖幸との競作曲「スリルバカンス」でソロデビュー後、作曲活動も開始。6年でアルバム6作品を発表。2006年、黒田倫弘(V)・伊藤賢一(G)・石橋政徳(B)・水江英樹(D)でバンドSCARECROW結成。バンドとソロ活動を並行。2010年、ソロデビュー10周年を迎えた。2011年は、9thアルバム制作とライブ活動を並行し、11/3より全国ツアーを実施。加藤登紀子らに楽曲提供、俳
