Yudachi to Mado

[Machine Translation] Maya, former main composer and bassist of Anakurokurok, has completed her first mini-album under her solo name "mayabeya". Despite her looks, the album is composed mainly of instrumental songs, which is rare in the visual kei genre, utilizing her powerful yet gentle sound and composition style that incorporates various genres of styles. Beginning with "It's Raining," in which the piano and bass intertwine quietly and gently, the album is composed mainly of instrumental pieces, a rarity in the visual kei genre. The song "Kokoro no arika" is a tango-inspired song that is both bewitching and passionate, and "One umbrella, two feelings" was inspired by the image of two lovers walking together in the rain. The sweet atmosphere of the song was replaced by the fast-paced "Running, avoiding raindrops," which made full use of slapping and fast playing. Following "Running to Avoid Raindrops," a fast-moving song with fast slaps, the band performed a mysterious song "Dancing to the Prayer Tree" with Full ( SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES , ex.Guniw tools ) as a vocalist, as part of the collaboration project they have been doing at each performance. The highlight of the show was "Dance to the Prayer Tree," a mysterious piece reminiscent of some aboriginal ritual. The classical piece "Though it is small to call it love..." was followed by "Evening and Window," a piece that made one feel as if a music box and a double bass were having a session in a room smelling of rain while it was raining outside. The overall impression is fantastical and soft, with an emphasis on the music.

元アナクロクロックのメインコンポーザーでベーシストのマヤのソロ名義「mayabeya」の初のミニアルバムが完成。そのルックスとは裏腹の、力強くも優しい音遣いと、様々なジャンルのスタイルを取り入れる作曲スタイルを存分に生かした、ビジュアル系では珍しいインスト曲が中心の構成となっている。ピアノとベースが静かに優しく絡み合う「雨が降ってきた。」に始まり、タンゴを意識した妖しくも情熱的な「ココロノアリカ」、雨の中を歩く恋人同士をイメージしたという「ひとつの傘にふたつの気持ち」。甘い雰囲気から一転、スラップの速弾きを駆使した疾走感あふれる「雨粒を避けて、走る。」に続き、毎回の公演でも行っているコラボレーション企画の一環として、今回はボーカルとしてFull氏(SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES、ex.Guniw tools)を迎えた、どこかの先住民の儀式を思わせるようなミステリアスな曲「祈りの木に捧ぐ踊り」も目玉の一つだ。その後ピアノとコントラバス、ストリングスが絡み合うクラシカルな「愛と呼ぶには小さいけれど…」に続いて、外に雨が振る中、雨の匂いがする部屋の中でオルゴールとコントラバスがセッションしているような感覚を覚える曲「夕立と窓」までの、計7曲。全体的に幻想的で柔らかい印象の、楽曲重視の構成内容となっている。
