Good Morning

[Machine Translation] Vocal guitarist Toshiro Sakurai was the music director and composer for the popular music game series "Drummania" (Konami), and his songs, which transcended the boundaries of game music, are still loved by many fans even after several years. After leaving the game company, Sakurai formed Safety Shoes with Kazumichi Nishimura (guitar). Their long-awaited first album, "Good Morning," was released in March 2009 and has been widely supported by men in their mid-twenties and early thirties, a demographic that has moved away from CDs. The first album "Good Morning" is the long-awaited first album of the group. "Strong Soul" is a perfect harmony of funk and pop music, "I wish tomorrow would never come" sadly expresses the betrayal of a lover that everyone experiences in adolescence and youth, "Shoes" crisply describes a boy trying to be positive with the impressive words "Even though I am like this now," and "Good Morning" is a song that reminds us of a lover who took his hand away from us. The English lyrics for "Rebirth Song," which dramatically depicts a moment of determination to start life over, were written by B.BANDJ, formerly of Mondogrosso. The song "Rebirth Song", which dramatically depicts a moment of determination to start life over, features English lyrics by B.BANDJ, formerly of Mondo Grosso. The song is not a transient one.

ボーカルギターの桜井敏郎は人気音楽ゲーム『ドラムマニア』シリーズ(コナミ)で音楽ディレクターと作曲を担当し、ゲーム音楽の枠を超えた当時の楽曲は数年たった今でも多くのファンに愛されている。桜井はゲーム会社退社後に西村カズミチ(ギター)とSafety Shoesを結成。その音楽性はCD離れの目立つ20代半ばから30代前半の男性に深く支持されており、その待望のファーストアルバムがこの『Good Morning』。ファンクとポップス性を見事に調和させた『つよい魂』、思春期から青年期に誰もが経験する恋人の裏切りを切なく表現した『明日なんて来なけりゃいいのに』、"今はこんな僕でも"という印象的な言葉でもって前向きになろうとする少年の姿を歯切れよく描いた『シューズ』、自分から手を離した恋人のことを思い出し立ち止まる『パーツ不足の胸の奥』、人生をやり直そうとする決意の瞬間をドラマティックに描いた『再生のうた』では、英語詞を元モンドグロッソのB.BANDJが担当している。一過性のものではなくリスナーに長く愛されることを狙って作られた1枚。」
