Birthday

[Machine Translation] SUNEOHAIR's long-awaited 6th album! The album, which took nearly two years in the making, is a masterpiece, a careful combination of Kenji Watanabe's artistry and creativity. In addition to the three songs that were released as singles, "Because of the Fickle Seasons," "What I Want to Say Is Always," and "Complicity," the album also includes "Birthday," the title track, "Starmine," which depicts a beautiful scene of winter fireworks, and "Love You," which is used as the song for the Nagaoka University of Technology TV commercial. (LOVE YOU), which has been used as a TV commercial song for Nagaoka University of Technology, and many more. The album is a must-listen from beginning to end, and features a more polished sound and vocals. This is a work that offers a glimpse of the new frontier that SUNEOHAIR has discovered through various music productions outside of the SUNEOHAIR name, including soundtrack production for the movie "Koisuru Madori," songwriting for THE COLLECTORS and Yui Aragaki, production for Jackson vibe, and activities as THE SUNDAY DRIVERS. The album is a new world of music production.

スネオヘアー、待望の6thアルバム! 2年近い時間をかけて制作された今回のアルバムは、スネオヘアーこと渡辺健二のアーティスト性と作家性がじっくりと練り合わされた、最高傑作の呼び声も高い仕上がり。シングルとしてリリースされた「気まぐれな季節のせいで」「言いたいことはいつも」「共犯者」の3曲に加え、アルバム表題曲となった「バースデー」、冬の花火を描いた情景が美しい「スターマイン」、長岡技術科学大学のTVCMソングとしてもオンエアされている「LOVE YOU」など、多彩な物語性を感じさせる全12曲を収録。一段と研ぎ澄まされたサウンドやヴォーカルにも注目の、最初から最後までじっくりと聴きこみたい1枚。映画『恋するマドリ』のサウンドトラック制作、THE COLLECTORSや新垣結衣への楽曲提供、Jackson vibeのプロデュース、THE SUNDAY DRIVERSとしての活動など、スネオヘアー名義以外で行った様々な音楽制作を経て見出した新境地が垣間見える作品。
