Stray Dogs

[Machine Translation] This is the most pop masterpiece in the history of singer-songwriter Tabito Nanao's career, released in the year marking the 20th anniversary of his debut. While retaining the conscious look and feel of songs such as "Across Africa," which features an African singer and is about the civil war in Mozambique, and "Blue Fish," which was composed in Takae, Okinawa, this album is like a painted letter or bouquet of flowers written for a loved one, with tenderness, strength, and depth, and every song is endlessly pop. Included is the song "Tensha Mae Hibiso," which was broadcast on NHK's Uta for Everyone. As you flip through the picture book CD jacket, you will find your own feelings running through the gem of a melody.

シンガーソングライター・七尾旅人のデビュー20周年イヤーに届けられたキャリア史上最もポップな最高傑作。アフリカ人シンガーを招き、モザンビーク内戦を題材にした「Across Africa」、沖縄高江で作曲された「蒼い魚」など、コンシャスな視線はそのままに、今作はまるで、大切な人のために書き込まれた絵入りの手紙のような、花束のような、優しさ、力強さ、深さをたたえながら、どの曲も果てしなくポップ。NHKみんなのうたでオンエアされた「天まで飛ばそ」も収録。絵本仕様となるCDジャケットをめくりながら、珠玉のメロディに、それぞれの想いが駆け巡る。
