Description

[Machine Translation] Yukihiro Takahashi has finally released his 23rd original album "LIFE ANEW," four years after his last album! This album is a new step forward for Yukihiro Takahashi, who has passed the "60th birthday year," and has fully embraced the band sound. The sound is composed of a fixed band of strong musicians, including Yukihiro Takahashi on drums and vocals, James Iha on guitar, Kei Takakuwa (Curly Giraffe) on bass, Hirohisa Horie on keyboards, and Gondoh Tomohiko on euphonium and other wind instruments. The band is composed of James Iha, who released his first solo album in 14 years last year, and also came to Japan from New York to record the album with the band. This is the first time Yukihiro Takahashi has recorded an entire album with a fixed band. The album is a rock album that focuses on the chemistry that can only be created by these band members, and is not a rehash of the past, but rather a rock album that is infused with Yukihiro Takahashi's unique aesthetic and world view. [Yukihiro Takahashi (drums & vocals), James Iha (guitar & chorus), Kei Takakuwa (Curly Giraffe / bass & chorus), Hirohisa Horie (keyboards & chorus), Tomohiko Gondo (euphonium & chorus)

LIFE ANEW / 高橋幸宏

高橋幸宏が、前作より4年ぶり23枚目となるオリジナル・アルバム『LIFE ANEW』を遂にリリース!! 本作は、"還暦イヤー" を越え、高橋幸宏の新たな一歩を踏み出す音作りとしてバンド・サウンドを全面に打ち出した作品。ドラム&ヴォーカルの高橋幸宏を中心に、ギターにJames Iha、ベースに高桑圭 (Curly Giraffe)、キーボードに堀江博久、ユーフォニウムをはじめとする管楽器にゴンドウトモヒコという強者どもによる固定バンドがそのサウンドを固める。昨年、14年ぶりとなる2ndソロ・アルバム発表し、話題を呼んだJames Ihaも、ニューヨークより来日し、バンドレコーディングを敢行。James Iha含め、全てのメンバーが、作曲や作詞をも担当する充実した内容。アルバム全曲が固定のバンドのみでレコーディングされた作品は高橋幸宏としては初の試みとなる。このバンドメンバーだからこそ、生まれるケミストリーに注目し、過去の焼き増しではない、高橋幸宏の独自の美学や世界観が貫かれたロック・アルバムが完成! <バンドメンバー> 高橋幸宏 (ドラム&ヴォーカル)、James Iha (ギター&コーラス)、高桑圭 (Curly Giraffe / ベース&コーラス)、堀江博久 (キーボード&コーラス)、ゴンドウトモヒコ (ユーフォニウム&コーラス)

      YUKIHIRO SAN GETS BETTER EVERY YEAR! 5

      Amazing new album by Mr. Takahashi! Nearly every song on this work is a hit. I'm following Yukihiro since the early 80's and I must admit that he can still thrill me with his music. So 'Thank you for the music' and keep on playing for the next decades!!

      Great new album 4

      Excellent new album from Yukihiro, his best in years. Almost every song is a pop gem, he dropped the glitch-fi of previous albums for a more oriented "classic" pop production, and it suits the songs here very well. It's very refreshing that this gentleman goes on churning out great pop albums after all these years, and I hope he'll do many more still. Highly recommended.
