Electro-Bright: Seira Kariya’s “Colorful World”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Electro-pop Singer/songwriter Seira Kariya captured a modest bit of attention last year with the song “Nobi Nobi Style,” a mid-tempo sigh of a disco song with a pretty sticky hook. Yet on “Colorful World,” her newest single officially out in June, Kariya embraces big bright pop without hesitation, letting go and delivering a dizzying number. Helping with the arrangement is Tobinai Masahiro (better known as Masamusic) and handling production is a member of Tokyo outfit Give Me Wallets (remember this gem, also produced by Give Me Wallets?), but Kariya brings it to life via her lyrics, delivered in a slightly reserved style in the verses…but bursting open into warm-summer-day wonder come that chorus, the finest she’s delivered yet. Listen above.

    The beat had me sweating when this opened up. Haruruinu Love Dog Tenshi is another artist coming up from web-centric indie communities to more exposure, and the subdued mood of early releases appeared to be tossed out the window with those opening rumbles and the general “It G Ma” rehash of it all. But thankfully…

  • New mus.hiba: “Slow Snow”

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    私たちがmus.hibaに興味を持ったきっかけは彼の”Magical Fizzy Drink“というトラック。ボーカロイドという、キャラクターをシンセサイザーのように操り歌わせるプログラムを曲に使ったのが実験的かつ印象的でした。彼は雪歌ユフというボーカロイドを使っているのですが、ありのままでは不可能な、個性的な使い方が面白いです。”Slow Snow”という新曲にもまた細部に至るまでこだわりが。”Magical Fizzy Drink”では様々な音色が左右に飛び交い、暗くも暖かい雰囲気を演出していたのですが、”Slow Snow”ではそのような物は逆に陰に潜み、キラキラしたシンセが前へと出てきています。メインの音色は瞬間的なピッチ・ベンドによる、まるで波紋のようなエフェクトが掛かっていて、輝かしい世界から一瞬現実に取り戻されるような、一筋縄ではいかない工夫が施されています。雪歌ユフの声も凍えるような寒さの中マフラーを介して歌っているような、少し冷たく、くもっているような印象。途中でピッチが変わり、曲の流れを上手く展開させていく手助けをしたりも。この組み合わせが不思議と不気味さを演出しています。試聴は以下から。 引き続き「雪」というテーマを追求しているmus.hibaは、Singing In The Snowという、雪歌ユフをフィーチャーした冬／クリスマスがテーマのコンピレーションアルバムにて更なる新曲を発表するみたいです。”hidamari”という曲で、一部分だけ試聴できますが、フルで発表されるのを楽しみに待つのも良いかもしれませんね。ここで情報を読む事ができますよ。

(Note, don’t sign me up) Michiyo Honda steps away from the dance-centric side she’s been exploring on her last few monthly singles, this time opting for feather-floaty easy-breeziness. Honda constructs an aural hammock using electro-bleeps alongside some keyboard, her voice pitched to be just as…
