Trekkie Trax Crew And Nakamura Minami (Teng Gang Starr) Team Up For “Reiwa”

This is going to be very tired sometime very soon, but let’s savor the genuine thrill of history while it lasts. The Reiwa era is here in Japan, and it was a genuinely cool moment that saw celebrations all over the country and at least one guy somersault onto a boat. Shared moments — pretty neat! To commemorate the change, Trekkie Trax teamed up with Nakamura Minami for a song called “Reiwa” that is all about, well take a guess. A lot of really goofy efforts have been made to either stare longingly back on the Heisei era or try to imagine what Reiwa might be like, but this number just simply celebrates the moment. It’s high energy fun, all hyping up the times to come while waving goodbye to all that happened (with enthusiastic vocal samples cascading behind). Fittingly, this one rings in the new times with pure energy. Get it here, or listen below.

Yet once one gets over the youth behind…

  • New Picnic Women: II Women EP

    Picnic Womenがやってくれました…いや、良い意味でね!彼の最新EP”II Women”のタイトルトラックは、その名の通り、とてもユーモアのあるジュークになっています。この曲ではMariah CareyとBoyz II Menの “One Sweet Day“が使われていて(特にBoyz II Men)、ピッチが下げたり上げたりされています。でも、この”II Women”はただ単に面白いトラックというだけでは無く、Picnic Womenならではの繊細さが光っています。バックで見え隠れするギターがその巧みなギミックのうちの1つで、そのような細かいディテールが、この少し茶目っ気のある曲を音楽としての完成度の高い作品へと変貌させています。更にこのEPは”African”という”II Women”の中だけでなく、Picnic Women史上で最速の曲も収録。Picnic Womenの素晴らしいジューク・コレクションはこちらからどうぞ!.
