about

My best album.

This album is an album of selected tracks from my work from 2017 to now.
I have made over 800 tracks and 130 albums since I started making music in 2017. I decided that I needed an album where I could pass my work to others like a business card. For this reason, I made this album by selecting as many pop and easy to listen to tracks as possible from my vast body of work.

I found this to be a very autobiographical album. There is a reason why each song was inevitable, and then there is a process.
My songs, especially the pop songs, show the course of my life, not the musical reasons. My music has a reason that was for me to live.

I struggled to find a deeper sound to depict my former lover and her death. The never-ending sprint of my life came to an end when I met my wife.
After the birth of my child, my music became my means and my life, as I tried to move forward while stopping in the midst of the hectic and confusing life.
Still, the one thing I always want to come back to is the fact of why I started music in the first place.
If I leave there and stop noticing it, I sometimes feel anxious that I might lose the power to live life to the fullest.

　このアルバムは2017年から今までの僕の作品から選曲したトラックのアルバムである。
　2017年より音楽を作り始めて以来800曲以上のトラックと130以上のアルバムを作ってきた。自分の作品を名刺のように他者へ渡すアルバムが必要だと考えた。そのために膨大な自分の作品から出来る限りポップで聴きやすいトラックを選んでこのアルバムを作った。

　これはとても自伝的なアルバムだ。一つ一つの曲に必然的だった理由があって、それに経過がある。
　僕の曲は、特にポップな曲には音楽的な理由ではなく人生の経過が表れている。僕の音楽には僕が生きるためであった理由がある。
　かつての恋人と恋人の死を描こうと、もがきながらより深く音を探した。終われない疾走が妻との出会いでいったんの収束した。
　子供が生まれ、慌ただしい生活と混乱の中で踏み止まりながら進もうとして、音楽が手段になり、人生となった。
　それでも常に立ち帰りたい根拠は音楽を始めた最初の理由の事実だ。
　そこを離れて気づかなくなってしまったら、一生懸命生きる力を失ってしまいそうな不安を時々感じる。
