Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, which celebrated its 35th anniversary this year, announced that they would release the “NO BORDER Trilogy” for three consecutive months starting in July, and today at the music festival “EIGHT-JAM FES” held at Saitama Super Arena, a member of Skapara announced that SUPER EIGHT would be the guest vocalist for the second installment (August) along with the guest SUPER EIGHT. They also announced that they will release a new song, “Ano Natsu no Aimai ME feat.SUPER EIGHT” (lyrics: Yanaka Atsushi, music: NARGO), on August 8th (Thursday), “Eight Day”.
Since Skapara rearranged SUPER EIGHT’s “Musekinin Hero” from their greatest hits album “GR8EST” released in 2018, the two have deepened their relationship through collaborations at live shows and on TV. We can’t wait for the release of their new song to see what kind of chemistry they will create this time.
[Comment from Atsushi Yanaka of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra]
The first time I met you all was six years ago in 2018.
It was when we rearranged and performed “Irresponsible Hero” together.
I remember that all of us at Skapara were impressed by everyone’s personalities during the music video shoot.
I have always believed that a person’s character is directly connected to their music, and I remember being struck by the realization that it was because of each member’s personalities that SUPER EIGHT’s wonderful musicality was able to shine through.
Skapara is a large group, and we share a lot of the joys and hardships of continuing to be cheerful, so I think we’ve become even closer.
No, I didn’t sense any hardship from them, which made me respect them even more.
Then, when I met SUPER EIGHT, I had a chance to reconsider what a band or a group is, and I put those thoughts into the lyrics of the song.
This time, all the members of Skapara poured their heart out in love for SUPER EIGHT and created a song.
While I was writing the lyrics, I kept the faces of Yokoyama-kun, Murakami-kun, Maruyama-kun, Yasuda-kun, and Okura-kun in my mind, and finished the song at a rapid pace and with great fun.
“Ai-Mai ME of the Summer”, please accept this love.
I love SUPER EIGHT.
[SUPER EIGHT’s Ryuhei Maruyama comment]
We are pleased to announce that we are giving Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra this rare opportunity.
I feel like you all are always there to support us at times when we are at a crossroads.
Up until now, he has participated in numerous collaborations and sessions with us on wonderful songs.
I am happy to be able to create music with Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra again in a different form this time.
Don’t miss this chemical reaction!
I would love for you to listen to it. Thank you!
