Kagaya’s Souya Kaya reveals his feelings for Ajikan’s “New World”! “It’s just a wonderful song. I have a lot of feelings for it.”

■The YouTube program project “B-side”, which focuses on comedians’ “music-loving parts”, has started on “monogatary.com”!

The novel submission site “monogatary.com” has launched a new project, “The B-Sides,” which focuses on the “B-Sides” of entertainers who love music.

“monogatary.com” is a novel posting site where you can freely post “stories” in response to “themes” given by the management every day, and you can have fun adding various reactions such as adding illustrations and comments. It is also known that YOASOBI, a unit that “turns novels into music,” was born from “Monocon 2019,” a contest sponsored by the site in the past.

■What is “Side B”?
The words A-side/B-side are no longer heard.

This was born out of the fact that in the past, in analog single records, the main song to be sold was listed as the A side, and the accompanying coupling song was listed as the B side, but the coupling song included songs that were actually what the artist really wanted to do. There are cases where there is something you want to express.

“B-Side” is a YouTube program project that delves into the essence of comedians from a different angle by focusing on the “B-side” of comedians who usually focus on comedy, and their love of music.

We broadcast a YouTube program where we interview people about their thoughts and stories about a certain song each time. In the first installment, scheduled to be released in early 2025, Soya Kaya from Kagaya will appear and talk about his thoughts on ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s song “New World.”

■We are looking for episodes from the general public on “monogatary.com”!
“monogatary.com” is soliciting thoughts and stories about ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s “New World” from the general public. Some of the posted episodes will be introduced and discussed on the YouTube program “Kagaya Kaya no B Side” scheduled to be distributed in early 2025. Please come and join us.

■Kagaya/Soya Kaya Comment
“World World World” is a great album. I listened to it completely when I was in high school. I think many of my friends have listened to it. “New World” is the last song on the album. A song that will make you immerse yourself in the world of Ajikan and bring you back to the real world with a positive attitude. The best. There are days when I listen to this song and it cheers me up, and other days it brings me to tears. It’s a song that reminds me of when I first started, and it’s also a song that pushes me to take on new challenges. Anyway, nice song. I have a lot of memories. I definitely sing at karaoke. It’s really good. Please let us know your thoughts on the “new world”! With a lot of subjectivity!
