Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s KICK OFF song “Kaze ni Fighting Blues feat. TAKUMA (10-FEET)”, which celebrates the 35th anniversary of their debut, has been released for distribution today, May 6th (Monday).
Fans who heard the song on the radio even before the distribution started said, “I’m sure I’ve heard TAKUMA’s voice many times, both as 10-FEET and as a tag team member of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, but it’s nothing like my usual singing voice.” “It’s 180 degrees different from previous collaborations…! It’s fresh, but it’s also nostalgic, and it has a passion that shakes the soul.” We received comments such as “It’s 180 degrees different from previous collaborations…! It’s fresh, but it’s also nostalgic, and there’s a passion that shakes the soul.” Expectations were high as it was a different song from the collaboration songs.
If you’re curious about what kind of song it is, you can listen to it on various music subscription services and distribution sites, so be sure to check it out.
Teaser video Vol.2 was also released today, and you can imagine the content of the MV a little more than the teaser video Vol.1.
The music video will be premiered at 8pm on Friday, May 10th, and Ska Para members will also be participating in the comments, so let’s look forward to it until then.
Additionally, a comment has arrived from Atsushi Yanaka (Baritone sax), who was in charge of writing the lyrics.
If you listen to the song along with Yanaka’s comments, you may be able to see a new perspective.
Regarding the release of “Fighting the Wind Blues feat.TAKUMA(10-FEET)”
What season comes after youth?
Since I was young, I wasn’t very good at summer when I let my emotions run wild.
I thought it would be cool to look mature and take a walk along the empty autumn beach.
Throughout my life, I have made many friendships with many people.
I have tried my best to be with you,
Although I may have gone too far, I believe that I have poured all the love I can into him.
However, there were some promises that I couldn’t keep or realize.
It will be remembered for decades. I will never forget it.
That I couldn’t meet your expectations,
A last-minute promise that doesn’t amount to betrayal even if you don’t keep it.
On the contrary, this strengthens the bond with the other person.
I don’t want to have any regrets, but with those regrets, I turned my back on everyone in the autumn when my youth was gone.
I think it’s important to spend time alone staring at the ocean.
This time, with my favorite TAKUMA, with whom I have shared memories in various scenes,
I am very happy that I was able to combine my thoughts and create a single work.
Resonating with each other = living. I can only thank you for your wonderful singing.
Thank you TAKUMA!
Atsushi Yanaka (Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra)
