Haruka Kumoi × maco marets release collaboration song "Nanagatsu" from HOTEL DONUTS

The collaborative single “Nanagatsu” by Kumoi Haruka and maco marets will be released on Friday, July 5th.

The two share a commonality in that they share a way of expressing themselves other than through music, with a focus on “words.” In creating this song, they exchanged letters using their respective means of expression (tanka and poetry). Kumoi Haruka wrote a tanka, to which maco marets wrote a poem. In response to that poem, maco marets wrote another tanka. Without providing any commentary on the content, they read the atmosphere that the work exudes and the gaps in the words to weave words together. The feelings that were born from this exchange of letters were incorporated into the song.

The artwork was done by photographer Masa Uemura and photographer and designer Hiroaki Iwaki. The mix was done by BAOBAB MC, and the mastering was done by TSUTCHIE (SHAKKAZOMBIE). The album was curated by the feel-good collective HOTEL DONUTS.

In addition, on July 6th (Sat) and 7th (Sun),shibasaki modA poetry and tanka exhibition and live event “Nanagatsu” will be held at the venue. The exhibition will combine poems and tanka written through correspondence with the photographs of photographer Uemura Masa, and limited edition zines, CDs and T-shirts will also be on sale. On the 6th (Sat) there will be a tanka and poetry reading and talk event, and on the 7th (Sun) there will be a special live performance with fellow rapper Yamada Daisuke. Be sure to check them out.
