Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s 35th anniversary KICK OFF song “Fighting the Wind Blues feat. TAKUMA (10-FEET)” was released on May 6th.
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.” “No!” and “It’s 180 degrees different from previous collaborations…! It’s fresh, but it’s nostalgic, and there’s a passion that shakes the soul,” as well as comments from fans who haven’t heard the song yet. Expectations were high for this song as it was different from 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 has also been released, and you can imagine the content of the MV a little more than the teaser video Vol.1.
The music video will be premiered on May 10th at 8pm. Ska Para members will also be participating in the comments, so let’s look forward to it until then.
Additionally, a comment 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 view.

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!
