It has been announced that Mummy-D will be the third collaborative artist to be included in NakamuraEmi’s seventh major original album “KICKS”, which will be released on May 29th (Wednesday).
It has been announced that there will be three collaboration songs on the album, the first being “Yukimo (feat. Sarasa & Kazuha Izawa)” and the second being “Hello Hello (feat. XinU) – Nakamura Emi & MASSAN x BASHIRY” , and the third song announced this time is “Matsuri (feat.Mummy-D)” in which Mummy-D participated.
Mummy-D is a rapper, sound producer, and control tower in charge of the total direction of the well-known hip-hop group “RHYMESTER.”
NakamuraEmi has repeatedly stated that RHYMESTER is the artist who has had the biggest influence on her current musical style, and they continue to be a special presence as they are the foundation of NakamuraEmi.
“Matsuri”, which was created as a collaboration song, was nominated by Mummy-D, who is also a Kuwana Meister, and is a theme about the charm of the local resources of Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture.
This song was created when Emi Nakamura was appointed as the “charm finder” who is responsible for disseminating information for each market.
The song is a song that expresses the culture and tradition that is passed down from adults to children, and the wish for people to cherish what they feel when they actually see it. Mummy-D’s lyrics and rap overlap with the groove, creating an overwhelming sense of excitement that feels like a festival.
And, keeping the enthusiasm of collaboration intact, Mummy-D will appear as a guest at “Sudden ONEMAN Extra Edition 2024 in Kuwana Special Guest Welcome” which will be held at Kuwana Hoseiji Temple in Kuwana City on Sunday, June 2nd. It has been decided. This will be the first time that Emi Nakamura and Mummy-D will perform together live. The live performance together in Kuwana City that connected the two is a must-see.
Furthermore, it has been decided that “Matsuri (feat. Mummy-D)” will be aired for the first time on J-WAVE (81.3FM) “STEP ONE” (9:00-13:00) on May 8th (Wednesday). . Don’t miss the collaboration filled with passion between Emi Nakamura and Mummy-D!
“KICKS” is currently accepting reservations at various CD shops.
Each CD shop has its own special offer, and Columbia Music Shop is also accepting pre-orders for a set of original T-shirts and CDs/LPs, which are limited edition items only available here.
In-store events will be held at Tower Records Shibuya store on May 29th, the album release date, Tower Records NU Chayamachi store in Osaka, and Tower Records Nagoya Parco store in Nagoya on June 1st, so please check out the NakamuraEmi official website. Don’t forget to check the latest information on SNS.
[Comment from Emi Nakamura]
My life changed from the day I heard RHYMESTER’s music. He is such a huge person to me that I couldn’t even think of “someday making music together”. One day, I received an offer to serve as an ambassador for Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture, as a “charm finder.” The person who recommended it was Mummy-D. Through this opportunity, I came into contact with Kuwana’s festivals, history, people, and land, and fell in love with its charm. Then, I had drinks with everyone from Kuwana and Mr. D and talked about various things. Ah, I thought, I need to turn this precious time into music, not memories.
Just as I took the baton from Mr. D, there are young people and children across the country who are trying to pass on culture, history, and tradition. In this world where we see and hear so many things, it is very difficult to take care of what we want to protect. I would be happy if the sounds of Mummy-D, Emi Nakamura, Kazuyo Izawa, and Hiroshi Kawamura could be your leading voice, so that your beat would always ring out. Thank you to everyone in Kuwana and Ishidori Festival for supporting me!
[Mummy-D comment]
Emi-chan may have intended to collaborate with her idol Paisen, but my perception is different. Even though she is the world’s most casual rapper who has collaborated with all kinds of musicians, your lyrics and singing voice are precious. Especially recently! It’s growing! I’m growing taller! Wahahahaha!
Basically, I wanted to be featured. He was waiting to be eaten. Adults are cunning. However, I didn’t want to disillusion Emi, who had been a fan since her debut, so I put a lot of effort into it. She tried not to look like that, but she might have been found out.
As a result, I ended up with a song that I really like. It was quite difficult to make the festival and the message coexist, but I think they were able to achieve a miraculous balance. Hiroshi Kawamura and Kazuyo Izawa were also outstanding. And above all, I truly respect the artist Nakamura Emi. I try not to look like that, but it might be obvious.
