[Commentary on each song by JiLL-Decoy association] 01. Original Love "Primal" (1996) The theme song of the drama that I watched enthusiastically when I was in junior high school. The contradictory depth of love and strength that you feel from the song is expressed with a sense of dynamism. 02. Yumi Matsutoya "DOWN TOWN BOY" (1984) Among Yumin's many famous songs, chihiRo is one of my favorite songs and I wanted to try it someday. You're a specialist who makes you feel refreshed when you can't say that you're positive. The lyrics are very sad and melancholy. On the other hand, as you can see from the title, it is a song that is like a treasure trove of words and depictions that are nostalgic for us, and we put that nostalgia on a light 8-beat. 03. Kirinji "Aliens" (2000) What to do with a masterpiece that has been completely covered ... The great thing about this song and lyrics is that the background and the way the characters are perceived differ depending on the listener and the performer. Moreover, there is something in common among those different interpretations. Such songs are our favorite jazz sound favourites, and we played them with a sound similar to a jazz ballad, with the time signature freely snuggling up to the content of the song. 04. Junko Ohashi "Telephone Number" (1981) At first, I arranged the song a little closer to the original song, but Junko Ohashi said, "It's okay to make it more like JiLL-Deco." It became a happy swing. She was really happy to be able to witness her recording. No matter what the sound, I feel like I'm surrounded by Mr. Ohashi's unchanging singing voice. Nowadays, I rarely have the opportunity to remember the phone number, but remembering the phone number of my favorite person in the past is an important and unforgettable memory. 05. Mariya Takeuchi "Come back, my time" (1978) Personally, I was very sympathetic to the title when I was raising children at the same time. Feeling that my time will come back positively, without force, and hopefully cheerfully. It's such a time, so I played with a Latin funk arrangement with a little more "cheerfulness". 06. Taeko Ohnuki "Urban" (1977) The song title "Urban" is the city shortly before we were born. At the same time as dreaming for the future, there is a place where I grew up admiring adults who are playing at night, creating a slightly decadent atmosphere. After that, when I became an adult and listened to soul and funk music that was popular before I was born, I felt the same admiration for the sound. It is a sound that combines such a longing for the city like JiLL-Deco. 07. yama "Haru wo Tsugeru" (2020) The only song of the younger generation is a cover. I was impressed with the skillfully constructed original sound source that was unthinkable in our generation. We, the generation, will gain momentum as the generation does not turn around! I played with that feeling. Decades ago, how to combine jazz and dance music, how to blend the sounds of digital and live musical instruments, I miss the past of trial and error, and I feel the future of the music that is being transmitted now. 08. Riho Makise "Miracle Love" (1991) This song, which was played in commercials during the youth of our generation, was familiar to us, but we didn't understand the emotions of this song. However, I remembered my youth when I didn't know what was happy and what was a miracle. When I covered it, I listened to it again, but it turned out that it was impossible to understand the goodness of this song in words. While playing at JiLL-Deco's specialty, jazz waltz, I interacted with this song. Perhaps the appeal of this song is that it goes beyond just honest happiness. .. .. 09. Junichi Inagaki "Natsuno Klaxon" (1983) Adults who seem to have fun when they were young. A wonderful song that reminds me of that air. I believe that there should be a constant summer romance in any era. May such sweet and sour romance be repeated in all ages. 10. Minako Yoshida "Hohoni Yoru no Hikari on the Cheeks" (1982) The original is the city pop sound that I think. Just by hearing a part of the lyrics, you will want to think about the warmth of one person, the feelings of a distant person, and the world peace. I hope that such feelings will not be lost. I want you to feel warm in this difficult year.
