I am well aware that the word "one and only" should not be used lightly, but I think that is the only way to describe this person.
I am talking about Shintaro Sakamoto. He is a true musician with many followers in Japan and abroad. The music video for his new single "Little Boat (Boat)" has just been released.
The song "Boat," which is the first new song written by Sakamoto in about three years, has a slow, wavering melody, but it is the lyrics that are the focus of attention in Shintaro Sakamoto's music. The lyrics are clear and simple, with nothing superfluous. The beauty of the lyrics is indescribable.
The music video was created based on the image of the song, with Shintaro Sakamoto himself creating the material and directing the music video, which was edited and completed by his ally, "VIDEOTAPEMUSIC".
The guest vocalist is Edai Kouma, vocalist and guitarist of the Himeji-based band "Edaimaakon. His clear vocals, which have a somewhat ethereal quality, are perfectly suited to the music.
With a US tour in October and a domestic tour starting in November, this album will be released on 7inch vinyl and digital distribution on Wednesday, August 28. Fans will be happy to know that the band has been very active in recent years.
