With the rise of CERO and LUCKY TAPES, the younger generation is experiencing a revival of "shibuya-kei" music. It is difficult to single out one genre as a whole, but some of the most representative artists are The Flipper's Guitar and Schadaraparr.
Pizzicato Five, led by Yasuhiro Konishi, was the group at the center of this movement and was active worldwide. Since its breakup, Konishi has been active as a music producer and DJ, and we have caught the latest information on his solo project "Pizzicato One.
Pizzicato One at billboard LIVE," a one-man live concert held last year for the first time in four years, became a hot topic. A live recording of the Tokyo and Osaka performances, "eve Pizzicato One in Persuasion," will be released on June 24 (Wed.). This time, Konishi himself handles the vocals. He performed his favorite songs, mainly from the repertoire of his Pizzicato Five days, arranged for this live performance. The band is supported by such a splendid lineup that Konishi says, "This will be the first and last time we will perform with this formation.
The appeal of a live album is that you can enjoy the expanse of sound and the sense of presence that only a venue can provide. How are the songs that we are familiar with reborn, and how did that deep voice sound at the venue? The release of the album is about a month away. It is tempting to want to listen to it right now, but let's turn that feeling into anticipation and wait until the release date.
