[Machine Translation] Singer-songwriter KURAUCHI Futoshi is a combination of strength and instability, passion and lyricism, youth and neurosis. He wrote the lyrics, sang, performed, recorded, and mixed everything on his new album! With acoustic guitar at the center, various chorus works and collages of various sounds, Kurauchi Futoshi's third full-length album "Paper Drive" is completed. Words (poems) are prescriptions beyond meaning. Melodies are a phantom hope, and sounds are a small lifeline. A delusional literature that goes back and forth between this side and that side, a pop and unstable soundtrack of the brain created by a lone beatnik. The album begins with the words, "I'm going to make a new song, just like the first time I made a song. Kurauchi's music expresses memories, smells, textures, pain, laughter, and loneliness as if for the first time. Laughing at the seriousness, loving the despair. M-02, a beautiful chorus work like a hymn with multiple recordings, which can be described as a one-man Beach Boys; M-3, a soliloquy with acoustic guitar like a real gun "Bonnie & Clyde"; M-06, a strange reggae song with a working-class outsider feel; and M-07, a song about "Don't heal your disease, it's broken, a failure to live. The album includes M-3, a soliloquy like "Bonnie & Clyde," M-06, a working-class outsider's strange reggae song, and M-9, a fantastic song with a vague declaration of determination, sung as "Don't fix the disease, it's broken, it's a failure to live. Tai Otsuka Kurauchi wrote the lyrics, sang and performed the music, and recorded and mixed the entire album. 43 minutes and 55 seconds of innocent, sentimental, strange world. My third album "Paper Drive" is ready! It was recorded over 3 months, and I recorded something every day from February to April 2014. Lots of choruses, drumming, maracas waving, singing, singing, switching guitars, and working hard on the piano. I was in a good mood or a bad mood, but I just kept going to the microphone. It was a great discovery for me that once I started recording and getting into the music, it was always the most interesting part of the day. In addition to recording in the studio, I also recorded at home, in the city, and at my part-time job. It may sound as if I created the whole thing by myself, but it was a hell of a lot more than that. I had musicians, photographers, friends, and my brother listen to the tracks and give me feedback and encouragement as I worked on them. Each track was like a treasure, and I was very careful with my equipment. The mixing of each track was just as painstaking as the performance itself, until I was satisfied with the final product.
