Description

[Machine Translation] One year after their long-selling cover album "Onkyo Chishin" and one year and five months after their second album "Serious Idiot", the Nippon ska band What's Love? One year and five months after their second album, "Serious Idiot," the Nippon ska band that makes men cry and women dance, What's Love? After a tumultuous period of the disappearance of their label from a major record company, the departure of the original members, and the addition of new members, "What's Love? It has been a year since their last cover album, "Onkyo Chishin" ( 2003.03.05 ), and a year and a half since their original album, "Serious Idiot" ( 2003.10.23 ), during which time the music scene has been changing in a dizzying way. However, "Onkyo Chishin" has been a quiet long seller, steadily increasing in sales after its humble start and recording a custom order poke in December of last year, nine months after its release. The band also toured local festivals and live houses in Tokyo, and participated in several compilation albums. The band has been searching for a new sound style, including a new bassist, Yosuke Kawachi, and supporting members. At the end of last year, the album "Bynara" was completed at once. The name "Bynara" is Seiroku Saito for those who are in their thirties or older, but it has nothing to do with the music. Of course, it does not mean that the band is breaking up. The seemingly backward title of the song is a positive departure song, "Sayonara to the person I was until yesterday. The fact that it is "bye-bye" and not "sayonara" is what makes "What's Love? The song "Bye Bye Nara" is more gentle than ever, and although it is a song in an authentic manner, Matsumoto's guitar and singing clearly stamps "What's Love? While paying respect to the authenticity of the music, it does not inherit it as it is, but reconstructs it in the style of "What's Love? The album as a whole features more mid-tempo songs that are easier to listen to than ever before, and the bass reggae phrases give the album a more robust impression. Even the ska-core style songs have a slower tempo and a bass-heavy finish. The many guest musicians are now limited to the members who perform live together, and cover songs have been eliminated, giving the album a more intimate feel created only among friends and a simpler, more accessible feel.

バイナラ / What's Love?

ロングセールスを記録するカバーアルバム「温故知新」から1年。セカンドアルバム「本気の馬鹿」から1年と5ヶ月、男を泣かせ、女を踊らすニッポンのスカバンド、What's Love?が遂にオリジナルサードアルバムをリリース!!★メジャーレコード会社内のレーベルの消滅、オリジナルメンバーの脱退と新加入という激動の時期を経て、自身のレーベルより新たな旅立ちとなる"What's Love?"が、サードアルバム「バイナラ」をリリースする。前作になるカバーアルバム「温故知新」(2003.03.05)から一年、オリジナルアルバムの「本気の馬鹿」(2003.10.23)からは1年半が過ぎ、その間にも音楽シーンは目紛らわしく変わり続けた。ところが、「温故知新」は、地味なスタートから着実にセールスを伸ばし、9ヶ月が過ぎた昨年12月に習慣オーダーのポークを記録するという静かなロングセラーとなっている。バンドも地方のフェスティバルや都内のライブハウスを廻りつつ、数枚のコンピレーションアルバムに参加。新ベーシストの河内洋祐とサポートメンバー達を含め、新たなサウンドスタイルを模索してきた。そして昨年末に一気に仕上げられたアルバムがこの「バイナラ」である。「バイナラ」といえば三十代以上にとっては斉藤清六であるが、曲とは何の関係も無い。もちろんバンドが解散するわけでもない。一見後ろ向きなタイトルは「昨日までの自分にサヨウナラ」という全くポジティブな旅立ちの唄だ。まぁ「サヨナラ」ではなく「バイナラ」なところが"What's Love?"の"What's Love?"たる所以か。その「バイナラ」は今までになく穏やかで、オーセンティックマナーな曲なのに、松本のギターと唄がシッカリと"What's Love?"を刻印している。オーセンティックスに敬意を払いつつ、それをそのまま継承することはなく、"What's Love?"流のスカ、ここ日本でしか成り立たないスカとして再構築している。アルバム全体では今までになくミドルテンポで聴きやすい曲が増え、ベースのレゲエフレーズがドッシリとした印象を与えている。スカコア調の曲ですら、テンポを落とし低音重視な仕上がりだ。今まで多かったゲストミュージシャンも、ライブを共にするメンバーだけにとどめ、カバー曲も排し、仲間内だけで作り上げられた親密感と、よりシンプルに出来ることだけ
