"Singing and Playing Festival 2024" - Takamasa Suzuki
In the fall of 2024, at dusk during a festival that was held all day.
Takamasa Suzuki performed a guitar and singing stage.
The color of the sky as the sun sets, the temperature of the wind slowly changing.
The music resonates because it is simple, capturing the atmosphere of the place.
In addition to the original songs, Mizue Takada's "Onna Tomodachi" is also covered.
A live recording packed with the sense of unity with the audience and the atmosphere unique to festivals.
Please enjoy it slowly with the lingering afterglow of the evening.
Explanation of each song
1. Conversation
This song starts quietly, with an impressive margin of words. In the slightly sad atmosphere of dusk, the song and guitar speak. There is something that resonates precisely because it is the time approaching the end of the day.
2. Wilderness Bar
A bitter song that feels like a dry wind blowing through. Perfect for autumn dusk, when it starts to get a little chilly. A melancholic atmosphere, like a bar where a traveler might drop in.
3. Polka Dot Air
A song with an intense guitar and a fleeting yet warm melody. The sun sets and the lights of the festival sway in the dim light.
4. SSS
A song with heat hidden within its simplicity. The guitar resonates on a stage filled with a quiet sense of tension at the end of the evening. Transience and strength intertwine, imprinting something in the hearts of the listeners.
5. Onna Tomodachi (Takada Mizue / written by Tsutsumi Kyohei and Matsumoto Takashi) A reinterpretation of a classic song from the 70s with just one guitar. The lyrics and melody resonate in the midst of a slightly sad wind on an autumn evening. A cover that cherishes the delicacy of the original while also adding her own color.
6. Conversation (Encore)
As the festival draws to a close, "Conversation" is played again. Unlike the first song, it resonates under the sky as it changes from dusk to night. It's a song that quietly leaves a lingering impression, like an end credits.
