Blame It on Someone Else (in Uchinada Coast)

The 21st single of the 30-consecutive-single release project: "Dokkanodarekanoseinisite" (Blame It on Someone Else).

Tooru Kobayashi, a singer-songwriter who travels all over Japan in his self-made mobile house with an acoustic bass, delivers his 21st single of the 30-consecutive-single release project.

This track is a self-cover re-recording of a fan-favorite song originally included in his past album "DEMO Vol,7.5", reborn with his refined musicianship and deep vocal expression.

[Background and Story]
For Tooru Kobayashi, who travels across the nation bringing music to everyday people, encountering new people also means facing the painful reality of parting ways. Among all the places he has visited, the Hokuriku region in Japan held a special place where he felt the weight of fleeting connections and lost bonds. This song was originally written in Hokuriku born from those bittersweet emotions.

Returning to those roots, he brought his recording equipment and custom acoustic bass directly onto the sandy beach of Uchinada Coast in Ishikawa Prefecture. He recorded this song in a single live take outdoors, capturing the natural sound of crashing waves and the ocean breeze. The rich low end of his acoustic bass and his warm, soulful vocals embrace the sadness of lost memories, creating a vivid acoustic documentary track.

[An Anthem of Escape and Comfort]
Living in a world full of harsh realities, personal weaknesses, and regret, this song offers gentle comfort rather than empty ideals. "Blame it on someone else, blame it all on that, and just laugh with me for today."

In a modern society demanding perfection, this blues-infused acoustic anthem gives you permission to pause, let go of your burdens, and laugh through the pain.
