Lyric

Shunsuke Fukuzaki is a Japanese artist. He has participated as an actor in various works such as movies, dramas, and narrations. In recent years, he has expanded the range of his activities as an artist who not only performs but also produces films, documentaries, commercials, etc. regardless of genre.

This work "Teru Teru Bouzu" is Shunsuke Fukuzaki's first song. Regarding the process of creating this song, Shunsuke Fukuzaki said "Around the spring of 2021, while I was sitting in a daze, the melody and lyrics of this song suddenly came to me like inspiration. After that, I took a note of the song so I wouldn't forget it, and I recorded it using the voice memo app."

Teru Teru Bozu is a Japanese traditional doll made by white paper or something. Japanese people pray for good weather and not rain by the doll.

Shunsuke started arranging the song with a famous Japanese composer Denkyu. Shunsuke believes that minimalism can achieve something pure and authentic. So this song was made with minimalistic structure as if it is like making a Teru Teru Bozu.

The lyrics say "~teru, ~teru". In English, it means "~ing, ~ing". Shunsuke used this verb to create the lyrics, "A person or a desire itself is wanting something". Desire is human nature and rain is nature. He linked the meaning to something like, "I want to stop my desire, but it's as natural as rain". Usually, most Japanese songs are written in Hiragana and Kanji. However, this song is written in the old traditional Japanese writing style using katakana and kanji.

The desires of a person standing alone on a rainy night street move as if in an awkward dance. Sexy and impulsive, the minimalist melody and vocals express desire and exist as naturally as rain. It is a word that is common throughout the world.

In the spring of 2022, exactly one year after the inspiration for the song came to his mind, recording was completed and the song was completed. The release comes about three years after the production of the song began, and Shunsuke Fukuzaki's commitment to it is hidden in it. Release date is March 16th. The length of the song is 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Shunsuke Fukuzaki's birthday is March 16th.

At the same time as the release of the song, a minimalistic music video with a strong message is also scheduled to be released. He played most of the roles in this music video, including directing and starring.
