fragile

"Shikisai Puzzle", a post-rock shoegaze band with VJ as a member, which was suspended in 2017.
"MoA" is a new musical expression output by Shuntaro Tsukui, who played a central role in the band as the guitarist / composer.
Breaking the silence of four years after the suspension of activities of Shikisai Puzzle, he started as a solo project with the announcement of this work "fragile".

This work "fragile" is a song with a tempo full of sprinting, based on 5 beats, and a clear layer play of the heavy guitar woven by Tsukui himself.
While each instrument has a post-rock tricky approach, the melody line is very catchy, and with the powerful and delicate singing expression by Nagisa (aoie us fear) appointed as guest vocal, it naturally remains in the ear. It is also a point that it is a specification.
With this calculated ensemble, it is sublimated into a comfortable sound image as a song that can be called "J-pop" without any discomfort even if it is in 5 beats.

The lyrics are written by Chie Nishizuka (ex. Egw Eimi).
It depicts a wandering between the "inner world of oneself" and the "outer world of others", which is overflowing with various information, fluctuating even the standards of good and evil, and being lost.
The lyrics include a re-examination of oneself in the information society, and the question "how to live" on top of that, which shakes the listeners' hearts with a powerful performance.
Although it is a serious lyric expression, there is also a sound play of words that you will notice for the first time when you listen, such as "Where did you make a mistake?" "But the city changes", combined with Tsukui's layered expression of the geometric sound image. , It has been established as a very musical work.

By taking over the basics of post-rock / electronica / shoegaze, which were expressed in the Shikisai puzzle, and becoming a solo, Tsukui's own guitar play with even higher purity is studded, and the innovative pop, alternative J-pop is "moA". It sounds in the name of.
