"629", a composer unit consisting of Masanobu Fujita and Ryo Hoshino, proudly releases "Repechage," a collection of hidden gems brought to the world after 25 years.
Active since around 2000, the duo has provided numerous J-POP songs to a wide range of top artists, including Tomohisa Yamashita, AKB48, and BRIGHT. Their signature sound is characterized by a deep groove and melodic sense, heavily influenced by 70s Soul and Funk legends like The Isley Brothers.
This album features fully rearranged versions of unreleased tracks originally created around 2000 that were unfortunately rejected at the time. True to its title, "Repechage" (meaning a second chance), the duo has breathed new life into these songs-the "crystals of sweat and tears" from their youth. Please enjoy the soulful pop music unique to 629, where the passion of the past and the sophistication of the present are seamlessly blended.
Artist Profile
629
629 is a J-Pop composer unit that has been active since the early 2000s. Over the past quarter-century, we have been at the heart of the J-Pop scene, creating music for a wide range of artists and organizations, including Tomohisa Yamashita, AKB48, Minami Takahashi, BRIGHT, All Japan Pro Wrestling, and the official anthem for the B.League Yamagata Wyverns. Having witnessed the evolution of J-Pop firsthand for 25 years, we have seen music production technology advance dramatically, finally allowing us to achieve the arrangements we originally envisioned but could not technically realize at the time. With the current resurgence of City Pop and Y2K culture, we felt it was the perfect moment to revisit our "lost" tracks. We have been re-arranging and digitally releasing these songs, breathing new life into compositions that remained unreleased until now. Though these tracks were once shelved, they remain precious to us, like our own children. We truly hope that the current era will resonate with the music we poured our hearts into.
