Melodies of Hachinohe, which captured the feelings of diving into Tokyo at the age of 18, leaving my hometown Hachinohe behind, has been reimagined with a rock sound.
While the lyrics remain the same, we have boldly changed the melody and arrangement to express the original feelings-the hesitation, the struggles, and the soaring heartbeat-with greater power.
The shock of seeing the massive crowds and the dazzling neon lights for the first time in Tokyo, the nostalgia for the hometown scenery and festivals-you can now feel that heat and emotion with an intensity completely different from the original song.
For those who discover this story through the new rock version, we highly encourage you to also listen to the original Melodies of Hachinohe. You will be able to experience the light and shadow of the same narrative through the two contrasting tracks.
Within a distant memory, there is the image of my younger self from junior high to high school, who was interested in writing lyrics and composing music, and who was creating songs. I write down poems in a notebook and, while checking the scale of the melodies in my head on the Electone, am turning them into sheet music. At that time, I harbored no small desire for someone to listen to the songs I had completed, but I did not know how to make that happen. That said, I do not think I was all that serious about it. Somewhere deep in my heart, I had a vague feeling that real songs existed only in the world beyond the television and were somehow unrelated to me. After that, I began working as a company employee, and music gradually became something I merely listened to. After becoming a working adult, I was increasingly distanced from music as time was taken up by work, social obligations, and other interests that emerged. Still, somewhere deep in my heart, my feelings for music never truly disappeared. Recently, as I have gradually found more free time, I have begun to want to create music again and finally have someone listen to it. While there may still be many immature aspects in terms of the completeness of my songs and technical skills, I put my heart into the production. I would be very happy if even a little of my work resonates with you. Thank you very much for your support.
