Soooo Blue is my 19th single. This single contains two songs. First song, Soooo Blue's genres are Folk rock / Singer-songwriter. The mood is Sad and the styles are Acoustic / Ballad. 81 BPM. I wanted to create a love song that is as atmospheric and modern as possible. Therefore, I referenced Beck SEA CHANGE. I was most influenced by that. I've been creating music all by myself in my room, and I don't really go out of the house very often, But I dream of falling in love with someone someday. I expressed my imaginary love with this song. Second song, Catch The Sun is an uplifting song. The genres are Folk rock / Singer-songwriter. The mood is Happy and the style is Holiday with laid-back groove. 111 BPM. I was most influenced by The Byrds. Vocal harmony reminiscent of bands from the 60s and 70s what was created by overdubbing the main melody is the highlight. I want the audience to listen to both songs when they have time to relax, such as before going to bed. I want the audience to enjoy the acoustics of both songs, so I would like them to use speakers or headphones.
THE BOY is the solo project of a Japanese singer-songwriter Akihisa Ota, born in 1985. He started his musical career in 2002. In 2002, when he was 17 years old, he began writing original songs using guitar and piano and recording them using a 4-track recorder. From the beginning, he has been creating music and doing all other work by himself at his parents' home in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, and that hasn't changed to this day. His distinctive feature is that he creates a wide variety of music without being bound by genre. He began applying for various auditions when he was around 20 years old, and began performing live in his late 20s, based in Nagoya. During this time, he also experienced his dream of performing live in New York, where he performed at a small festival and was asked for an encore for the first time in his life. However, in his early 30s, he developed epilepsy in addition to the mental illness he had been suffering from, and was forced to give up live performances. Since then, he has focused his activities on promotion and distribution via the Internet.
