BLUE to YELLOW

At the end of 2022, when I was thinking about making plans for next year, I felt a strong sense of mission: ``I have to finish this album!'' The idea of creating an album had been in the works for many years, but now that the end of the coronavirus pandemic was in sight, it felt like it had to be done.
At first, I thought of the album title as ``Positive Nihilism'', but in the end I settled on ``Blue to Yellow'' (Aokara Kiiro). From immature blue to slightly ripe yellow. Be conscious of how you will grow.

It starts with instrumental and the last song is also instrumental. The beginning and end are linked. In addition, only the first song is arranged by a band, and the rest are all simple compositions with only guitar and vocals.
The songs were selected and ordered with the idea that the album would be like a story. It's a so-called concept album. I would like each listener to imagine a different story.

All of the songs included were recorded by professional recording engineer Hideyasu Hatakoshi, who did everything from MIX to mastering. It sounds like a package of ``current'' Fukusuke, and there is no other way to describe it than as expected.
The jacket was designed by Kuusai, a calligraphy artist. The unique worldview is wonderful, and I was looking forward to seeing how Fukusuke's world would be expressed, but it exceeded my expectations by far.
Thank you to Mr. Takemura and Mr. Niiyama of Hakuraku Nap for their cooperation in the recording, and for helping the inexperienced Fukusuke so far.

This album was made possible with the support of various people, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.
