The 14th installment of the "30 Consecutive Single Release Project" by bass-singing singer-songwriter Tooru Kobayashi!
"Ima ga, (in Yatsuo Core Industrial Park)" is a re-recorded digital single of a fan-favorite track originally featured on his past work "DEMO Vol,7.5", which was also featured in a television commercial on KNB (Kitanippon Broadcasting).
This song was recorded on location at the "Yatsuo Core Industrial Park Observation Deck" in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture. Set against an open panorama overlooking the Toyama Plain and majestic mountain ranges, this track was recorded in a single live acoustic take featuring only Tooru Kobayashi's vocals and his signature custom instrument, the "Bagui" (an acoustic bass-guitar hybrid). The deep, resonance-rich bass of the Bagui and his emotionally charged vocal style capture the serene natural atmosphere and crisp open-air breeze, creating an authentic warmth and realistic sense of presence.
[About the Song]
A heartfelt love song that straightforwardly celebrates the preciousness of the present moment and vows eternal devotion to a loved one.
Starting with the uplifting and memorable line, "Right now is the most fun, right now shines the brightest, right now is the most precious, the best time of all," the lyrics depict the warmth of a touch, a lightning-like surge of emotion in the heart, and a tender love that has grown silently over time.
With strong, reassuring lines like "I am no longer alone, so I will never leave you alone," this song delivers a powerful message of deep bond connecting past, present, and future - a supreme acoustic track that gently embraces the listener's heart.
