Kokyu

"Kokyu" is about my life, and I have a special feeling about this song. Music has always been a part of my life. I challenged what would happen if I express myself with this song. Most of the time I come up with songs as a result of practice rather than deliberately producing music. This song is a kind of trial to see what I can create when I confront the task of music creation. "Kokyu" has a simple musical structure but also difficulty which requires nuances of strength and weakness. Just tracing tabs is not enough to complete it as a song, you must play it loudly to highlight the melody. On the other hand, if you go all out to play the first verse, the chorus will lack excitement. It's important to keep it down until you reach the first chorus, that is also a difficulty of this song. At first glance, it sounds like this song develops simply until the chorus, but in fact it is jammed with small techniques. The accumulation of subtle techniques for sound production enhances the excitement of the chorus. This song is committed to play as decided from the beginning to the end. I change the picking intensity and make it soft or hard according to its music development. Otherwise, it will not be completed to play until the end. Listening to this song, you might feel different from me. But if you could treasure what you feel, the pleasure is mine. The music video was also perfect. Hope you can watch to the end. When "Kokyu" was completed, I felt that my guitar solo career had reached a goal and a kind of burned out. Now I am ready to move on to next step in order to further improve all my techniques.
