I had saved the piano intro riff of this song as an idea for many years.
I decided to create a band to play my song as the main part of the band and decided to make it into a song.
The lyrics are about the movie Interstellar.

Lyrics
The high white 5th dimensional door is silent
I can't hear you, you're a ghost, feel it, feel it

It was you back then.
If only I'd known it was you...
I ran out of the room

The voice became a clock and started moving
The voice became a clock and started moving

I'm transported to the farthest reaches of the universe
I keep shouting my name, I can't hear you, I can't hear you

I turn my head to the wind that's tapping on the window
I'm not afraid anymore

The voices started to move like clockwork
The voice became a clock and it began to move

You were smiling through your tears You were smiling through your cheeks

When the wind tapped on the window and you turned your head
I'm not afraid anymore

The voices turned into clocks and started to move
The voice became a clock and started moving

The organ intro and the singing part were composed separately.
I did not initially think of connecting the two.
I had a hard time coming up with an introduction for the song portion of the piece, so I experimented with connecting the organ intro, and it felt right, so I completed it as one piece.

Lyrics

There's a man with a disheveled face that looks like it's about to fall off
Calling my name. He was put on a freight train.

A long line of people poking me in the back
Behind the peeling walls

A girl holding a doll with one arm missing
Looking at her mother and the city with a sad face

That girl who gave me a daisy
she's being taken away... beyond the darkness

Ding, dong, falling Cannibal Rocket
Ding, dong, falling Cannibal Rocket

When we get to this town that's changing so much...
The people I loved are gone

In a flower shop in a mess
The daisies...
Blooming in full glory
The sun is shining on them
Just like in the movies

ひなぎく

I wrote this song two years ago when I was forced to refrain from playing in the band, and I play drums, rhythm guitar, synthesizer and vocals.
I had a friend play the solo guitar and bass guitar and sent the data to me by file mail.
It is a very convenient time.

Collaboration

Soul Goes To The Sky

I remade a song I wrote about 10 years ago.
I play drums, guitar, electric piano and vocals.
The bass guitarist is my friend, Mr. Ito.

Summertime Stupid

I am a rock and roll drummer and singer, but I love electronic music, and I am a big fan of "Underworld" in particular.
I've been a big fan of their music since I heard their signature song "Born Slippy Nuxx".
I especially love the song "Two Months Off".
This song is a tribute to "Two Months Off".

Rubber soul

I wrote this song with my own idea of fusing electronic music and glam rock.
It is a song about a female pole dancer named Momotaro.
She was a very sexy pole dancer.

Momotaro Night

(Lyrics)
The precious sea you loved.
Passenger seat Sun, sleepy.
You watching on the beach.
The waves tangled around your bare feet.
Ah, blue voice, making noise.
Your feet, the waves have caught up.
You rush to your feet.
You, watching on the beach.
The wave caught up with your bare feet.
Ah, blue voice, it's making noise.
When the wave that drenched me receded
a new world awaits.
How are you doing?
Why am I waiting?

(Japanese Lyrics)

Anata ga Aishita Taisetsu na Umi.
Josyuseki Taiyou Nemutai.
Hamabe de miteiru anata.
Suashi ni karanda Nami ga,
Ah aoi koe sawaideru, sawaideru.
Anata no ashimoto nami wa oitsuita.
Anata wa awatete tachiagatta.
Hamabe de miteiru anata,
Suashi ni karanda nami ga
Ah aoi koe sawaideru, sawaideru.
watasi wo nurashita nami ga hiitara,
Atarashii sekai ga matteru.
Anata wa doushiteiruno?
Watashi wa doushite matteruno?

(Lyrics)
Don't you dare call yourself part of the family
With avarice you desecrate her death terribly
Don't you dare forget that you abandoned her
I'll tell you she suffered from cancer, died poor

A burden you imposed on me
And I carried for you instead
While you hiding in comfort
I was nursing her in ruthless
And now she is dead

Decive myself beliving that a doll with red paint
Putting her bandage, my hands are bloodstained
While you buying for your lovely kids a present
No money to put her into hospital for treatment
And now she is dead

You never know
Under her white robe how fresh and blood rotted
You never know
The madness of hurting own wound with intrest
You never know
When only hope to relive her was the death
You never know

Always you centred on self and left her aside
Always your concience towards you as hypocrite
The face of your mourn how insincerely
My hatred towards you increased immensely

I'll make you suffer

You never know
How agonized to watch her dying and not cure
You never know
I've tried to kill her and myself for deliverance
You never know
As much anguish and my rancor you deserve
You will soon know

Make you feel her pain, my pain
Now is your payment for sin

I'll make you suffer
Never let you meet the Reaper easily
Look me in the eyes, fear me
I'll end your everything above me
The foundation is now collapsed

Now watch your lovely kids suffer to death
The innocent falls to bottom from their heads
Spread their sea of blood and inside you'll drown
With your lungs, taste the bitterness of anguish
It's sweeter than I've tasted

I, the foundation of your comfort
Fear me collapsed by her death
You will soon know

- 和訳 -
ふざけるな、お前などもう家族ではない
彼女の死をも冒涜するその貪欲さにはうんざりだ
ふざけるな、お前は彼女を見捨てたくせに
お前がいない間に彼女は癌で貧しく死んだのさ

お前が私に背負わせた重荷
これを背負うべきはお前だった
お前が幸せを堪能している一方で
私は残酷さのなか彼女を看護していた
そして彼女は死んだ

絵の具が付いた人形だと自分に言い聞かせながら
包帯を交換する私の手は血にまみれていた
お前が子供達にプレゼントを買い与える一方で
私には彼女を入院させる費用すらなかった
そして彼女は死んだ

お前は何も知らない
死に装束の下にある血肉の腐敗
お前は何も知らない
訳もわからず傷口を掻きむしる狂気
お前は何も知らない
彼女を救う唯一の希望だった死
お前は何も知らない

いつも自己中心、彼女を傍に追いやるばかり
いつもお前の良心はお前自身にしか向かない
その喪に服す表情がどれほど腹立たしいことか
私のお前への憎しみはさらに酷く増すばかりだ

お前に苦痛を与えてやる

お前は何も知らない
痛々しい瀕死の姿を見続けた毎日
お前は何も知らない
できなかった無理心中に憂悶した私
お前は何も知らない
彼女の死と私の恨みを晴らすべき時
お前は知ることになるだろう

彼女の痛み
私の痛みを知れ
そしてお前の罪を償え

お前に苦痛を味わわせてやる
そうすぐには死神に会わせない
この目をよく見ろ、恐れるがよい
屍の上に築いたお前の幸せ全て壊す
お前を支えた私という地盤は崩壊した

そしてお前に見せるは子供達の死
無邪気な彼らを底へと頭から落とす
そして広がる血の海のなか溺れるお前
その肺を血の苦みで浸して存分に味わえ
これも私が味わった苦痛よりかは甘いんだ

お前の幸せを支えた私という地盤
今や崩壊した、彼女の死と共に
お前は知ることになるだろう

YOU NEVER KNOW (pre-production)

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.
