i love this, it's crazy and i'd love to see it live sometime

Tasty Meat（Nakamura Muku Version）

コロナ禍で人が消えた都会の早朝や深夜の散歩、いままでの時空を歌にしました♪
この2021年、沖縄三線（サンシン）の初心者コースに通い、学んだ事を全力で詰め込みました。今は打ち込みですが、将来サンシンとシンセを唸らせて弾き語り版も作ってみたいです。ぜひ今後もお楽しみに♪
⭐️歌詞
「月」という　文字は
はしご　に　見える
それぐんぐん登って
お空ではしごを　外された仔猫みたいだな

幼い頃のゆめ　乗せた　夜の入道雲
見上げる僕らの手首に　脈はどっくどっくと

愛の言葉が空から　ほらシャンシャンと
山に黄金さえまた降り注ぐ

　嵐の果てにも
　青空の果てにも
　星々響きあう　ほら覗いてごらん

　朝のバラにも
　メダカの涙も
　星々響きあう　ほら見上げてメリーゴーラウンド
　（ランラ ラン♪ランララーン♪）

流れる星の
夢の続きに暮らしてる

※イルカの恋にもカンガルーのまつげも
　星々響きあう　ほら覗いでごらん
　笑える山にも　あらぶる波にも
　星々響きあう　ほら見上げてメリーゴーラウンド
　（ランラ ラン♪ランララーン♪）

※くりかえし

膨らむ宇宙の
夢の続きに暮らしてる

テクノ歌謡７ 「トレジャーマウンテン」【完成版】（テクノ民謡） ■My song 7 "Treasure Mountain" [Complete Edition]

トンネルの向こう

あっ、いく、いきそうっ、はぁはぁ、おく……いいっ、もっとっ、えぐってェッ！

エリート女、堕ちる。

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.
