「4月の終わりのメロンソーダ」
　　　　　　　／ 土曜日の猫通信 feat. #Ryo
　　詞、曲、アレンジ、演奏：セキヒロタカ
　　Special thanks to： 持地 秀明（制作協力）、みけこさん（Title）

「あのね」
と彼女はメロンソーダのチェリーを眺めて言った
「私こういう時間ってなぜか後からよく思い出すのよ」

海沿いの古い温泉地
季節外れの僕らは
昼前のレトロな喫茶店の
少し暗い窓際で

「あ、なんとなくわかりますね」
と僕が言う
「またテキトーに答えたでしょ」
と彼女は笑う
「こういう時間って”大事なもの” の引き出しにしまわれるの
　とりたてて何もなくて普通の事だけど。」

メロンソーダをかきまぜて
4月の終わりに
大事なものを作り続けてた
4月の終わりに

「履歴書を作るなら、その引き出しの写真を並べたら
　本当の私がわかるように思うの」
「僕の写真がどのくらい入ってるんでしょうね」
と言うと
「あなたがそういうとは思わなかったわ」
と驚いて

「変ですか？」
と僕が訊くと彼女は
「ううん、そうじゃなくて」
と海岸沿いを歩く老夫婦に目をやって
「ちょっと嬉しいかな」
と小さな声でつぶやいた

メロンソーダをかきまぜて
4月の終わりに
大事なものを作り続けてた
4月の終わりに

メロンソーダをかきまぜて
4月の終わりに
いつかまた思い出すために
4月の終わりに

4月の終わりのメロンソーダ

Osaka

Introducing “SHIBUYA STROLL” - a mix by @thebootlegpresto crafted exclusively for Oddly Awesome!

The Bay Area-based DJ curates a seamless blend of charming tracks which is derived from the records that originally ignited his passion for the genre widely known today as City Pop.

City Pop is a beloved genre comprised of the vibrant pop, soul, and jazz-fusion scene of late-70s and 80s Japan. 

Expect an upbeat and funky synth-pop vibe that may feel new, yet familiar. This creates an atmosphere that some describe as evoking a sense of “false nostalgia.” 

Dive into the groove and embark on a musical journey through the streets of Shibuya.

「終わらない歌を歌おう」
　　　／詞・曲・アレンジ・演奏：セキヒロタカ
　　　　制作協力：持地秀明

とりあえず　もう少しだけ
終わらない歌を歌おう
このまま　もう少しだけ
終わらない歌を歌おう

終わりのある僕ら　終わりのない夜
こんな週末は　終わらない歌を
終わらない二人　溶けてしまうまで
今宵の月に　終わらない歌を

とりあえず　もう少しだけ
終わらない歌を歌おう
このまま　もう少しだけ
終わらない歌を歌おう

終わらない歌を歌おう

First proper go at FL Studio and making music properly, so there is probably many errors I didn't find, but everyone has to start at some step.

「川沿いの道を」
　　／詞・曲・アレンジ・演奏・MIX：セキヒロタカ

君の古い記憶を確かめに
街外れの図書館へ行こう
世界中の記憶が
載ってる古い本がある

君の古い記憶を小瓶に
移し取ったら、そのまま君と
歩いてゆこう雲の切れ間に

川沿いの道を
川沿いの道を

川が海につながるところに来たら
小瓶を開けて流そう
君の記憶は、さら、さら、と
広がってゆく

川沿いの道で
海につながる場所で

魚や海亀や鯨は
君の記憶を共有する
そうして君は回復してく
きっとね

川沿いの道を
海につながる場所で

川沿いの道を

Husband and wife duo Bex & Bright brilliantly encapsulate the eclectic multi genre musicmanship of Baltimore, with textures in their music ranging from Electronic, Soul and R&B, to Hip Hop and beyond. Diving headlong into a place of intoxicating beats and glorious melodies, the multi-instrumentalist producers collaborate with a stunning array of artists to deliver a sound that is unique upon measure.

They refuse to be typecast, and being true musicians, delve into the world of authentic sounds rather than use the store-bought sample packs that many of the less-gifted use these days. Their songs are therefore dynamic, unchained from the banal excesses of today’s industry, and ultimately, an experience that celebrates the joys of music. 

Their chemistry is immediately identifiable and since 2020 they have navigated a world of uncompromising beats, dark electro-pop, inky psychedelics, and guitar propelled rhythms. They consistently produce work that is thought provoking as well as highly addictive. 

Starting off with their stunning debut single Loved & Lost, the influence of Electronica and an Indie Pop aesthetic was front and center. Their releases since then however have shown a vision capable of crossing the musical divide. They have marked out their own new and exciting territory in an industry in desperate need of artists who can bring an enduring quality to the stage.   

Their list of collaborators speaks volumes to their ambitions. YS Please, 1L1L, GD Ambidextrous, LUC, B. Griff and GradedAxe all add that unquestionable flex and dynamism to their music. Migrating between the melodic, the all-out roar of Rap, and everything that sits in between, Bex & Bright are ratcheting up the ante with every single release. After working assiduously throughout the pandemic when time was everyone’s friend, their dedication to their craft has paid off with more tracks in the bank ready to see the light of day. 

Their ideas come together as the perfect nexus of their solo work. Bex created and produced Indie, Rock, And Bedroom Pop, whilst Bright was dedicated to working in the realms of Backpack Rap and Underground Hip-Hop. Together they are an explosive blend of the heat from the street and the musical sensibilities of the more main stream genres. Their complex rhythms and undulating grooves are indicative of producers who are the Yin to the other’s Yang. That harmonic balance provides a journey of spectacular experiences which will stay long in the memory and trigger a deep emotional connection to their music. 

As their catalogue grows their continued work is no less impressive. Beginning 2023 with another step in their brilliant career they decided to bring in 2-time Grammy winner Andres Mayo to build out their sound even more. That influence has erupted with the release of the single Memo which features GD Ambidextrous once again but also Justis Chanel. Laidback with an inviting guitar and luscious beats, Memo is a duet that is full of instances of exceptional artistry and will undoubtedly add more listeners to their ever-increasing legion of fans. 

As the world opens up more and more, expect to see Bex & Bright out on the road and touring their music. Positioning the live experience from the confines of the studio will see them further embrace audiences from a palette of extraordinary colors. They are undoubtedly capable of changing the way you feel about music, and with them by your side, their music will take you to places you will never want to leave.
