いつだって 火の中にいて
くるまって 恥ずかしいよね

ノートのすみに
変な線で描いたねこ
日差しに熱くなった
赤いペンケース

どうだっていいよな気もちで
すれ違ったときの目線
メールの時とちがう
つれない ねぇなんで もうあーあ

どうして  まちがっていたの
ゆれて  ただよっていたの

灰にうもれる
教室の窓際で
だれの声も冷たく
すり抜けていったの

いつか澄んだ空みて
忘れてかじるの？パン
宇宙まで浮かんで
見つけたい 見つめてAh

どうだっていいよな気もちで
すれ違ったときの目線
メールの時とちがう
つれない めまい でもラブ

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.

Impossible Until It Happens

いつの間にか 夢はさめて
日暮れまでの 散歩してる
優しいひとは いなくなった
アイスキャンディ 溶けて流れる

橋の上から 川をのぞけば
吸い込まれてく 泡粒纏う
はしゃぎ疲れて 眠ったあとで
そっとタオルケットをかけるように

土手に咲いた 黄色い花が
揺れて眩しい 日々を想う
割れたガラス 拾う埋める
すれ違ったままで 祈ってる

なにも無くして ひとりで立って
ひこうき雲が 消えないように
明日の鍵は 手探りのまま
作り出した どんな景色でもいい

黄色い花

Empty Border

Tsubasa Arakawa - Empty Border [Liberty Rhythm]

She sees　はなされた
She sees　風合いの部屋で

渡し忘れた
記憶を割いていたい

She sees

ふさいだ穴が見えて
逸らす前から知っていた

何か言えばいいのに
気づいたらお仕舞い
居ないふりした

She sees　押し込める
She sees　隣の部屋で

遠くの部屋で
