Yoshihiko Koezuka
This is a heartwarming reggae pop song. The mysterious unit Yah yah's, alongside vocalist Nobumitsu Irio, makes for a quiet yet graceful result. The trumpet and chorus duet feels very nice too. Both of them were performed by JIMMY.
GUITARFREAKS 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX Original Soundtrack
Yoshihiko Koezuka
It's been a while since Yah Yah's last appearance, and this time it's a reggae pop song.
I invited Nobumitsu Irio as the vocalist, who sang along in a comfortable and relaxed manner. I wrote down the lyrics. It's a story about a stubborn and lonely boy, who took a walk on a sleepless night. I actually wrote down a second verse, but that's all for now.
DREAMS
Truth is, this is the oldest song on this album.
I wrote this song when I was a school student. The performance is bright and clear, but the lyrics are very lonely and sad.
Ono's trumpets, Kozo's guitars, and Jimmy's piano organ and shouts really liven up the performance.

K-GO
This is the story of "Nakajima", a charming character with a picture book touch, who travels through the night from the city to the shore of a lake in the countryside.
I hope you will feel something from the lonely but kind-hearted character who talks with the flowers blooming on the shore and walks along cheerfully, though he stumbles, under the watchful eye of the moon. Even the way I speak is changing...
Staff Comments
B.T.
It's a calm piece with a relaxed tempo. On the other hand, the charts are quite intense and challenging. Don't miss the "I'm lonely" story that is told in the clip.
