Lyrics

Yesterday, and today, and tomorrow
Days go by, everyday like another
I see you blush when you look at me in my eyes
But when will you take my hand

You call me when I'm lonely
You must be telepathic
I think it's so romantic, when you do

I love our conversation
You always leave me laughing
Don't mind if it's everyday

Life is like a dance
Come take my hand and spin me around and 'round in circles
Life is like a dream
Don't want to wake up when you're in love
Come, take my hand

Song Production Information

Hideyuki Ono

I tried my hand at live band one-shot recording.
It was my first experience to record a single shot with a band, and it was very difficult, but I had a lot of fun.

This time, the music is composed of a Jazz big band + vocals.

The vocals were sung by Maria Eva, who is also very good!
She has a wonderful ability of expression, and we were able to create a very nice piece.

The big band is Dream Swing Kingdom, and I played trumpet for it.
Since it was a live one-shot recording, the drums and wood bass are live as well.

One summer day, all 16 members of Dream Swing Kingdom gathered at a studio in Tokyo and recorded the song in a "one, two".
Recording was fun, but we also had a lot of fun practicing.
We all tried out different ways of doing things, and we all came up with the song together.
After all, it's great to create something together.
Please enjoy the lively Jazz born from such kind of energy!

Takamitsu Narita(Dream Swing Kingdom)

Hey hey~, have you heard of "Swing"?
It was the topic of a movie last year, so everyone knows about it!

It's an amazing live big band sound consisting of four trumpets, four trombones, four saxophones, drums, bass, piano, guitar, and 16 other musicians~!
"Take My Hand", a one-shot recording with this big band, is an ultra-good-tempo tune that is full of the charm of SwingJazz.

We had a lot of fun playing, too v(^^)v
I hope this song will make everyone love SwingJazz!

I know I'm saying this about myself, but it's pretty good, and I like it.
It's a secret, but at the time of the storyboarding, it looked pretty bad.
