|---|
You'll find the sound of a quiet straight instrument,
a mild voice that flaws high and low calmly,
and a simple beautiful melody there.
As for that name, NoMa.
He is one person unit of the Japanese man who has such a strange name.
He plays the G/guitar, the E/guitar, the base guitar,
and the saxophone, and does the programming all by himself.
Moreover, this is one of his distinctive characteristics
- he handles two kinds of voices competently.
Especially, the falsetto voice that can be heard in "g.m.l.h",
for example, has expressed the heroine's voice without speech beautifully."g.m.l.h",
one of his major tunes, sings about the former crown princess of UK, Princess Diana.
"That accident was such a shock, even for me who was in Japan", he recalls.
After her death, although the songs to praise her were played sonorously,
they didn't express her feelings.
I wanted to express "the voice in her heart without speech."
There is another track "sayonara" which is also sung with falsetto voice.
He explains, "This song is about child-abuse
which has been reported daily even in Japan recently."
But I didn't want to make it like lecturing on the moral,
so I wrote about the feelings of the dying children.
The feelings of children who are born and learn first to pretend to be dead so as to avoid getting beaten by their parents.
When the kids stop moving, the parents are satisfied and stop beating them."
"Life",
which he sings calmly with the tint of sorrow,
was inspired by 'the evening bell' by Millet,
for "my cruel heart",was by a Spanish movie "Talk to Her".
His imagination does not run out.
So far, he has released 2 EP's;
'Quiet Knowledge' and 'Life',
and the first album 'Basements and Sandy Beaches' on 29 March, 2006.
What kind of future is ahead of this Japanese singer with the mysterious name?
Wait and see.
