Matsukuma has been working on all songs as a music producer since March 2015, when BiSH was formed.This is the first time her own songs have been played in red and white.She said that she was so happy that she was dying.
"I heard it when I was alone, so I didn't raise my voice, but I was finally read" TOKIO "when the Tokyo Olympics were held, and that's the feeling that everyone got rid of it."
"I'm from a rock band, so there's a feeling that TVs and red and white are bad, but on the other hand, I was chosen as a traditional red -and -white contestant, which was as honored as the Olympic participation.I was honestly happy. It's like watching the grandmother in the countryside. "
BiSH sings in this red and white "Promise Zaster".Matsukuma composed, and the lyrics are co -worked with Junnosuke Watanabe (37), the president of his affiliated office."How long have you walked?" "I'm sure we're going to be a miracle."
"I wanted you to sing this with all the rock, pops, and strings (stringed instruments) that I have cultivated, and want to sing this with a beautiful or addictive song. Everyone fell into various auditions, and rather sober.I was. I couldn't eat until I worked part -time until 35 years old, and the lyrics are really like that. So I'm really happy that this song arrived in red and white. "
What is BiSH for Matsukuma, who provides songs to many artists and works more than 200 songs a year?
"I have two emotions. At first, I looked at the growth of children who couldn't speak properly on the radio, and felt like my daughter, but that's why they dare to be the farthest in the staff.I'm trying to look calmly in the same position as the customer. "
"The other is the feeling that I want to be my alter ego. I'm an artist who expresses my music instead.There is an ability to have an ability, but it looks like that. "
The composition of BiSH's song is "the feeling of wearing BGM on their story."Lyrics may be written by Matsukuma, Watanabe, and members.How are you producing?
"Rock bands are made in groups such as guitars, drummers, and basses, so it's the same feeling. Choose the best backtrack (accompaniment) that your friends made.I repeat the melody and put the temporary lyrics. Watanabe sometimes puts my hand, and the members sometimes listen to the song and rewrite the lyrics from scratch. At that time, each of the six people wrote the best.Use good things "
Finally, what do you think about the dissolution of BiSH that has grown so far?
"I've seen a lot of bands that have been disbanded because customers are gone, so I thought it would be better to end up in the heyday. I think it's beautiful because there is an end.If you think about it, you don't have to think that you can sell or not, and you will be free from the pressure that you have to go beyond the previous work."
On the 31st, when the Red and White Singing Battle will be broadcast, Matsukuma will appear on the NHK Fukuoka Broadcasting Station Radio program "Rokumomatsu Satellite".She is the first attempt to live on the radio while playing red and white.What kind of voice will Matsukuma speak to six members who have struggled?(Masahito Kamogawa)
