2023.07.08 OCEAN PEOPLES @ 代々木公園ライブレポート

梅雨の晴れ間、SincereとMichael Kanekoのステージを見るため、代々木公園でのイベント「OCEAN PEOPLES」に行ってきました。

Sincere

自分が2023年推しのアーティスト4組の一人に選んだSincere。

Twitterで紹介したところ、何とSincereにリツイートされました。 ありがとう！

以前からアーティスト名は知っていましたが、『松尾潔のメロウな夜』で今注目のJ-R&Bアーティストととしてaimiや黒川沙良とともに紹介されたことをきっかけに、Spotifyで本格的に聴くように��りました。

ライブで歌声を聴くのは今日が初めて。 生歌上手い！ステージでのパフォーマンスも熟れてる感じ。 隣にいた女性のファンが「可愛い」と絶賛していました。

「water」「Like no one's done」「I'll be」などに加えてCMソングに書き下ろしたニューシングル「Our Way」も披露。 とにかく素敵すぎるステージだった。

Michael Kaneko

マイキ��のライブを見るのは、コロナ禍以前の2018年8月のTOKYO MUSIC CRUISE 2018 @ ザ・プリンスパークタワー東京パークステージ以来。

今回のステージはソロではなくバンド編成。

ニューシングル「Lovers」も披露し、大盛りあがりのステージでした。

マイキーはこれまで数多くのアーティストとコラボしているので是非Sincereともコラボしてほしいな。

This piece was drawn in promotion for the PlayStation release of Shin Megami Tensei II. It was most notably used on a B2 sized pre-release poster, much like SMT’s.

The four archangels, Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel, can be seen above the Tokyo Millennium, their large, striking presence above the Centre seeming to suggest that they are the true authority of the Millennium. All of them have golden skin and are entirely armour-clad, standing with unyielding stance. Gabriel is the only exception to this, who can be seen at the bottom, tenderly holding Aleph. Much like Zero City, this piece is also an homage to its SFC box art counterpart.

2024.4.19 Spincoaster presents aimi “I’m OK” Release Party @ BLUE NOTE PLACE

R&Bシンガーaimiの新曲“I’m OK”のリリースパーティを観に恵比寿ブルーノートプレイスに行ってきました。

R&Bシンガーaimiとしてのステージを観るのは今回が初めて。特にブルーノートプレイスは食事もおいしく、雰囲気も良く、お値段もかなりリーズナブルなので大好きなライブ会場の一つです。還暦前のこの年になってくるとスタンディングのステージは結構疲れてしまうので、着席して聞けるライブレストランは大変ありがたいです。

今回の新曲“I’m OK”はジェネイ・アイコを手掛けたLEJKEYSのプロデュースとのこと。

今回aimiのもとにはLEJKEYSから直接メールがきたというが、アイコやユナ、旧知のアンダーソン・パークやダムファウンデッドも含めてアジアにルーツを持つアーティストとの仕事が多いアジア系の彼が、アイコの『Chilombo』を聴いて改めてR&Bに開眼したaimiと結びついたのは、偶然だったのかもしれないが必然だったとも言いたくなる。 R&Bシンガー aimi、LEJKEYSとの必然とも言えるタッグ　「I'm OK」に満ちた癒しのエネルギー - Real Sound｜リアルサウンド

制作までの過程に関してはライブでも説明があったが、詳細は本人のリールにて

バンドセットのステージはとても素敵だった。 aimi(Vo.) with 竹田麻里絵(Key.) Zak Croxall(Ba.) Willie(Ds.) 竹田麻里絵さんの演奏は初めて聞けたし、Nao Yoshiokaのステージも務めるZakも一緒だった。

ステージ後オリジナルZINEにサインをもらいました。

当日のライブレポに関しては、こちらのファンのブログで詳しく紹介されています。

aimiのR&Bの原点について考えると、こちらの楽曲“Lady Boy”ではないかと自分は考えている。

以前からカバー動画を専門としているYouTubeチャンネルHomesessionsの作品で知っていたのだが、この動画を見たのをきっかけに、2015年12月にaimiの地元で開催されたイベントに会いに行ったのが最初の出会いだった。

その後、タワーレコードのインストアライブやワンマンライブなど様々なステージを見てきたが、個人的にはR&Bをやって欲しいとずっと思っていた。

そうした中、R&Bシンガーaimiとしての新たな音楽活動が始まったわけだが、自身のアーティスト活動だけではなく、今やJ-R&Bのオーガナイザーの役割も担う存在となった。

「日本のR&Bは連帯が必要」 aimiが語る、R&Bと〈STAY READY〉への強い想い｜日刊サイゾー

Nao YoshiokaやSincere、MALIYA、XinUのファンである自分にとては最近のJ-R&Bの動向に対してのワクワク感が止まらない。

Nao Yoshiokaライブレポ

Sincereライブレポ

MALIYAライブレポ

XinUライブレポ

近年の国内シーンはなかなか〈R&B〉というカテゴリー自体では注目されにくかったものの、アーティスト単位では非常にバラエティ豊かな才能を揃えてきたからだ。オーセンティックなジャンル性を継承しながら王道のR&Bの豊かさを確かな歌唱で伝えるシンガーたち――中堅のNao Yoshiokaから、昨年傑作『Chosen One』を作り上げたaimi、VivaOlaとも繋がるSincereまで――は良質な作品をリリースし続けているし、対してポップス畑に近いところでもXinU、CELINA、大比良瑞希、NEMNEといったニューカマーが続々現れ、ストリーミングのプレイリストを沸かせている。 もちろん、同様の領域ではJASMINEからiri、RIRI、MALIYAといった一～二世代前の実力者たちがいまだにリリースペースを落とすことなくエッジの立った曲を出し続けている状況もある。 「w.a.u以降」のR&B―露出に頼らぬ自律性で真価を示す歌い手たち｜日刊サイゾー

ライブのアンコールでは2つの大きな紹介があった。

1つ目はaimiがインタビューを受けている『オルタナティヴR&Bディスクガイド』について。早速Amazonで購入してみた。

こちらの本の詳細についてはアジカン後藤がホストを務める ポッドキャスト番組APPLE VINEGARにてaimiが話をしている。

余談だが番組中ゴッチはマレーシアの国民的R&BシンガーYUNAを何度も紹介しており、YUNAファンの自分としてはとても親近感を持てた。

YUNAライブレポ

2つ目は新たなポッドキャスト番組Detox Lounge(デトックスラウンジ)の告知。

R&Bシンガーaimiとダンサー／DJのYacheemiがナビゲートする、R&B Loversのための憩いの場。さまざまな表情を持つR&Bの中でも、特に癒し効果にあふれた楽曲・アーティストに焦点を当て、Let'sリラックス＆デトックス。あなたの音楽ライフをゆるやかに彩ります。

番組中R&Bがもたらすヒーリング効果についての話があったが、個人的にはR&Bはライブで分泌されるドーパ��ン効果だけではなく、リラックスするためのセロトニン効果を期待しているため、デトックスラウンジというコンセプトは自分にとても合っているなと思えた。

K-POP全体のテーマが、BLACKPINKのガールクラッシュからNewJeansのイージーリスニングに変わってきているのと同様に、J-R&B全体のテーマがエンパワーメントからセルフラブに変わってきているなと昨今とても感じる。
