Terao Saho's new album 'Shu Shine', which will be her first in about two years, begins with the lyrics 'Some of my friends have died' and a light and jazzy trumpet fanfare. The first single 'Ai no Arika' and the second single 'Shu Shine', which will be the first song on the album, will be released in the fall of 2024 on CD, vinyl, and subscription. It has been about a year since we returned to our normal lives after the COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted for about three years. In the name of social distancing, each of us has had a difficult time that we have never faced before, and it seems that our daily lives have finally recovered, but if we look outside, we often feel that we are living in a parallel world that is completely different from before the pandemic, with wars and disasters continuing unabated. I think that what is important at times like these is to check your current location through casual conversations with people close to you. In this work, the dialogue between Saho Terao and musicians who support Japanese music, such as Mahito the People (E. Guitar), Ryuji Ueno of Tenniscoats (Sax), Santa Takahashi (Trumpet), Masatomo Utashima (Veena), Tatsuro Kondo (Harmonica), Masashi Sekiguchi (Cello), and Yuka Yoshino (Harp), is sublimated into music as they grieve together, express intense anger, and sometimes explode with joy. In the lead single 'Ai no Arika,' a unique groove full of originality while keeping the tempo slow is spun by Reizaburo Adachi (Drums), Wataru Iga (Bass), who are also members of 'Fuyu ni Wakarete,' and Saho Terao on piano and organ. Terao's graceful vocals are layered on top of it, and the present form of love that everyone is searching for suddenly appears while listening to this song... It is a straightforward and graceful song that can only sound in 2024. As represented by 'Shu Shine' and 'Good evening, Moon' (lyrics and composition: Ryo Kagawa), the despair that exists among people who live their lives to the fullest while being shaken by the times can be turned into hope as long as they are alive. I think that feeling exists among us who live in the modern age. I'm sure that 'casual chats' with Saho Terao, where you can feel that, will be held throughout Japan and East Asia after the album release in the form of a tour. Why don't we go on a journey to find the location of love together? From now on, let's meet in the songs, at the live performances, and here and there. [Artist profile] Born in Tokyo in 1981.
