Recordings



My favorite sound recording of 2009 was a Japanese single:
[空~ 美しい我の空 by 剛紫]` [SORA~ UTSUKUSHII WARE NO SORA by TSUYOSHI]. 4.10.2009
First heard the recording from:
the radio show of my one of my favorite artist, KinKi Kids which form by Domoto Koichi and Domoto Tsuyoshi.

This is the solo work of Domoto Tsuyoshi. I bought the CD Ver. of the single. After that, I changed the format into MP3 which I can listen it by using my iPhone.

4.10.2009 was Tsuyoshi’s 30th birthday and he also released his solo album in the same day. He started his new solo project this year. He changed his name every time if he starts a new project [堂本剛→ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI→244 ENDLI-x→剛 紫].


For this single and the album, all the songs and music were written by himself, most of the musical instruments were played by himself in the CDs. Besides, Tougi Hideki who played the Japanese classical music which called Gagaku, he helped Tsuyoshi to play the musical instrument of Gagaku for the song. This song is so touching; I really love the lyrics and the melody. It is about the beautiful sky from his home-NARA in Japan. The above video was filmed in NARA which is a beautiful place in Japan.(: Domoto Tsuyoshi is one of my favourite artists. He can always write beautiful and touching music pieces. For his other solo project - ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI, I really love the FUNK style so much.<3

This is the Live Ver. of the song :D

  1. Without this topic for week 5 blog entry, i think i wont exposed to the recording from japan because I seldom get this information. The recording from japan is quite different from the us's one. It can said that the style from japan is always self sing with self playin the instrument not much performance with it . It more practical and down to earth compare to the one in my country in Hong Kong

    Cheers,
