Shoko Nagasaki

A piano version of cocolozasi's debut song "Melancholy Muse" is now available. The piano arrangement and performance was done by Shoko Nagasaki, who is active in many programs, including as the bandmaster of NiziU. The rich, emotional tone of her delicate piano breathed new life into the song. This duo version, which combines the transparent singing voice of vocalist sané and Shoko Nagasaki's piano, has been completed as a sad, beautiful and seductive version while retaining the emotional elements of the original song.

Something Special

"middle" features a dub mix by Hitoshi Munakata himself. Each track was dismantled and the drums and bass were reconstructed to have a heavier, punchier sound. In addition to the delay effect sound that is the symbol of dub mixes, vintage reverb and the latest spatial effects are skillfully fused together to create a new version that is highly satisfying to listen to. Sané's vocals are also colored with clever gimmicks. This version was created without any additional recording, using only mixing techniques based on the old-fashioned interpretation of dub.

middle (Dub Mix)

A magical sympathy between Hitoshi Munakata's roots music, reggae, and female singer-songwriter sané.

The heavy grooving bass line, full of analog sounds, drums, guitar, and all other performances and programming are handled by Hitoshi Munakata again.

This song is about unrequited love. The phrase "meet me in the middle" means "Shall we meet in the middle?", and it contains the meaning of maintaining a balance between each other and aiming for consensus. Although there have been fond memories and arguments in the past, the message is that it is important to understand each other, not to be perfect.

The match with sané's crystal clear singing voice opens the door to the British reggae scene of the 1980s, and nostalgia and innovation resonate, with new discoveries waiting for you every time you listen to it.
