Talking about his thoughts on the upcoming release.
The debut album "JAPONICANA" is complete.
Since it'll be the first time I have an album out, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, really excited.
The concept is international, or should I say all-genres.
With Dance and Pop as the central genre, different types of songs were included.
"California Rock" is a song for partying.
It's a dance tune called Dubstep.
Drink! Make noise! kinda of catch-on song.
"That's What She Said" is a song playing with words.
Also a dance tune, it has some adult feel of interesting lyrics to it.
"Like You" is a song that's also produced by Stereotypes who did my US second single "Sun Burns Down".
The melody is a non-mainstream R&B. It was created also particular on the way of singing.
"Set Love Free" is a girl-like guy's love song.
Comparing to the lyrics, the melody is POP. You can feel the bright sun of LA.
"Aphrodisiac" is a little high tension song. It's a dance tune you'd get addicted on in clubs or raves.
"Tell Me Where" is a dance number love song. I sang this song intentionally with a Jamaican accent.
The creation of the album was pressed in between filming of movie as well and I felt like it started all the sudden.
Finally I can get this to everyone.
I'll be really glad if this can be an opportunity for studying English, or an interest in Western music.
