about

Aoi Tagami is a voice performer active in the Tokyo area. In addition to vocalization combining myriad elements both light and dark, she occasionally gives bold spoken-word performances. Tagami is also an excellent singer. As a talented singer-songwriter, she performs her own songs while playing the guitar.

Tagami’s many unique qualities and abilities were brought together in the creation of this album’s first track, “A Forever Growing Antenna from One on the Ground.” This ambitious 25-minute work tells a touching story through the combination of singing, speaking, guitar and voice.

Tracks 2 to 5 (the final track) fully demonstrate Tagami’s rare talent as both a singer and a composer. In “The Lively Lovely Night” (2) and “The Terrace with a View” (3), she plays guitar as she sings. In “The Invisible Sea and Summer” (4) and “Under My Umbrella” (5), guest yoshikimasuda plays piano and contributes backing vocals. His astute support gives the performances even greater breadth and depth.

All tracks are from a concert held at Ftarri, Tokyo, on October 26, 2020. Lyrics are all by Tagami. Compositions are by Tagami (tracks 1-4) and by Tagami & yoshikimasuda (track 5 only).

ヴォイス・パファーマーとして東京界隈で活動する田上碧は、清濁入り混じった声を発するだけではない。時には、言葉を使った語りを大胆に披露する。さらに、歌を歌わせてもうまいのだ！！　作詞作曲を自らおこない、ギター弾き語りも得意とする。

これら彼女のいくつもの持ち味をこれでもかと取り込んで生まれたのが、本アルバム１曲目の「触覚が無限にのびる虫」。歌と語りとギターとヴォイスを組み合わせてほのぼのとしたストーリーを展開する、25分間にわたる野心作。

２曲目以降も最後の５曲目まで、彼女の歌のうまさと曲作りの妙を堪能できる。２曲目の「いい夜の友達」と３曲目の「テラス席」では、アコースティック・ギターを弾きながらの演奏。４曲目「においだけの海」と５曲目「傘のなか」では yoshikimasuda がゲスト参加し、ピアノとバッキング・ヴォーカルを担当。彼の的確なサポートは、パフォーマンスにさらなる幅と深みを与えることとなった。

全曲、2020年10月26日、東京「Ftarri」でのライヴ演奏。作詞はすべて田上碧。作曲は１〜4曲が田上、最後の５曲目のみ田上と yoshikimasuda の共作。
