▼ Soichiro Suzuki “Ohanasan no Koto”

I remember well the day I first met Wool and Hana.
The director of Yomo to Ohana invited me to see their live performance at least once, so I went to a cafe called "Cafe Suite" in Shibuya.
(Omitted)
About 10 years ago, when Yomo and Hana were formed, Shibuya was in the midst of a cafe boom. There were also many live performances at cafes.
They were popular as bearers of such music, and were always busy, repeating live performances in various places. I have also performed with him several times.
However, they were troubled under such circumstances. Of course, it's fun now. But I think what we want to do is something much bigger.
Create songs that reach the hearts of those who listen to them even more than now. And what should I do to sing?
For that reason, it is impossible to avoid the themes of life, life and love. But universal themes are very difficult. If you are a professional musician, it is a big wall that you will definitely hit.

So when I was called in as a producer, the first thing I decided was to get involved from the core zone of wool and heart.
Producers, as we call them in Japan, mainly assist in sound making (arranging songs), but we decided to go beyond that framework and intervene between the two and be thoroughly involved.
Almost every day (for half a year), I listened to the demo sound source over the phone, exchanged detailed emails, and continued rewriting the songs and lyrics.
At the band rehearsal before recording, I sat next to the players and listened carefully.
The finished work is the album "Tsukimigusa".
That's why I can call this album a masterpiece now without any cloudiness. I think we both did really well.

There was one thing that left a strong impression on me during production. Ohana-san said, "I have nothing to sing."
Of course, if you're an athletic singer, you don't have to sing anything. You can put all your energy into just the act of singing.
There are many people in the world who can make good songs, so all you have to do is search for good songs.
Music should be fun. You don't have to force yourself to sing.
But I thought she just didn't notice.
Because I liked the songs that Ohana-san made, and I don't want to sing anything
I never thought it was a song made by
There was always something shining there.
It can be said that the unreleased song "Eternal Girl" that was discovered this time is one of them.
In response to my suggestion, "Why don't you write a song about your childhood memories?", Ohana-san turned the events of her childhood into a song in such an honest and straightforward manner.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the lyrics, which were completely different from what I had imagined.
Hana Chiba was undeniably an artist. That sun-like brightness was her life itself.
What I regret is that I wanted to leave more and more of Ohana's songs. We wanted to record together in the studio more and more.

Last year, I performed with THE BOCOS at a live show in Taiwan. Ohana-san's parents were there to see it, and I was able to meet them for the first time.
The moment I saw the two of them, I almost cried.
Because I immediately found your smile in the smile of my parents.
And on the spot, I promised to perform at the live in April.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's meet at the venue on "Wool and Flower Day".
