Nisshoku Natsuko, Sumitomo Mitsui Card's all-in-one payment terminal "stera terminal (hereafter referred to as Stella)", newly written music for new TVCM

Nisshoku Natsuko, a solo artist who plays piano from Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, has written a new song "hunch_A" for the new TV commercial of Sumitomo Mitsui Card's all-in-one payment terminal "stera terminal". Satoshi Iizuka (Tokyo 2003), Munetaka Aoki, and Kotone Furukawa are appointed as CM characters, and the new TV commercial "The feeling at that time" Clerk / Manager / Customer (15 seconds, 30 seconds each) will be released on October 9. It will be broadcast nationwide from Sunday (Saturday).

This TV commercial features the manager (Mr. Iizuka) of a small bakery that uses Stella, the female clerk (Mr. Furukawa) who works with a smile, and a regular customer (Mr. Aoki's daily life story. All three stories cut out the same scene, but by making each of the three characters the main characters, they unintentionally express their shared desire to create a nice shop from different perspectives. The song "hunch_A" was created with only piano and voice on the theme of "premonition" that something might happen in the daily lives of these three people, and it is used in all three episodes. Please enjoy the atmosphere that changes with each story.

----- Solar eclipse Natsuko's comment -----
Based on the concept of "a song that makes you imagine that something is about to happen", we aimed for an exhilaration like the wind blowing through with the theme of "hunch". Since the commercial is set in a bakery, I have a personal image of myself thinking, if I were to enter a bakery and hear a song like this, I would be thrilled and buy a lot. I would be happy if the sound adds some interesting and new "premonition" to the daily life of the three people who appear in the commercial.

Born May 8, 1991 in Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture.
Started playing the piano at the age of 9 and writing songs at the age of 12. In the winter of his second year of high school, he started full-scale artist activities in his hometown of Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. His powerful singing voice that directly touches people's heartstrings, his meticulously crafted world of lyrics, and his composing techniques have attracted attention, and he has performed at many large-scale festivals such as "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL" and "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL". He continues his activities based on his unique play style, which expresses instruments such as guitar and bass, and sometimes even percussion parts such as drums, with a single piano. In addition to playing the piano, he often performs in a simple form with only piano and drums at his live performances. It has been transformed into a premium, extraordinary space. Strength, weakness, sharpness, and ephemerality, the piano music that runs at full speed pierces the listener's heart and provides a unique musical experience.

"Yuki Satoshi" Newly written theme song "Kokoro Soru" for the movie "Hikari wo Oseitete" set in Akita will be released on 9/29!

Satoshi Yuki, who established his own new label "TANEtoNE RECORDS", follows the single "Applause" released on August 8th.
As the second work of the new label, it is decided to release the single "Kokoro Soru" on September 29th.

This work is a newly written song as the theme song for the all-Akita location movie "Hikari wo Tsuseite", which will be released nationwide from October 1st.
Satoshi Yuki actually made a trip to Akita.
The scenery, smells, feelings, etc. in Akita are created only with songs and the piano played by himself, while feeling important one by one.
Prior to the nationwide release, it will be released in advance at AL⭐︎VE Theater Aeon Cinema Omagari (Akita) on 9/23 (Thurs/holiday).

Set against the background of the beautiful countryside of Akita, where depopulation is progressing, the movie is a story depicting the conflict between vulnerable adolescent boys and girls and adults.
This work, which will be the theme song, is about facing your own heart that has become entangled when you notice it, while everyone lives for granted.
It is a work that makes you feel a certain light.

J-WAVE (81.3FM) "SONAR MUSIC" (https://www.j-wave.co.jp/original/sonarmusic/) will be broadcast on 9/21 (Tue.).
It is also decided that it will be aired for the first time.
And the distribution single jacket is also released!

In addition to the distribution release, it will also be sold as a CD package with a limited number of special photo books.
Details of this will be released later.

I would like you to check out "Unravel Your Heart" and watch the movie "Chasing the Light" at the theater.

<<Comment from Satoshi Yuki>>
I will make a theme song. After that, my first thought was to go to Akita. was.
While wondering whether it is okay for me, who had nothing to do with Akita, to write,
I visited Akita while imagining the back and front of various things and thinking about it, and it was a unique and magnificent scenery and scent.

Adults and children, inside and outside, light and shadow.

Human emotions and struggles, the forms of colliding, sticking, separating, breaking, and returning,
It looks like it's really tangled up, and it's a mess.
When such tangled things are unraveled one by one, I feel a great light, or rather, I feel refreshed.
It's a song that I made while wondering if I could make it into a song.

I think it's a song that can be linked to the thoughts and hearts of a wide range of people, not to mention those who watched the movie.
By all means, I want you to chew a lot of songs together with the movie...
I love Akita.

<<Comment from director Yoichi Narita>>
I didn't really think about the theme song for the movie.
The background for the end credits was going to be a black screen and just the morning school sound effects.
I didn't want the music to interfere with the afterglow of the story.
However, during the editing process, it was decided to include video instead of a black screen. In that case, it would be useless if I didn't include the theme song.
However, I strongly felt that I didn't want to destroy the world view of the movie by playing the song, and I didn't want to include it unless it was a song that amplifies the audience's lingering impression.
Originally, I knew about Satoshi Yuki.
The song had such a mercilessness that it grabbed the weakness that was hidden in the depths of one's heart and thrust it right in front of one's eyes.

My heart trembled.
If this person has "skin of the heart", it is infinitely thin, sensitive to anything it touches, even the wind, and always feels a tingling pain.
It's painful... I felt that kind of despair charm in her songs.
The world view of my movie and the world view of her song are definitely compatible, but is there a future there?
However, while listening to her various songs over and over again, I felt a faint light in each song.
There is a future. It's dangerous, but I think it's fun to commit suicide.
When I thought that, I was strangely uplifted, and I came to think that she was the only one, so I decided to ask.

The moment I met her for the first time, ah, I thought so. I don't have to worry anymore.
I decided to leave it to this person's "skin of the heart".
After seeing the movie, I headed to Akita and showed her around the filming locations at her request.
She watched, sniffed, and sometimes said lines that she had memorized as if she were savoring each scene of the movie.
The most memorable one is on the roof. The two of us climbed up and talked for about an hour, smelling the grassy scent of the mowing.
I don't remember the content. It seems that they were probably exchanging honest words that came to mind.
That was probably enough.

After that, I came up with the idea of “understanding”.
It was a work that I had seen over and over again in the long-term editing, but when this song came along with the end credits,
Ah, I thought I was finally done with this.
At the same time, the word “fate” came to mind.
Yes, it was fate after all.
The advertising copy for "Chasing the Light" said, "Don't expect the light, be the light."
Actually, it's a word that came to mind after the movie was completed, that is, after the theme song was included in the credits.
That's exactly what I wanted to convey in this movie.
I feel like "understanding" guided me.

〜Comment from Satoshi Yuki〜
Corona misfortune, there were various thoughts and ideas at that time,
At the beginning of the corona crisis, I, as an artist, had nothing to say. I thought.
After that, I found what I wanted to convey, what was important, and announced the “choice”,
It's been about two years since the coronavirus started, and I'm starting to wonder what the real problem is...
I came to feel man-made disasters, human fear and darkness.
I'm worried about people's eyes and public opinion due to the corona disaster, and there's an atmosphere where I shouldn't do what I can
I feel like the atmosphere is spreading even if you can't say you like what you like.
I don't know how far anyone is telling the truth,
I was fed up with the "society" where you have to doubt yourself, not "Corona".
No one can enter my heart and yours.
It is a song that was completed with irony and determination, and the image of the beginning of a new world and flow.
Get into the work. go crazy

Kariyushi 58 Maekawa Shingo's 4th solo work is a collaboration with Gagaga SP Satoshi Yamamoto!

Kariyushi 58's 4th solo release by Shingo Maekawa, the vocalist of Kariyushi 58, is celebrating its 15th anniversary as a band.
This work "Natsume" is a joint production with label mate Gagaga SP and guitarist Satoshi Yamamoto.
It seems that they were born while exchanging songs and lyrics as if they were sending letters while each other's bands could not work as expected due to the corona vortex.

A song that floats for a moment, combining a song arrangement with a solemn sound and lyrics that seem to be composed of a waka poem that captures the moment of summer.
This work, which has a different taste from each band color, is a special song that was born precisely because it was a collaboration.

Attention should be paid to the activities of Shingo Maekawa and Kariyushi 58, who continue to transmit new activities as if the headwind for artists from last year is a tailwind.
The long-awaited nationwide tour, which was postponed due to the corona crisis, will also be held.
