Description

[Machine Translation] The first full-length album by Dai Hirai, an 18-year-old active high school student and next-generation super ukulele player, features mellow songs on Hip Hop/R&B tracks with producer onodub, who has released many great songs in the J-Hip Hop/Reggae scene. The clear melody of the song evokes the memory of a glistening, yet slightly sad summer. This album is filled with positive songs that remind us of the past summers, but are also positive and forward-looking as we head into a new season. Recommended songs:#11 "NATSUNE", #13 "passing by" Listening points:Pioneering a new genre that breaks through the stereotypes of the ukulele sound. The song is "a young talent of 18 years old high school student with a great sense of songwriting and ukulele playing" + "elements of black music" = Hip Hop/R&B track by producer onodub. Produced by onodub, who has produced numerous classic J-Hip Hop/R&B tracks for DJ Dopeman, AK-69, Mr. OZ, Ganxta Cue, El Latino, TWO-J, PitBull Fighter, and many others that have made the J-Hip Hop/Reggae scene a craze. He was born on May 3, 1991 in Tokyo, Japan, and is a senior in high school. Influenced by his father, he became familiar with music at an early age and picked up the ukulele in the fifth grade. He learned to play the ukulele at an amazing speed by watching live performances and videos of various ukulele players, including top artists such as Jake Shimabukuro and Herb Ohta Jr. His technique is unparalleled in the ukulele world. He usually listens to black music such as Hip Hop and R&B, and plays the ukulele to melodious tracks that he composes himself. If Jake Shimabukuro is the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele world, Dai Hirai is the George Benson of the ukulele world. He is becoming a representative of the new generation of ukulele players. He has been performing energetically in Tokyo, Yokohama and Shonan area, and released his debut mini album "My Style" on July 23, 2008, and is becoming a representative of the new generation of ukulele players.

夏音~passing by~ / 平井大

18才の現役高校生、次世代スーパーウクレレプレイヤー平井大によるファーストフルアルバム。J-Hip Hop / Reggaeシーンで数々の名曲を世に送り出してきたプロデューサーonodubを迎え、Hip Hop / R&Bのトラックに乗せたメロウな楽曲とウクレレで奏でる澄んだメロディーが、煌びやかでちょっと切ない夏の記憶を感じさせる。過去った夏を思い起こしながらも、新たな季節に向かう前向きでポジティブな楽曲が詰まったアルバム。推し曲:#11「NATSUNE」、#13「passing by」聴き所:ウクレレサウンドの既成概念を打ち破る新しいジャンルの開拓。「18才現役高校生の若い才能=作詞・作曲センスと驚異的なウクレレプレイ」+「ブラックミュージックの要素=プロデューサーonodubによるHip Hop / R&Bトラック」。プロデューサーにはDJ Dopeman, AK-69, Mr.OZ, Ganxta Cue, El Latino, TWO-J, PitBull FighterなどのJ-Hip Hop / Reggaeシーンを沸かせた数々の名曲を世に送り出してきたonodubが参加。トラックメイクからMIXまで本作品に深く関わり、爽やかなウクレレサウンドにブラックミュージックのビート・スパイスを効かせている。1991年5月3日東京生まれの現役高校3年生。父の影響で幼い頃より音楽に親しみ、小学5年の頃ウクレレを手に持つ。ジェイク・シマブクロやハーブ・オータ・ジュニアなどのトップアーティストをはじめ、様々なウクレレプレイヤーのライブや映像を見て、驚異的なスピードでウクレレを習得。そのテクニックはウクレレ界でも群を抜く。普段はHIP HOPやR&Bなどのブラックミュージックを主に聞き、それらから影響を受け自ら作曲したメロディアスなトラックに合わせウクレレを奏でる。ジェイク・シマブクロがウクレレ界のジミ・ヘンドリックスであれば、平井大は"ウクレレ界のジョージ・ベンソン"。新世代ウクレレプレイヤーの代表的な存在になりつつある。都内や横浜、湘南エリアを中心に精力的にライブ活動を行い、2008年7月23日にはデビューミニアルバム「My Style」をリリースし、まさに新世代ウクレレ・プレーヤーの代表的な存在になりつつある。
