Suga Shikao new single: "Hajimari no hi" (11/25)

[Beauty4123]

first of all, is there a suga shikao thread here? please post the link if there is one already made i'm posting this because i know miss KarenPang would like to know (unless she knows already )

Pop/funk singer and songwriter Suga Shikao will release his second single of 2009, called Hajimari no hi feat. Mummy-D, on November 25th.

As the title may suggest, the single will feature the collaboration of rapper Mummy-D, part of groups RHYMESTER and Maboroshi and also a well-known name in the whole Japanese music scene, as he has already collaborated with several different kinds of artists, from KREVA to Sheena Ringo.

Hajimari no hi, an electric sound-based song, will be Suga's first song as a collaboration and will be used as the opening theme song for the anime "Tegami Bachi" starting on October 3rd. The single itself will be sold in three different editions: CD, CD+DVD and another edition, available for a limited period of time, including special contents designed and written by Asada Hiroyuki, the anime's original author.

Prior to the release date, Suga Shikao has also booked an extensive new tour called SUGA SHIKAO FUNK FIRE'09, to be held throughout October 7th and November 22nd. Shortly after it is finished, he also has a few other concerts planned until the end of the year as a part of another tour, this time named Suga Shikao JAPAN-UK Circuit. It will consist of three dates, most notably one in London, England, at the Institituon of Contemporary Arts on December 7th. This special performance, his first overseas, will be held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between England and Japan.

btw karen, i'm gonna listen to his past 3 singles so i can become somewhat of a fan of his.

[KarenPang]

yeah the song's great but sorry to say that Mummy-D downgraded the song slightly T_T

other than that , ace stuff Suga

[ll moments ll]

1. はじまりの日 feat.Mummy-D | Hajimari no Hi | Beginning of the Day; Day's Beginning
2. 俺たちファンクファイヤー | Oretachi FANKUFAIYA <- WAT? LOL. the closest thing i can translate that is Funk-a-fier. so, the meaning would be "Our Funkafier"?
3. ネコさん | Neko-san | Cat-san

[Beauty4123]

lol i love the b-side titles i don't think Mummy-D killed the whole song, actually. but i'd love to hear only suga's voice, haha. still, i totally love the song. i've been playing it all day

[ll moments ll]

^ IA. when i heard the song, i thought the rap was going to be really strange in a song like "Hajimari no Hi", but i think the transition to the rap was pretty good. it didn't kill the song for me.
