動きの活発だった昨年をメルヘン大作『farewell holiday!』で締め括り、以降はCHERRYBOY FUNCTION早見優らのリミックスも手掛けている彼だが、これは季節の風景に触発されて急遽作ったという8曲入りのEP。劇団・柿喰う客の舞台音楽としても使われているそうでサウンドトラック的な風合いもあり、煌めくメロディーにサンプリング・ヴォイスの弾む様子は、心が躍った夏の祭り囃子のように懐かしくも心地良い。

 

[English Translation]
Japanese electronica artist DE DE MOUSE rounded off his year filled with various activities with the epic fairy tale-ish album "farewell holiday!" last year, and ever since has been working on creating remixes of CHERRYBOY FUNCTION (Japanese DJ and musician) or Yu Hayami (Japanese pop singer and actress). Meanwhile, he had been so inspired by the beautiful scenery of the seasons that he made this 8-track EP impromptu. It can be characterized as a kind of soundtrack in that the theater group Kaki-Kuu-Kyaku uses it as background music on stage. The sparkling melodies and popping sampled voices sound nostalgic, yet comfortable, like an exciting summer festival music.
