ave;newのコンセプトミニアルバム「inscribe」が発売された。日本人感覚かもしれないけど、このタイトルは、すごくカッコいい。音楽史に刻印するもの、心に刻む音楽、なんかそんな感じ。内容は、ave;newプロジェクト所属アーティストさん達、佐倉紗織さんを中心にオムニバスで歌いあげる訳だが…。
実は佐倉さんだけ聴ければいいな、正直、ave;newって無理押しのセット販売が多いのが嫌だなと思っていた。その期待を大きく！？裏切ってくれたのは新人の白沢理恵さん。佐倉さんと較べて少しだけ低い音域の受け持ちだけど、心地良くマスタリングされた歌声はかなりいける。佐倉さんに負けない強さで、琴線の別の場所をきゅんとさせる。「当局」の宣伝の完全な受け売りになるけど、ave;new入門アルバムとしてぴったり。Perfumeとかウマウマとかハマってる方なら、この世界は間違いなく脱出不可！もう、ゲーソン、アニソン、電波とか（蔑んで）呼んでいる場合じゃない完成度。佐倉さん初の自作曲、『銀木犀』にも注目！！
◆Songs for games or animation have long been treated as subculture and criticized by Japanese. “Denpa(Japanese, which means wave)-song” might have been the disparaging name, for such songs with unusual voice or strange melodies and rhymes causing mishearing like mixed-up waves. However, they have remarkably improved their quality to break into the general public. Electro-music like Perfume emerged into the prime time music scene as main-culture not as subculture. “Like Perfume”, has become the key phrase among media directors and producers, and many similar acts, with high or low quality, have come out.
◆Among such a trend, “ave;new” has just released a concept mini album named “inscribe” with excellent quality. The name is symbolic to be inscribed in the music scene. It is a collective album sung by artists belonging to the organization named the “ave;new” project. The main singer is Saori Sakura. She has an extra high pitched voice and her beautiful voice is processed to be even more touching. She first composed and sings a couple of spectacular songs in this album, which might be one of the major sales points of it. She has a weekly net radio program named “LoveLoveLovable” and you can hear her voice and sample songs anywhere, anytime. For those who are new to Shaorine (lovable nickname for Saori), this album might be a good introduction.
◆In this album, I also encountered another new promising artist “Rie Shirasawa”. Her charm, in turn, is found in her mid-pitched voice, which is also processed to be extremely attractive. It was a pleasant surprise to me that Rie performs quite sweetly beyond my expectations. I strongly recommend, from the bottom of my heart, this album to Denpa-song lovers as well as to all trendy electro-song lovers.
