Ongaku ni Boryoku wa Hitsuyonai

[Machine Translation] Singing. And rap. I think there are surprisingly few rappers in this day and age who can put their all into something so natural. T=2... he puts all his energy into something that is so obvious more than anyone else. Putting all one's energy into something so obvious is a major characteristic of T=2, and one that is worth paying attention to. Based in Mie, he has been rooted in his hometown, and it is a wonder that he has never been the center of attention in the scene before. I feel his music has so much power that I can say that. I don't think his music can be generally described as hip-hop. However, that is just a judgment made by the scene on its own. He sometimes plays sharp and poisonous music. He sometimes makes music that is sharp and poisonous, and he sometimes makes music that has his own humor, which brings "? He sometimes plays music with his own sense of humor, which brings up the question, "? He sometimes makes music that deeply affects people's hearts and shakes their emotions. He sometimes makes music that is so POP that he is criticized in the scene. But, he insists, "I'm doing hip-hop. Hip-hop is music that defies boundaries, and if the people who make it and the people who listen to it listen to it without boundaries, they will enjoy it more. Tokai is a rapper who embodies this idea, and although he is often criticized for it, there are certainly many people who understand his music. As an indication of this, KOKIN BEATZ THE ILLEST, a member of the mysterious and powerful group "TYRANT," which is well known in the national scene as well as in the Tokai area, has provided tracks for him (but his rapping on those tracks is so much more than he would ever do). The album starts off with UNITED, in which he is joined on guitar by VONDO, a member of END OF SEEDS, a hardcore punk band from the same hometown that has been receiving a lot of attention in the underground. CMD, a member of DAZZLE 4 LIFE from Ise, also shares T=2's musical resonance. The album "No need for violence in music" is an album with a wide range. However, it is no surprise that he is doing music and hip-hop without any boundaries. He does not use any strategies such as "I want you to hear a new side of me" or "I want you to hear a new side of my music". He is simply doing what he loves. The destructive power that he creates by doing just that, just that, is a vector that makes us look forward to his future activities. His first album "Music doesn't need violence", which is one of his traces, is a purely

唄う。そしてラップをする。その当たり前の事を全力を込めるラッパーは、今の時代、意外に少ない気がする。T=2...彼はその当たり前の事に誰よりも全力を込める。その当たり前の事に全力を込める事が、彼の大きな特徴であり、注目すべき点である。三重を拠点に、地元に根付いた活動をしていた彼が、今までシーンで大きく注目される事が無かった事が不思議で仕方ない。そう言い切れる程に彼の音楽には大きな力を感じる。彼の音楽は一概にヒップホップだとは言えないような気がする。しかし、それはシーンが勝手に決めた判断でしかない。彼は時に鋭さのある毒付いた音楽をする。彼は時に「?」が浮かぶような彼なりのユーモアを打ち出した音楽をする。彼は時に人の心を深くエグり、感情を震わす音楽をする。彼は時にシーンの中で批判をくらってしまう程のとびっきりPOPな音楽をする。しかし、彼は言い切る「ヒップホップをやってます。」とヒップホップは枠にとらわれない音楽 発信する人間も聴く人間も枠にとらわれず聴けばヒップホップの楽しさがもっと広がるはず。彼はそれを体現してる一人のラッパーそれゆえ否定される事もしばしばあるのだが、彼の音楽に対しての理解者は確実に多数いる。それを表すように東海は元より全国のシーンでその名を知られる謎と力を秘めた集団「TYRANT」のメンバーであるKOKIN BEATZ THE ILLESTがトラックを提供したり(しかし、そのトラックに乗る彼のラップは、ここまでやるかと思う程にやりたい放題である)アルバムのスタートを切るUNITEDでギターとして参加してるのは、アンダーグラウンドで熱烈な指示を受ける同郷のハードコアパンクバンドEND OF SEEDSのメンバーVONDOである。さらに伊勢のDAZZLE 4 LIFEのメンバーCMDもT=2の音楽に共鳴をしている。そんな彼の現在地点を示した「音楽に暴力は必要ない」は相当振り幅の広いアルバムとなっている。しかし、それを枠にとらわれず音楽を、そしてヒップホップをしている彼にとっては当たり前の事なのだ。振り幅を広くして新たな自分の側面聴かせる...等の戦略は一切なく、ただ単に自分の好きな事をしている。ただそれだけ、ただそれだけが生み出す破壊力は、これからの彼の活躍に期待してしまうベクトルがある。彼の一つの痕跡である1stアルバム「音楽に暴力は必要ない」純粋に
