RED

[Machine Translation] P.B.=Powerful, bass-heavy voice and music. Maa = nickname derived from his real name, MASAYA. Many Japanese male singers sing sweet "pure love" songs. It is certainly pleasing to the ear. But this guy is different. The theme of most of his songs is "sex love. He sings and dances to the latest beats with realistic lyrics, almost like real R&B. Many women who have seen him on stage are surprised but cannot help becoming his fans. He moved from his hometown in Mie Prefecture to Tokyo after being selected as one of 20 people out of 20,000 nationwide in an audition for a certain TV program. Since then, he has become popular mainly in the clubs for his performance that can both sing and dance, and he has participated in many recordings. He has also appeared as a dancer in BENNIE K's live performances. ( Diggy-MO<SOUL'd OUT> comments ) My first impression of his performance was that he was very honest about his own greed for the show. I think his spirit of challenge to various methods, which could be seen as flexibility, is also evident in his works. I am really looking forward to the future. Also, I would not say which one, but the subtle and clever track direction is another point that makes me burn as a musician.

P.B.=PowerfulでBassの効いた歌声、音楽の略。隠れた意味はPlay Boy。Maa=本名のMASAYAからきた愛称。日本の男性シンガーの多くは甘い「純愛」を歌う。確かに耳障りは良い。しかし、この男は違う。ほとんどの楽曲でテーマになっているのは「性愛=SEX」。本場のR&Bに近い、リアルな歌詞を最新のビートに乗って歌い、そして踊る。彼のステージを見た女性の多くはとまどいながらもファンにならずにいられない。某番組のオーディションで全国約20,000人の中から20人に残り、出身の三重県から上京。以降、歌いながら、DANCEもこなせる彼のパフォーマンスはクラブを中心に人気となり、数々のレコーディングにも参加。また、BENNIE Kのライブにダンサーとして出演。(以下、Diggy-MO<SOUL'd OUT>コメント)SHOWに対して己の貪欲さに率直なステージングというのが初見の印象だった。柔軟ともとれる色々な手法へのチャレンジ精神は作品にも如実に現われていると思う。実に今後が楽しみだ。あと、どれとは言わないが、トラックの演出が密やかにニクかったりするのも一音楽家としてついやけてしまうポイントだったり。。
