koiheart I rarely use the adjective enchanting, but for me this one really fit the description. No more than 10 minutes after my first listen, I had to hear it again.

about

"Brilliant Sky Part II" is song that about miracles of the workings of nature, and the humans involved it.
A sequel to the song of the same name from the 4th album "Hidden Sun" (2008), this song featured overlapping acoustic guitar and chorus phrases.
Keeping the flow from Part I of the instrumental, vocals are added and the song changes.Overdubbed brighter acoustic guitar and chorus phrases, swinging bounce drums, and sticky bass are mixed with iconic electric guitar phrases.Then it returns to the phrase of Part I and the song ends. Also, this time, the vocal overdubbing has been reduced to make it more natural.
Composed around the same time as Part I, this song has been in the planning for albums and EPs for a long time, but this time it was released as a single.
It is a new song "Brilliant Sky Part II" which is also an ambitious work of otom.

日本のミュージシャン、作曲家のotom(オトム)。
エクスペリメンタルポップ、ドリームポップを中心に実験音楽、ドローン、エレクトロニック、ノイズ等の音楽を手掛けています。
2020年10月リリースの『Brilliant Sky Part II』は自然の営みの不変とそれに関わる人々について歌った曲。
編み込まれた様なアコースティックギターとコーラスのフレーズを特徴としたこの曲は2008年リリースの4thアルバム『Hidden Sun』に収録の同名曲の続編となる。
インストゥルメンタルのPart Iからの流れのまま、ボーカルが追加され大きく展開する曲調で、オーバーダビングした煌めくアコースティックギターやコーラスのフレーズ、スゥイングした軽快なドラムス、粘るベースを土台に象徴的なエレキギターのフレーズを合わせている。そしてPart Iのフレーズに帰結して曲を終える。また、今回はボーカルのオーバーダビングを減らし、より自然な形で表現をしている。
Part Iと同時期に作曲したこの曲はアルバムやEPの構想に長い期間組み込まれ続けているものの、今回はシングルでのリリースとなりました。
otomの意欲作でもある新曲『Brilliant Sky Part II』。どうぞ楽しんで下さい。

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 4 fans who also own “Brilliant Sky, Pt. 2”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
