JAKARTA - Japan's singer and songwriter Fujii Kaze brings the spirit of creativity in his career this year. He has just shared a single titled 'Hachikmen', a refreshing track in disco music.
This release is also an introduction to his third highly anticipated studio album, Prema. The album is scheduled to launch on September 5.
"Everything started with a little play. Tobias Jesso Jr. suggested we try to compose a song with lyrics in Japanese. He said 'What is the dog's name in Shibuya?' and I said, 'uh.. Faciko?'. And Sir Nolan immediately made his beat right away. Years later, I watched the film "The Tale of Hachik" to finish this song. Melodi and the lyrics came naturally after that. I've never written a song from beat before, so this is a completely new experience for me, Fujii Kaze's story about the beginning of the production of the song in a written broadcast, June 18.
"Finally, I worked with producer 250 to perfect it. Hachiko, a loyal dog, waited for his owner who had died for 10 years at the station every day, and they finally met again in heaven. Instead of focusing on the tragic side of the story, this song highlights its joy and peace. This song is about the power of loyalty and it seems as well as about my fans who are patiently waiting for my third album. Ha! " he continued.
The 'Hachikmen' combines English lyrics with phrases in Japanese, bringing the energy of the language into a song. The arrangement is neatly arranged with instrumentation and beats that are not difficult for the head to sway.
Supported by sparkling synth, the song seemed to reach its climax in the very catchy chorus, You've been patient waiting for me. This song has all the elements needed to be an international hit.
