那首叫winds的歌是我最喜欢动漫音乐之一,不过我这几年都没有关注Akeboshi的新作品。自从NARUTO的TV动画剧情追上漫画,开始用劣质的CG和原创故事滥竽充数,我就没有再追,甚至漫画也看的少了(我不知道现在JUMP上最受欢迎的作品是什么,但BLEACH应该已经后来居上超过NARUTO了罢),也没有再关心NARUTO的OST、ED、OP……当然增田俊郎除外,虫师的OST太棒了……
今天偶然在DMHY的BT发布页上看到NARUTO的ED13是“Akeboshi – Yellow Moon”,头脑里又清晰的浮现出那首winds的旋律,于是我赶紧上Akeboshi的官方网站去查资料(这个网页设计的真棒),发现已经出了3张专辑……怒了,原来他开始出专辑了哑!我硬盘里只有几年前那一张单曲CD的MP3……
DMHY上的链接是无聊的PV,我只好翻出号称最强的Tokyo Toshokan……但是只搜到2个结果,这家伙果然够冷门………而且第一张专辑的种子是1月份发布的……已经下不到了,真可恶……


不过今年的新专辑Yellow Moon是下到了,非常好听,让我又找回刚上大学那个时候听winds的感觉了……
引用一段AMAZON上《Akeboshi》的评论,akeboshi is the best……
akeboshi is the best indie folk artist in japan at this moment. this album is a compilation of his previous three eps with the addition of two new songs. akeboshi rose to fame with it’s song ‘wind’ as the into to the anime naruto. being the first song on the album, it is hardly the most uplifting. each song is re-recorded from the eps and lulls you into a state of complete comfort. there is no artist that can be compared to akeboshi because it’s composed with instruments that seem foreign to japan yet the style is very connected with japan’s contemporary youth culture, juxtaposing slow melodic guitar and violin tracks with edgy grunge beats.
this album is essential for anyone looking for the best of contemporary indie music in japan. it’s well worth the price.
