There are a handful of ultra-popular Japanese artists whose music I’ve simply by no means related with. Up till Hachikō, Fujii Kaze was a kind of artists. I’ve loved a track right here and there, however by no means to the purpose the place I ended in my tracks to appreciate how superior he could possibly be as an artist. Hachikō is the primary single from his upcoming album and I hope the remainder of the challenge sounds as thrilling as this.
Hachikō makes a really robust case for the deserves of a 4+ minute track. This working time offers it area to unfurl with a measured tempo that sees its sonic parts construct upon one another in a well-woven tapestry. By the point the track has completed its first refrain, many TikTok prepared singles would already be over and forgotten. Hachikō is constructed round a catchy vocal rhythm that opens the observe and carries by means of the majority of the melodies that comply with. Disco strings quickly be part of the fray alongside good waves of synth that give the track a celestial texture.
From right here, Hachikō blossoms right into a sequence of beautiful refrains buoyed by a layered vocal association that makes the track really feel grand and thrilling whilst its tempo stays measured. There’s simply such a way of completeness and intention behind a track like this, which is so refreshing inside an business that usually favors fast hits and quick style. Hachikō seems like an enormous second in the best way the primary single from a long-awaited album ought to. I’m glad it’s already a well-deserved hit in Japan.
