¡Fly by Light
¡Tokyo Chuo Line
Description
[Machine Translation] A Japanese guitar trio active in the Taiwanese indie music scene has traveled to Taiwan to record their latest work with a pop flavor. Ken Ohtake, a guitarist from Tokyo Chuo Line, won the Best Instrumental Composition Award at the Golden Music Awards 2020, the biggest music award in Taiwan. Bassist Toru Hayakawa also won the same prize for the best folk album for the Hakka folk singer "Yonessa missa", which he produced, and released the latest work of Tokyo Chuo Line while receiving attention from the Taiwanese music industry. Although an instrumental guitar trio, this album is full of bright colors and positive energy, aiming for a pop instrumental style by reducing the jazz-like elements of the previous albums. The range of songs on this release is wide, with songs such as M5, with its painstaking overdubbing of acoustic guitars and African flavor, and M3 and M7, based on polyrhythmic ideas and turned into pop songs, are all worth listening to. The humorous M8 and the city-pop tinged M1 are also very ambitious, and throw a wrench into the instrumental guitar trio of the past.
