Looking for something to wake you up after New Year's holiday?
This CD could be the one.
Suitable for his stage-name, his cheerful songs with high energy such as "Yeah!" and "Gamushara-la" (frantically) are really rousing:
"Inti" is "sun", "Raymi" is "festival" in Inca words.
At the same time, sentimental ballad songs are also included, like the closing number "Aishiteta" (I loved you) -a sad unrequited love song.
-But don't worry; following this album, a single of a merry dance pop tune "Naitetatte" (even if you are crying) was released.
Some people might say that this album is chaotic.
The other side of the coin is: Naoto has a lot of potential and tries various kinds of music.
Before the debut, Naoto decided a goal to go on a world tour, and went on a travel worldwide as a "preliminary inspection".
This experience is reflected to his songs.
When he is ready to go on a world tour, why don't you welcome him who brings you "sun festival"?
Last April, my grandfather passed away.
In our country, if someone dies, the bereft family members in mourning refrain from the next New Year's greeting, noticing beforehand.
But there is not such custom at least in the culture people send Christmas -or "Happy Holiday" cards.
So today, I'm placing "
A Happy New Year" only in English.
Best regards.
