Album notes[edit]
原曲はアイリッシュテイストを基本に明るく元気で土着的な
サウンドでしたが、 このアレンジはスタイリッシュでありながら
暖かい雰囲気に仕上がっています。朝の目覚めから一日が
始まり、村に活気があふれ、そして一日が終わってゆくさま
が1曲で表現されているかのようです。アレンジをしてくれた
Youki氏と冒頭の変拍子をどうするか (演奏しやすくするか
どうか) 色々と議論しましたが、 原曲が持つメロディの流れ
を重視し、そのまま残すことにしました。
The original song draws inspiration from traditional Irish music, creating a lively, cheerful atmosphere that reflects indigenous cultures. Despite this, the arrangement manages to maintain a warm ambiance while also being stylish. It embodies the essence of everyday life in a village filled with kindness and positive energy. After extensive discussions with the arranger, Mr. YOUKI, regarding issues such as the odd time signature of the intro melody and whether to simplify it, we ultimately chose to preserve the flow of the original melody.
Village Pride (20th Anniversary)[edit]
