■About "Watashi wa babe" (excerpt from the text of the panel exhibition by Goko Sano at the venue)
The first album of 2018, "Super Heroes," features songs by respected senior artists - Yukihiro Takahashi, Akiko Yano, Ami Ozaki, Masatoshi Mashima, and Yoshihide Otomo. The album also includes five punkish original songs written and composed by NON, who also played the guitar along with a host of other top musicians.
One of the songs she felt a special attachment to was "Watashi wa Baby" by Akiko Yano, a rare singer-songwriter she listened to with great enthusiasm when she first started out as a musician.
I want eyes that can tell what's important
No matter how dark the night
Seishiro would sing for me
Don't be naive, baby
(from "Watashi wa babe")
The song was also released on analog vinyl, and at Nonta's request, Reichi Nakaiido joined on guitar again.
The lyrics written by Akko-chan are full of her feelings for Non-chan and Seishiro, and I thought it was amazing. The fact that she sings with her voice and feeling makes it strangely appealing. I wish Seishiro could hear it. I want Seishiro to hear it and say, "NON-chan is singing about you.
When Yano learned that Non-chan was a fan of Seishiro's, he wrote the lyrics as a shout-out to her.
Yano wrote the lyrics to her song, "Yano-san's song made me feel at ease. The lyrics, "I decide my heart," were wonderful, and I was so touched that he even included Seishiro's live MC, "Gokigen datte, baby.
When he met Non again a little while after "I LIKE YOU," Nakaido said, "I felt that she had definitely evolved. This conviction will lead him to the next stage.
