【予選1st 第10ブロックC】OTONOVA2023  - overview of the performers.

I am very happy that Mudia exists and supports artists of all kinds. I am happy that there are events organised like Otonova2023 in in which I am participating for the first time.

As someone for whom life would be empty without music, I'm very excited about the Otonova2023 event and I'm looking at all the performers taking part.

I have looked through the musical work of all the participants in this block and I can say that it is a very diverse group, which makes me very happy because it will be an interesting duel.

I am very curious to see how this block will turn out, where we have four amazing personalities such as:

1. ザ・ハッパーバーゲン (The Happer Bargain)

Beginners Happer Bargain was formed by Vocalist Saku and Guitarist Ryuki when they were in high school. At first, the group focused on folk with a w acoustic guitar style. After graduation, former bass player Yuya left the group, and a new bass player, Aya, joined the group. Punk . Oi Punk . Rock . Rock . Rock 'n' roll and a wide variety of musicality. It is worth visiting their Youtube channel (@ryuryu19981217) , which has videos of their many street performances.

2. 鈴野 陽菜乃 (Yonano Suzuno)

Yonano Suzuno who is a the last year high school student. Light music club. I love sweet things. She belongs to the light music club and she loves the sweet stuff. It is a great pity that there are no references to social media or music distribution media here. I am very curious to see what she will show us, because I would love to be able to meet this performer.

It really is a shame that there are performers without any reference to social media and music distribution. 😢 

3.Riko

This is another Otonova2023 participant whose profile alone doesn't say much. I would like to know better what kind of music she likes, if she writes her own songs etc. From the description we can only find out "Nice to meet you, I'm Riko. In the SNS judging, I sang the chorus part of JUJU's 'Yasashisatte ni Obrashite' (To Overflow with Kindness). I will sing the same song again in the preliminary round, but only the first part! I love singing and I hope that my singing voice can light up some kind of emotion in someone's heart! Please help me!"

4. 1 an Dog Speaker

Formed in 2021 year 1 an Dog Speaker rock band from Osaka composed of four members Vocalist / Guitarist Chiki Yoshimura,  Guitarist Kazuhira Fujitani, Bassist Yuta Lozenges and Drumer Kazuhide Otsuka. 

On the first of January 2022, they released their first single 'Our Howl' released. Oct 2nd Single 'Renoir/Iced Tea' released. 2022 July 1st Album 'ENEMY IS...' released. Nationwide tour and live shows in nine locations across Japan. Oct FM802 MINAMI WHEEL2022 appearance.

To better illustrate their work, I present the song 'The Day' below.

🎸The Day 🎸

The Day 祝福されて産声を上げた

贈り物として名前を貰った

大事だったり そうでもなかったりして

The Day 僕は何者で君は何だ

生えかけのプライドかざしてたんだ

大人ぶったり 子供に戻ったりして

死に急いでんじゃない みんな初めてだろう

ペースも分からず皆んな生き急いでんだろう

近頃はどうにもこうにも悲しくなっちゃうね

大人になったんだ  傷だらけでもギリギリ耐えている

今羽ばたこうとする君よ  聞いてくれ

物語は崖っぷちから始まるんだと

あの日のフィルム 切り取った僕らの

手の中にはどうにでもなる明日がある

The  Day 理由は無いけどなんか笑った

大好きな友達が出来てたんだ

一緒だったり お別れしちゃったりして

The  Day 胸の軋む音に気が付いて

君も同じ気持ちだって知って

居ても立っても居られなかったな

死に急いでんじゃない みんな初めてだろ

ペースも分からずみんな生き急いだんだろう

近づくなこれ以上 どうにかなっちゃうぞ

泥だらけで 醜いだろうけど心は晴れている

絵の具を浴びた心が乾くまで

真っ白な夢を抱きしめ続けていたいんだ

あの日の君の言葉が君を今

思い出させたら　そろそろ行こうか

大事なものから消えてく

大事な人から去ってゆく

だから今 見せたいとこから塗って

伝えたいとこから描いてゆくんだろう

あの日のことも この日の君も

敵はいない The Day 歩き続けたんだ

今羽ばたこうとする君が泣いているから

物語が崖っぷちから始まるんだろう

神が死んだ日 遠近法確立

モネが筆を握った日 ロックが死んだ日

なんでもない日に君と出会えたよ

君も世界の歴史だ じゃあまた

この先のどこかで

It is well worth visiting their Youtube channel (@1andogspeaker660), where you can check out recordings of their live performances, studio performances or MVs, for example.

Among this diverse foursome, it is hard to choose a favourite, as each represents a different kind of music. Personally, I was most impressed by the band ザ・ハッパーバーゲン (The Happer Bargain)and the band 1 an Dog Speaker but them and I'm already looking forward to seeing how they will do in the qualifiers for Otonova2023.

I ask everyone to give it their all 💪
