椎名林檎／この世の限り（ハーモニーカバー）Sheena Ringo – Kono Yo no Kagiri (piano & harmony cover) [from Sakuran]【さくらんED】

林檎だけでなく、兄の純平も斎藤ネコとの最強のコラボ、映画「さくらん」のエンディングテーマで、私の大好きな椎名林檎の曲の中で特に大好きな曲です！

アルバム平成風俗のクライマックスとなりこの曲、例えいくら何回も聞くとしても、涙が出そうほどやばい感動していること。英語で”a sense of release”と言う気持ちやけど、なんて説明するかようわからん。自分の中に貯めてある感情やストレス、喜びも辛み、裏に知らずに隠してることが一気に表まで溢れて、火山みたいに爆発する。かなーw

まあ。それが私なんやけど。とりあえず、このカバーバージョンを存分に楽しんで見てください！

ところで、さくらんは見たことない。今度見ようかな。。

ライクなどチャンネル登録よろしゅーー！

————————————————-

Sheena Ringo is one of my favourite – if not my absolute favourite – Japanese artists. Her range is incredible (more than 3 octaves. Three!) and her voice is full of all sorts of passion, anger, and sensuality, while still being playful and clean in tone. So obviously I thought I needed to cover one of her songs, wrecking all the vocal nuances in the process!

This song is the climax of Heisei Fūzoku, an album made in collaboration with violinist and composer Neko Saitō, which was written as the soundtrack to the film Sakuran (which I haven’t seen, but must get around to). This track – the album’s denouement and the film’s ending theme – is a duet with her brother, hip-hop artist Shiina Junpei. I think it’s as close to perfect as a finale can be, with its wild, joyous instrumentation and ever-building tension and final climactic release.

It’s not a wildly popular or successful song, but if you do enjoy it, go and take a deeper dive into Sheena Ringo’s material. There’s a hell of a lot of good stuff in there.
