about

All Songwriting and Performance: Hiroyuki Watanabe.

All of these were recorded at Hiroyuki Watanabe's home
in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture,
making full use of a 4-track MTR.

This work is a concept album with 72 songs that are just one minute.
For the time being, it's based on punk rock,
but I'm basically a classical musician,
so I'm incorporating a variety of other musicality.

Phonoh is a water goddess and composer
who governs the city of water that appears in my fantasy novel.
Her Op.19 is a song collection based on the poems of
the genius female poet "Elma" from the ancient Dvorepetta empire.

The album was meant to have a punk-like attitude on it
often, but...in fact, it includes not only punk rock,
but all experimental, classical and blues tastes.
...There are many songs
that lack heavy bass heavyness, so it may sound cheap,
but I think it's a pretty cool shit. These are full albums with 72 songs,
all consisting of one minute songs.
And these songs are sung in my own language,
a fantasy novel I write. ...Why did I approach that?
...It is named after the seventy-two pillar demons
summoned by King Solomon.
...Going further, inspired by "The Residents," a "commercial album."
...Now I can sing rock and roll
in Japanese, English, and other languages.
But... those languages seemed inappropriate to me at the time,
for my rock and roll in 2014 .. In my own language,
it's free to rhyme and there's also the reason no one can complain.

(For another reason)
This album and my work created at this time
are often sung in obscene and radical "only my language."
That's not to say that my song is obscene and radical.
...It was the rebellion that all modern pops
were too trapped in the "meaning of words".
So once I forgot even the meaning of the lyrics I wrote,
I just wanted to concentrate on "just singing".
...This was my own artistic invention.
...But now I don't have the refraining feeling about "meaning of words".
... From now on,
I would like to announce the meaning
of the language I created while also translating it into English.
