I love your account so much, it's been a pleasure seeing how much love and passion you put into your posts! I especially loved the song analysis and comparison you did of each RYUSEITAI center song!!! Do you have any plans to do something similar with AKATSUKI? Lately I've been listening to the AKATSUKI trip album over and over again and thinking about your RST post wondering, oooh what songs share similar instruments and whatnot! I feel like your post made me inspired to analyze music a lot more even though I don't have much knowledge on music theory and such! (I've done research on enka music before since I like enka music generally, but I'd love to learn more!)
Thank you for sharing your passion with us, I'm always excited to see what next you have to offer!!!
(Also I desperately want to make a compilations of all the killer guitar solos in AKATSUKI music I can't help but feel psyched about it HAHA)
And I'm happy to have you here! Dear anon, anything is possible with three iced mochas and a dream, I'd love to do something with AKATSUKI in the same vein! Trading musical backgrounds, I grew up a classical string player and learned more theory when I became a mallet percussionist.
In some respects, RYUSEITAI's a little easier to pick out similarities just because they're such distinct styles otherwise, but AKATSUKI has a lot of overlap and mashup potential! With a series like Enstars, analyzing music provides layers and layers of more fun (your life will not be the same if you flip between Unlimited Power!!! and Holy Angel's Carol on the song select screen). To hear that you got inspired makes me happy 🥺🥺 I'm not as familiar with enka beyond instrumentation and chord progressions so I might have to learn right alongside you!
At any rate, I'm a man of the people, so I'll give the trip album a good listen (as if I haven't looped it endlessly for the past week) and see what inspiration comes to me. One thing I did love was Keito's solo... and how... suspiciously... RYUSEITAI-esque the drumsets and brass hits in his chorus are 👀
AND PLEASE SHARE THAT COMPILATION WHEN IT'S DONE, I WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE TO HEAR IT.
