Analysis begins at 2:16
〈Fujii Kaze〉
Since childhood, his work has been consistently praised, and he has become a darling of the times, even appearing in the Kohaku Uta Gassen. He incorporates elements of R&B and hip-hop, and his sound is somewhat retro American. His characteristic is writing melancholic lyrics in Okayama dialect.
☆☆☆ Correction ☆☆☆
The chords around 30:50 are not "D♯m/E" but "Dm/E".
〈Overview〉
【Form】
Typical compound verse-chorus form with a C melody.
The modulation follows a tonic → relative major → tonic pattern.
Classical-style modulation structure.
【Rhythm and Meter】
Drum beats are very simple with minimal variation.
Keyboard chords are straightforward without rhythmic complexity.
Bass, guitar, and hi-hat create groove with 16th notes.
Influenced by R&B.
【Melody and Harmony】
Basic chords used are m7 and M7 without excessive tension.
D chords reject the leading tone and frequently use omit3 chords (e.g., IV/V).
V7(b9) is favored for its sweet sound.
II-V-I progressions and partial modulations are effectively used.
Clever use of specific on-chord progressions.
Frequent modulation between parallel and relative keys contrasts the mood between major and minor.
Contrast between the flat accompaniment and the syncopated 16th-note melody creates a groovy feel.
