Kotaro Nishiyama experiences Sony's complete wireless earphone "WF -1000XM4" | Taste your own songs and Takashi Fujii and Halo Pro, which you love with "good sound" -Comic Natalie special feature and interview.

I want to sing a sticky love song

──First of all, please tell us how Nishiyama -san has touched music so far.What was your boyhood music experience like?

It was around the second or third grade of elementary school, but the first artist was Morning Musume.It was.Her sister had 8cmcd of "Summer Night Town", and listened to it and said, "It's cool!"Despite being an idol genre, the matureness of the song is really good.It was often washed away with the boombox of the house.

─ The first impact was "Summer Night Town".

From there!The first CD I bought was "I fell in love!"It's my music roots, Hello is the highest concentration I heard!I think it was a project.Other than Halo Pro, I also liked Takashi Fujii's songs and I listened to it.Hello and Takashi are my two pillars.

Kotaro Nishiyama listens to the songs using "WF-1000XM4" and "Walkman A100 Series".

Both are pop music with a strong beat feeling.

I agree.I really like Aoi Teshima other than that.She entered from the theme song "Teru no Uta" of "Ged Senki", but when I listen to it live, I get enchanted by the world view.I also love music that can be left behind.

── I see.So, when is it starting as an artist, not the listener?

After debut as a voice actor.Until I started singing character songs as a job, music was just like listening and enjoying.

That's right.Mr. Nishiyama also debuted as a solo artist on the mini album "CITY" last October, but is there anything that the music she listened to affects her singer activity?

There is very much.I released a second mini album called "Laundry" this summer, but the theme of the work was "the best love".Just Tsunku is Hello!I want to sing a slightly sticky love song that is mature and humid, as expressed in the songs of the project.Of course, a bright and bright love song is good, but what I wanted to swing in a quiet direction is completely Hello!I think it's the effect of listening to the music of the project.

──It's that the direction of the lyrics is hello, and the direction of the sound is closer to Mr. Fujii?

is that so!It may be true.

─ Nishiyama's album also includes lyricist Kodama Kodama, who is well known for Hello Pro Work, and Composer Hoshibe Show.

That's right ...I wonder if such a dream can happen (laughs).For me, I sang with the feeling of "I guess one leg was thrust into Halo Pro."

──Is this person's selection as Nishiyama's nomination?

No, both of you are connected by the label.Kodama Amako was a form that was realized by the label, but for Hoshibe Show, he happened to give a demonstration in the music competition (laughs).There was something in the gathered demo that I thought, "It's a really good song", and when I checked the credit, it was written as "Hoshibe Show"!You were surprised ...
