funkytownosakaOne week of posts!! I am so proud of myself lmao
A short blog today because I'm wiped out from running around the city for errands tomorrow. I almost fell asleep two hours ago, but I'm stubbornly staying up until midnight or I'll be awake way too early zzz
Anyway, for Day 7, a song that makes you move, please enjoy BACKBORN!
BACKBORN was Tsubasa's only solo single from back when T&T were divorced. I think watching this single handedly converted me into a T&T fan 🤔 I still don't know what BACKBORN means... I can read Japanese now, I should go look that up 😂 I'm listening to the B-side off this single [ASAP] as I type this and I can't really pick between the two. They're both really upbeat and cheerful and great at getting me moving... literally! I use music/podcasts to manage executive dysfunction 😂
Tsubasa's music in general tends to be this genre of upbeat and dancey. As a person, he's struggled with a lot of insecurity and what sounded like depression, but dancing always helped him find himself again. It's very much the reason for his existence, the way singing is for Subaru. It's interesting because Takki, who famously refuses to show emotion, always did sad, emotional ballads. But Tsubasa, who struggled with so many feelings and lives with his heart on his sleeve chose to go with dance songs instead. It's just interesting for me to think about.
Another thing I love about Taubasa as an artist is he didn't actually sound super great at debut. But he's a dancer, so it's fine, right? ...is what one would think, but he decided he wanted to do vocal lessons so he seriously started training his voice. The jump in quality is SO clear LOL his singing voice got so much deeper and it sounds so rich and full, I love it SO much. BACKBORN is a great example of this - it fully capitalizes on his lower register (usually the part he sang in T&T songs) but you also get a great sense of his range! I'm so proud of him, good job, Imai-san 😌
I don't know if his current relapse will put a real stop on his dancing career but... I guess let's wait and see.
