Artist description AIN'T NOTHING BUT BORDER Japan power!! Ichiro,Shinjo,or Nomo of baseball, Nakata or Kazu of soccer, then here comes BORDER of music. Have you ever heard and know about BORDER ? Don't miss it! You are the very lucky one to see this page. A Japanese band since 1996, usually plays in Yokohama area, a harbor town of Japan. Just listen to their songs and then you see how they lead you to the funky and groovy world. Taku Ebara, sings and plays a base guitar, he has such a cool and punching voice. "killing me softly with his song" is a song by Roberta Flack,but I would rather say "Killing me hardly with his voice". The beat, it almost moves the ground! The drummer, Akio Iga makes your body and soul so shaking. Then the guitarist! You would doubt your ears. Yoshiyuki Kurihara is still a fresh and young man, but you could tell as if he had played in 60's or 70's when the R'n'R scene was most exciting, or just a player of the super future you can't touch. Now, are you ready to click your mouse to spread out their song? make sure to set the volume high. You better call your friends to listen with. So how do you like the music? They have now had just one song which is translated into English, but you'll soon hear another. And if you are a person who works for or connects with a record company or a live house, BORDER will love to play and make a revolution in your country. You'd better make a contact with border. I belive you're now knocked out,so why don't you get their recorded works!! 「もし、貴方が子供を持つならば3人持ちなさい」 とは僕の有名な言葉である。人間は一人では寂しさでへこたれてしまう。二人では争いは避けられない。三人いて初めてそこに社会が形成される。　 　横浜を本拠地に東京やその近県でも月に1、2本のペースで活動を行っているこのバンドの音は、はっきり言って新しくないし、以前ボブディランの曲名をそのままバンド名に用いたことに表れるように詩も古くさい。けれども、妙な説得力がそこにはある。観る度にそれは増していくようにも感じる。３ピースという編成の勝利か？たまたまの偶然か？誰も知る由もないが、僕はそのどちらでもあると思う。ダメな３人が寄り添う事で、彼等の社会を、世界を、意図することなく形成しえたのだ。 　大衆とアーティストを商業が結んでいる以上、そこには感傷も悲鳴もない。何事もそうだけど、生きるためには手段を選ばないのが鉄則である。だが、彼等を見ているとそうやって時代に押し流される自分を「それで、調子はどーだい？」と揺り動かされる気分になる。そんな質問に「上々さ」と答えてみたところで、自分の中にわだかまりを生むことも否めない。大抵は『おりこうさん』だから解った振りをして周りに従う。それが何なのか解らないまま従うことで自分を支えて生きていく。そんな人達に「それで、調子はどーだい？」とは今のご時勢、確かに愚問であるかもしれない。しかし、シンプル最小限な編成だからこんな時代に届けなければいけない声を生むのである。原点回帰。 　とにかく彼らのライヴに足を運んでその目で確かめてください。彼らが愛して止まない"音楽"を、愛し続けたいと願う悲痛な叫びににも似たグルーヴを・・・
