A masterpiece that could be called the definitive hit for a male solo artist of the year has been born!
Hata Motohiro, a rising star in the current music scene, has released his first original album in about two years.
2010 got off to a strong start, with his ninth single, "I," released in January, debuting at No. 5 on the Oricon charts. In March, he released "BEST OF GREEN MIND'09," his first solo album in 10 years to enter the Oricon Top 10, and it remains a best-seller to this day. With four major tie-ups announced for the album starting in early spring, recognition among music fans and the general public has skyrocketed. The long-awaited third album, the finale of a three-month series of consecutive releases, has been announced! It includes the consecutive Oricon Top 10 hit singles "Before the Morning Comes," "Halation," and "I" released after the second album, "ALRIGHT," as well as the August single "Transparent World," the September pre-release single, and the Mezamashi theme song "Kyou mo Kitto," making it no exaggeration to call it a best-of album in recent years. Furthermore, each of the new songs included is an ambitious work that exudes new charm. With deeply realistic lyrics, a wide-ranging sound primarily based on live instruments, and Hata's powerful yet soft vocals, this album is arguably his definitive work as a male solo artist in 2010!
