New OP song "Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara"

Post by dillpops »

次なる新曲は坂本真綾初となるカヴァー曲!
サウンド・プロデュースは人気アコースティック・ギターデュオ“DEPAPEPE”。

新作OVA『たまゆら』のオープニングテーマになります。

「やさしさに包まれたなら」
 作詞・作曲:荒井由実
 編曲:DEPAPEPE

お楽しみに!

From Maaya's official site! Maaya will be covering the famous Japanese song 'Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara'. You might have heard this on the end of the Studio Ghibli film 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. The original is by Yumi Arai. It's a really good song! It gets covered a lot.

Anyway, the song will be reworked by the popular guitar duo DEPAPEPE and used as the opening to the OVA 'Tamayura' (look on the link above)

Cool! I think Maaya would really suit this song (I'm imagining the Sotte Bosse cover version with Maaya's vocals...?) and here is the Tamayura blog entry confirming it:

And here is the original song:

And just a random observation but they've completely replaced Maaya's homepage news section with that pop up window of 'latest news' on Victor's site instead. Maybe it is easier for them to administrate all their artists' news that way.

I really don't think they'd go well together, but it would be great if it was released as a double A-side single together with 'utsukushii hito'. Or just another single collection! :lol:

I listened to DEPEPE on my friend's computer yesterday and they are really good. Really, really fresh, summery. If that was anything to go by this cover is going to be a ray of sunshine in a cold season :)
