「”blue”という色のイメージを音にしたアルバムを創ろう」と思い立ったときに、次に考えたことは、「一色だけなのか?」ということでした。そして、すぐに「”blue”の次は”yellow”だ」と決まりました。「何故”yellow”なのか」いろいろと理由はありますが、その時その瞬間に真っ先に考えていたことは、「私はイエロー(アジア人)なんだ」ということと、「『青』の隣に並んでお互いに引き立て合い、よりお互いの色が美しく見える色は『黄』なんじゃないか」ということでした。そして、その時に考えたことが実現して、アジアの特に近い関係の香港、韓国/朝鮮、沖縄とつながりのある音楽を収録できたことを嬉しく思っています。派手な底抜けに明るい『黄』が生まれてこなかったこと。”blue”よりはリズムのはっきりした曲が増えたこと。HaLoのコラボレーションによる『黄』の色遣いを楽しんでもらえたらと思います。

When I first thought ‘I want to make an album called “blue” and make the image of the colour into sound’, the second thing I thought was ‘am I going to make only this one colour?’. Soon I decided that it should be “yellow” after “blue”. But why “yellow”? There are various reasons, but what I first thought at that moment was that I am a kind of yellow (Asians), and that if you place the second album next to “blue”, it would be yellow that complements blue most beautifully. It has given me great pleasure to make a wish come true to include music from our neighboring Asian countries like Hong Kong, Korea and Okinawa on the album. No showy and bright yellow to the core came out. There are more songs with stronger rhythm than on “blue”. I hope you enjoy the tone of “yellow” which is a result of collaboration between HaLo and many other artists.
