This time, we would like to bring you the recording that NEE’s guitarist and vocalist Kuu, who passed away suddenly in May of this year,
participated in just before his death.
The talk between the two, who were meeting for the first time, was very valuable as Kuu talked about the trajectory of his life as a band member up until now with Kosuke Saito, and talked about guitars, common hobbies, and table tennis. Flowers bloom, and even a table tennis match between the two is realized.
At the customary session corner, two songs, NEE’s “Autobahn” and RADWIMPS’ “September-san”, were performed with original arrangements by Kosuke Saito and Kuu. Space Shower TV will be broadcasting this precious recording to express our sincere condolences to Kuu, who was a key figure in the next generation of Japanese music scene.
