Formed in Tokyo in 2004, the band called sekifu had a mysterious existence for 20 years, playing only some live shows, except for self-produced and a small number of live recordings CDr, and contributing songs to several omnibus works. After seven years and numerous member changes, sekifu has finally completed its first substantial album.
Although it always presented a large number of new songs on the occasion of its infrequent live performances, instantly captivating the audience present and continuing to make an impact that is not easily forgotten, sekifu has only been talked about among a few music lovers who understand. Led by Masaharu Seki, known for his work as a euphonium player and composer for the brass band group Zayaendo, sekifu is a performance group that brings Seki’s songwriting to life.
As you immerse yourself in the linguistic sense of the lyrics, in which Seki’s personal inner world and living environment are exquisitely blended over a long period of time, and in the sonority that permeates the ear with an intensity that is playful and sweet, a special world that can only be named “sekifu” will unfold before your eyes. With the album “Yagawa” as a starting point, now is the time for us to join sekifu on their long, wonderful, and never-ending journey.
