松井咲子のソロアルバムの打ち合わせをした。めちゃくちゃお忙しいだろうとは思ったが、ダメ元で作曲家・編曲家の服部隆之さんにお願いしたら、ご快諾いただいた。

基本は、AKB48のヒット曲のインストゥルメンタルと「ぐぐたす民のテーマ」、「宇津井健の加圧式トレーニングのテーマ」、「ggrksのテーマ」、「胸熱のテーマ」などを予定している。
「ぐぐたす民のテーマ」は、アフリカの民族音楽のようなものを書いて欲しいとお願いしておいた。

CDのジャケットは、AKB美術部が担当する。

発売は夏頃かなあ。

I've had a discussion with songwriter Hattori Takayuki concerning Matsui Sakiko's solo album. I thought he might already be terribly busy but I tried my luck anyway and he was quick to agree.

In general, we are planning to include instrumental versions of various AKB48 hit songs and, among others, "Gugutasu-min no Theme" [Theme of the People of Gugutasu], "Utsui Ken no kaatsu-shiki training no Theme" [The Utsui Ken Kaatsu Training Theme], "ggrks no Theme" ["Google is your friend" Theme], "Muneatsu no Theme" ["My trembling heart" Theme].
I told Hattori-san to write something resembling African tribal music for the "Theme of the People of Gugutasu".

AKB Art Club will be in charge of the jacket design.
Release might be around Summer.

I predict this will be awesome :D  I'm very pleased to see them utilising her skill.  Many idols have little or no musical talent, which is fine of course.  But when that rare one who does comes along, it's a shame if that talent is wasted (I've seen it with other groups).  Sakiko never seems to get a great deal of exposure within AKB so this will be very nice for her to have a chance to shine on her own :)

I don't think this album will have great sell..at least 3K I think. Naturally I hope she will sell more!^^°

^ That's very pessimistic of you.. :lol:

This will be like a compilation AKB's singles and some other songs? Sounds good to me. I really like it when Sakiko plays the piano in concerts and such.

If I understood correctly, AKB is appearing in a commercial for Nissin Cup Noodles and they're using Sakiko's piano solo as the background music.

Quote from: Akimoto on G+
やっと、木島からOKが出たので、
23時の発表。

先日、松井咲子の朗報と言っていたのは………

AKB48が出演する日清のカップヌードルのコマーシャルに、松井咲子のピアノソロがBGMとして流れます。
そう、このぐぐたすでお話ししていた、
服部隆之作曲、松井咲子ピアノ演奏の楽曲が採用されたということです。

服部隆之さん、急なお願いにもかかわらず、
ありがとうございました。

コマーシャルのプロデューサーの高松さん、ありがとう。
ポニーキャニオンの中村、頼むぞ。

師匠、よかったね。

本当にいい曲なのでお楽しみに。

AKB48で唯一の現役音大生、松井咲子(21)がピアニストとしてクラシックアルバム(10月3日発売、タイトル未定)でソロデビューすることが15日、分かった。

 チームK所属の松井は東京音大器楽専攻ピアノ科に通う4年生で、1メートル67・5センチの目鼻立ちがはっきりとした長身美人。4歳から始めたピアノはAKBのコンサートでもたびたび演奏している。

 AKBからは前田敦子(21)ら5人が歌手としてソロデビューしているが、ピアニストは初めて。アルバムはドラマ音楽などを手掛ける作曲家、服部隆之氏(46)が監修し、松井らメンバーが出演する日清カップヌードルのCM曲などのオリジナル楽曲を含む全11曲を収録。AKBの楽曲では、ピアノ演奏用にアレンジした「会いたかった」や「ヘビーローテーション」「Everyday、カチューシャ」などを演奏した。

 松井は「今までに味わったことのない嬉しさです。同じ大学の先輩である松下奈緒さんのような素敵なピアニストになりたいです」と、女優、ピアニストとして活躍する先輩を引き合いに抱負。AKB初のピアニストによる美しい旋律が、ファンを酔わせる。

According to that Sanspo article, the release date is October 3rd. No title yet.

I never thought that I'd get excited about Sakiko's piano album but damn, 'Everyday, Kachuusha' gave me goose bumps for real. I would love to hear it with vocals. I ain't really feelin' HebiRote tho, that shit sounds weird as hell  :huhuh

I might even buy the album if 'Beginner' is as awesome as 'Everyday, Kachuusha' :yep:

魂の移動〜ぐぐたす民のテーマ〜/松井咲子(1コーラスver) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDm56d11z3c#ws)
Holy shit! That song is fucking awesome. Definitely one of my favorite AKB songs of the year :shocked:

01. 心の譜面: Some bits remind me of some Otsuka Ai songs, and then there are some notes which sound horrible out of key to me. Mixed feelings.

05. Everyday、カチューシャ: Awesome. Exactly what you would expect. From elegant and soothing to more epic and happy sounding arrangements. Very nice indeed.

06. 魂の移動~ぐぐたす民のテーマ~: Not really feeling this. It doesn't flow. Then again, this borderline jazzy arrangement isn't really my style anyway.

09. ヘビーローテーション: Now this is awesome. Same type of brass used in NMB48's Virginity, mixed with some super laid back guitar arrangement. Very enjoyable song imo.


I thought this album was going to be boring. I was wrong. However, there may be too much variety  :nervous. How can a song like this hebirote be on the same album as a Mozart piece. It's a bit much. On the other hand, it may show of Matsui's versatility which is good.

Sometimes i want to listen to her compositions like "Time Goes By"  at Teppen. :shy1:


I wish there was one or two songs that could represent the character / style Sakiko in playing the piano. :kneelbow:

04 17.50 PASSPO☆ - WING
05 17.20 Kawabata Kaname - TOKYO GIRL
06 15.30 Rihwa - Yakusoku
07 15.10 Sako Tomohisa - Kimikoi Calendar
08 14.80 CreepHyp - Oyasumi Nakigoe, Sayonara Utahime

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)

I couldn't resists and grabbed the early leak of the album...

I won't comment on the new arrangements to avoid spoilers, but I'll say this: SO GOOD!
It shows AKB48's songs are very well written, but it also shows Sakiko has heaps of skill.
I was afraid the Mozart piece at the end would look out of place, but it really doesn't.

This album turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I'll be listening to it a lot for sure.
Congrats and massive props to Matsui for such a strong debut  :thumbup
