Massu Tells Troubles He Overcame to Release Song Abroad


Tegomass just released their 1st album! The song ‘Miso Soup’ which is included in the new album ‘テゴマスのうた♪ / Tegomass no Uta♪’ is written in English! That admittedly even amazed the multilingual staff here at musicJAPANplus! The two members talked about what had been difficult when singing an all-English song for its release in Sweden!The following is Massu’s (Masuda’s) comment!

“I was surprised at first, but since we recorded the English version before the Japanese one, I actually memorized the English lyrics first. I used all my spare time to listen to the English version…early on it was tough and I couldn’t remember a singe line! But that just made me work even harder (laugh). It all paid off when we were filming close-ups. The English lyrics came out more naturally compared to the Japanese ones. Singing two different versions of the same song felt a bit awkward but I had a lot of fun!”
