Deco 27, who has made a name for himself in the Vocaloid scene, will release his fourth album, Conti New, on March 26. Coming before this, a new video for the song “Dokusenyoku” off the album has been released online. This is the same song that Deco 27 released last September. The project “Monthly Deco 27” in which Deco 27 releases a new song to a video submission site at the pace of one per month is currently ongoing. “Dokusenyoku” is a song that was born from this project.
Deco 27 is a young 25-year-old artist from Fukuoka. His signature is his lefty style that he uses on a right-handed guitar that has been restrung. He handles both lyrics and composition. His popularity exploded after submitting songs using Vocaloid to video submission sites. Currently, five of his songs have more than 1 million playbacks, and he has a total amount of playbacks that exceeds 21 million. His best-of album comprised of songs spanning the five years since he began, titled Deco 27 Vocaloid Collection 2008-2012, was just released in December. This was produced concurrently with his new album, Conti New. This new-generation creator born online will resolutely take on 2014 as well.
The album’s title, “conti new,” is a coined term that is a mix of Italian and English. Deco 27, who “once even thought of retiring from music,” chose the title because it signifies a new start and a continuation. It also includes an expression of his intention to return to his starting point, the Vocaloid scene, and to continue creating new work. Also, Deco 27’s changing state of mind is expressed in the “Monthly Deco 27” song “Mousousei” and the follow-ups “Otogibanashi” and “Osouji.”
Conti New will cost ￥2,857 (tax not included) and include a CD and DVD, a 12-page booklet, and a special 7-inch, three-sided jacket. It seems this will be an album through which to experience Deco 27’s world as changes his attitude and sets off on a new journey.
