No more（CD）

商品説明

The title track "No more," which is also the theme song for the Fuji Television drama "Naomi and Kanako," is a song with a strong message that could only be created by ATSUSHI, who has sung about various forms of love such as lovers, friends, family, and peace, and AI, who has become a mother and has become more profound in the expression of love. The song has a strong message.
ATSUSHI says that the song started out as a drama about domestic violence, a dark side of society, but by the time it was completed, it had become a song of hope and support, of not giving up on something and moving toward hope.
We have received comments from the two artists who have just completed "No more".

⚫ATSUSHI Comment
The song is about the importance of having hope and taking the first step forward, not only for those who are in the dark, but also for those who have hit a wall, those who are troubled (......), and everyone else. We sang the song as if we were saying to ourselves. We hope this song will be a beacon of light for you.

⚫AI Comment
This "No more" is the third collaboration work between EXILE ATSUSHI and myself, AI. From the creation of the lyrics to the shooting of the music video, ATSUSHI and I have made no compromises at all. I can proudly say that we have created the best work ever, and I am proud that Achan and I were able to produce another work like this. Also, I don't think there are many songs that have this much harmonization, so it was a lot of fun singing it."

The coupling of "No more," which is filled with such feelings, includes the first acoustic versions of three songs about their various forms of love.
The second song "Be Brave," the second collaboration between ATSUSHI and AI, sings about the bonds and love between people. The original song, dramatically staged with piano, has been transformed into a more emotional song with a guitar arrangement.
AI's solo song "VOICE" was changed from the original dance track to a simple acoustic guitar arrangement, and the strong message of love for family and the meaning of love beyond that was expressed more deeply in this song.
ATSUSHI's solo song "HIKARI," which he previously sang at Abashiri Prison, was inspired by his visit to the Tohoku Juvenile Training School. Feeling lonely and hopeless, he even loses sight of the meaning of life. ATSUSHI's deep love for the people who bear such deep sorrow, even if only a little, can be a help to them, and the acoustic version of the song has been completed, resonating as if soaked with his love.

We hope you will feel the love between ATSUSHI and AI in these four songs. The depth of their love will surely give you courage and strength to live.

The CD cover photo was taken by 217 (NINA), AI's younger sister, who is based in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. as a photographer.
The jacket photo, which beautifully expresses the message of the song "Find a ray of light even in the darkness," could only have been taken by 217(NINA), who has a heart-to-heart relationship with the two artists.
