Love Is Not Fashionable - Yasuyuki Okamura and Yusuke Koide

Introduction

New single featuring a triple collaboration between Yasuyuki Okamura, Yusuke Koide, and Mitsurou Kubo to be released! Following his first single in seven years, "Viva Namida," Yasuyuki Okamura's new single, "Love Isn't Oshare," is a triple collaboration with Yusuke Koide of Base Ball Bear (BBB) ​​and manga artist Mitsurou Kubo! The single's release has been confirmed just before the nationwide tour "Mirai no Yume" (Future Dreams), which begins on April 6, 2014. Titled "Love Isn't Oshare," the single features two new songs, including the coupling track "Love Video," a collaboration between the two. Two years ago, when he received an offer to produce for Base Ball Bear, he and Yusuke Koide collaborated on two new songs. These two works, born out of their interactions, will be released on April 2nd under the artist name "Okamura Yasuyuki w Koide Yusuke" (the "w" stands for "with"). Lyrics and vocals are by Yusuke Koide. Of course, Yasuyuki Okamura is responsible for the composition, vocals, performance, arrangement, and production. Furthermore, manga artist Mitsurou Kubo, with whom Okamura has developed a close relationship since "Moteki," has created a jacket illustration and a new name (22 pages of manga-style storyboards) based on the song "Love Isn't Oshare." This work will be included in the CD booklet. The song's title alone hints at a catchy melody, making it an exciting pop number perfect for a spring release. The interplay between the two vocalists is also powerful.
