Band, production, and teaching
Shuntaro Kobayashi debuted in 1997 as the keyboardist for FRIENDS. After the band disbanded in 2000, he continued to provide songs, arrange songs, produce, and keyboards, and also began collaborating with Kyohei Tsutsumi.
He leads WaJaRo, and the 2009 cover album "Electric Piano loves you..." features Fender Rhodes' electric piano. He also serves as a lecturer in jazz and pop piano at Showa University of Music.
Pure2: Demonstration and Arrangement
Kobayashi Shuntaro listened to the demo track with Hashimoto, then organized the rhythm patterns, instrument combinations, and passage closures from reference records, transforming them into the arrangement for "Pure2." The minimum requirement is to retain the original melody aroma and avoid turning a melancholic tune into a bright one.
Kobayashi distributed demonstration materials to the participating musicians, conveying the imagery and direction proposed by Hashimoto; He also discussed the recording and recording methods with Hashimoto before the official recording.
Pure2: Live Sound and Rhythm
The "Pure2" recording scene involved performances with and without beat cues, then selecting a more suitable recording and attempting to take off the headphones. Kobayashi believes that taking off the headphones helps him focus more on the sounds of the musicians around him.
