I realize that it's just been a few short weeks since the last article regarding Masayuki Suzuki（鈴木雅之）but when the God of Love Songs beckons, I simply cannot refuse the call.
For one thing, his newest original album came out on April 12th. "SOUL NAVIGATION" boasts a goodly amount of collaboration with other artists resulting in songs such as this soul-funk track "Michishirube" (Guideposts). Martin may be 66 years old as of this writing but he's still swiveling like a pro in ways that would have had me reaching for my Salon-Pas within a few minutes. Written and composed by YOASOBI's Ayase (with a bit of Jamiroquai reminiscings), the music video reflects the lyrics of two kids growing up into adults with all of the trials and tribulations expected, and happily they both get together.
Suzuki had actually performed this on "Uta Con"（うたコン）a few weeks ago but when I initially searched for the song on YouTube, it hadn't arrived yet. Patience is indeed a virtue.
Also from "SOUL NAVIGATION" is a love letter to all of those "Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai"（かぐや様は告らせたい...Kaguya-sama: Love is War） fans, especially where Martin has left his immortal mark via his opening themes for the first three seasons and a movie including "Love is Show". Sound producer CARTOON + YELLOCK has mashed together snippets of all of the themes to form a funk fest remix.
