Produksi

Sebelum mencapai debut album Supercell (2009), pengubah lagu supercell (Ryo) telah menggunakan suara Vocaloid Hatsune Miku untuk vokalis dari lagu yang dia produksi.[5][6] dalam transisi untuk penyanyi manusia, kemudian penyanyi berumur 21 tahun Nagi Yanagi dipanggil oleh Ryo untuk menyanyikan vokal untuk debut tunggal Supercell "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (2009). Yanagi sebelumnya telah mengajukan cover version dari sebuah lagu ke situs berbagi video Nico Nico Douga dengan nama Gazelle,[7][8] dan Ryo telah mempunyai penggemar dari suaranya bahkan sebelum meng-upload lagu sendiri untuk Nico Nico Douga pada akhir 2007.[9] Menurut Ryo, anggota staf lain ingin mencoba memiliki semua lagu di album dinyanyikan oleh Vocaloid tersebut, tetapi Ryo menginginkannya untuk dimasukkan ke album.[10] Kemudian, Supercell memutuskan untuk tetap dengan Nagi sebagai vokalis untuk album kedua mereka.[5] Judul album sebagian terinspirasi oleh Confessions film (2010) dan yang mendampingi lagu tema "Last Flower". Ryo terkesan dengan nuansa melankolis dari lagu dalam film yang mengungkapkan tema "hidup indah," dan ia menginginkannya dengan judul yang maknanya akan berubah tergantung pada bagaimana hal itu dirasakan. Dalam melakukannya, Ryo menyarankan menggunakan judul Today Is A Beautiful Day yang dapat diambil secara harfiah atau sinis.[5]

Komposisi

Ryo gemar mengekspresikan emosi manusia dalam musiknya, jadi untuk Today Is A Beautiful Day, ia ingin menggabungkan perasaan seperti pengalaman seumur hidup dan kenangan.[10] Dia menjelaskan proses yang mengekspresikan setiap memori sebagai cerita individu. Ryo composed the songs on the album around the idea of starting and ending with "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (literally: "The Story You Don't Know").[10] As such, the second track on the album is "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari", and the final track "Watashi e" (literally: "To Me") uses the same tune. For "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari", Ryo was offered to compose the ending theme song to the 2009 anime series Bakemonogatari. Ryo did not want to copy the tone or style of the original Bakemonogatari novels, because he felt the author Nisio Isin would enjoy the song more if it was more original. Thus, Ryo wrote a different story after borrowing the general setting of the novels.[11] While creating the album, Ryo thought it would be interesting if the first song on the album was the end of the story. The album's first track "Owari e Mukau Hajimari no Uta" (literally: "The First Song That Heads Toward the End") was composed with the image of starting with a flashback scene, diving into the past, and once again returning to the present.[10]

For "Hero", Ryo was asked to compose a theme song for Shueisha's manga magazine Aoharu, a special edition version of Young Jump. The artists whose manga would be serialized in Aoharu were asked to draw "heroines they think are cute," and Ryo was asked to compose the song with the same theme. Ryo thought of a boy aiming to be a manga artist as the song's protagonist, and wrote it with the concept of wanting to support those who get victimized for being otaku. Since the song reflects different points of view between the protagonist and the heroine, Nagi Yanagi switches her singing style from cool to cute sounding. Ryo describes "Perfect Day" with an image close to the album title and feels the song symbolizes the album. "Perfect Day" was born from the nuance that undoubtedly tomorrow will be a perfect day.[10]

Ryo wrote the song "Fukushū" (literally: "Revenge") with the theme of anger, and was influenced by "Snow White" to include a line in the song describing someone being told to wear red hot iron shoes and dance.[12] Ryo wanted a song to describe emotions that would continue past adolescence, compared to the rest of the songs on the album. Yanagi found it difficult to capture the right emotions in the song.[12] "Rock 'n' Roll Nan desu no" (literally: This Is Rock 'n' Roll) was composed with a strong drum component as the initial concept and Ryo wanted to create a song with a fast tempo and rock and roll nuance to it; the song's tempo is over 200 beats per minute. Ryo worked in collaboration with Yanagi to write the song based on the initial demo. Ryo did not initially intend on putting "Love & Roll" on the album, but others in the staff convinced him to include it.[12]

For the middle of the album, Ryo wanted a lower tempo song with a different mood and composed "Feel So Good" based on this concept.[12] When it was decided Ryo would compose the theme song to Type-Moon's visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru, he first read the original novel by Kinoko Nasu the visual novel is based on to get a feel for the work. Ryo wrote "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" (literally: "The Stars Twinkle on a Night Like This") for the theme song, and there was not much trial and error in the composition of this song. Fireworks were an influence in the writing of "Utakata Hanabi" (literally: "Bubble Fireworks"). Ryo wanted the song to reflect how fireworks, which are initially brilliant, are hard to vividly remember afterwards.[12] "Yoru ga Akeru yo" (literally: "Dawn Will Break") was the last song on the album Ryo composed, and was born from the feeling of lying in bed being unable to sleep. Ryo was inspired by the layout of the room where he works and how when dawn is breaking, the temperature slowly starts to rise, and a school near his home starts to bustle.[13] Since "Sayonara Memories" was initially released in February 2010, Ryo used that month as the song's theme. He attempted to write a song that reflected February as the time of year in Japan when people are reminded of farewells they made the previous year, as well as the time when people think about meeting others for the first time.[5] The last song "Watashi e" is meant to convey perseverance through tough times.[13]

While Ryo writes all the music, an assortment of session musicians perform the songs on the album, including four guitarists and bassists, five drummers, three pianists, and a violinist. Ryo cites drummer Masayuki Muraishi as an influence in the composition of "Rock 'n' Roll Nan desu no";[12] Muraishi contributes on several songs on the album. In composing "Feel So Good", Ryo employed bassist Kenji Hino, son of Terumasa Hino, after he became interested in a performance of his on a TV music program.[12] Ryo felt using strings in "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" was an essential part of the song;[12] Crusher Kimura provides the strings for three songs on the album. Haruko Ohinata is credited for the chorus of the song "Utakata Hanabi". Today Is A Beautiful Day was mixed by Takeshi Hara, Yasuhisa Kataoka, Keiji Kondo, Masashi Kudo, Eiji Makino, Koji Morimoto, Okuda Supa, and Shuji Yamaguchi. Yuji Chinone provided the mastering.

Rilis dan Penerimaan

Today Is A Beautiful Day was released on March 16, 2011 in two editions: a regular CD version and a CD+DVD limited edition.[15][16] The DVD contained an anime music video of the song "Perfect Day". Also on the DVD are trailers for the anime film Cencoroll, the visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru, and Shueisha's manga magazine Aoharu, as well as a commercial for "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" and the anime Bakemonogatari.[16] For the week of March 14, 2011 on Oricon's weekly albums chart, Today Is A Beautiful Day was reported to have sold over 34,000 copies in its first week of sales, peaking at No. 3,[17] and charted for 42 weeks.[18] In July 2011, Today Is A Beautiful Day was awarded a Gold Disc by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for having exceeded 100,000 copies shipped in a single year.[19]

Video Musik

The DVD bundled with the album's limited edition included an anime music video of the song "Perfect Day" produced by Madhouse.[14] It was directed by Ryōsuke Nakamura,[14] with animation direction by Mieko Hosoi. The character design is based on original designs by Shirow Miwa.[14] The video shows a girl with short, blue hair coming back to the town where she used to live. The girl reminisces about the time she spent with another girl with long, light brown hair years before when they were children. The two had fun around town, and during one day the wind blew the hat off the girl with brown hair. While walking around town, the two girls meet by chance, shocking both of them, but both are happy to each other again. The hat from years before lands in front of the blue-haired girl, much to her surprise, and she puts it on. Contrails are mentioned twice in the song as a part of the chorus and images of them are seen throughout the video. Nakamura says the video is about life and dreams, and he used the song as inspiration to make the video as a side story to the song's lyrics. He explains that the two girls are actually one person that chose different paths in life, and describes their chance meeting as a "somewhat magical winter day."[14]
