Melodic rock and shamisen crossover duo 駒田早代 × 西田蕉太郎 fizz open cider, a first-collaboration single where SAHAJi-style guitar melody meets Tsugaru shamisen sparkle like a pub-session jam accidentally discovering a mythical Japanese folk-rock power-up. The track pours clear, bright emotion over two very different roots: Nishida’s rock-road songwriting and Komada’s finely carved shamisen attack, creating a sound that feels both freshly carbonated and deeply string-borne. Inspired by cider encountered in Manchester, cider is less “sweet soft drink” and more “international sonic toast” — guitars clinking glasses with shamisen strings while the chorus bubbles like someone just opened a bottle of melodic destiny.
