Zedd’s new album True Colors was out. I want all of music lovers to listen to the album. He does not delivered his music to limited listeners, but persons who love both popular music and EDM. I hope that you will listen to some songs taken from the album if you are interested in popular music. Let me introduce my following text about my favorite songs included in this album:
Transmission [feat. Logic & X Ambassadors] Sounds like popular music which caught on the world in the late 20th century, for example, Jamiroquai. However, the synthesizer sound in this song is generated with software in 2010's.
Sound of software synthesizer such as reFX NEXUS2 has updated at short intervals. Old-time hardware synthesizers may not be able to generate the present electronic sound. You can taste present progressive sounds in this song.
Papercut [feat. Troye Sivan] I visualize a calm sea when listening to the early part. I do not see any waves. Troye’s song is like a monologue. The voice is floating away into a blank space.
The mode is switched in the latter part of the song. The sound changes to being dynamic. You will be swallowed by the world of the attractive sound. His song is like a dialogue for a significant other.
Daisy Your heart will be melted slowly by the voice of Julia Michaels and strings which is conducted by Ron Fair. Julia’s soft voice matches the melody written by Zedd.
All of the melodies are impressive. I love the melody of the part “When you running, running…” in particular. A stream of the melodies is beautiful and comfortable.
Note: the following is the story about the three singles on my Medium: “Zedd – I Want You To Know/Addicted To A Memory/Beautiful Now”.

Zedd – I Want You To Know/Addicted To A Memory/Beautiful Now
Zedd's new album True Colors will be soon released. Three singles came out from the album: I Want You To Know, Addicted To A Memory and Beautiful Now. You can listen to all the songs on YouTube.
I Want You To Know [feat. Selena Gomez]
Selena Gomez joins the song as a vocalist. Her voice and Zedd's synthesizer sounds go head-to-head and glitter as the sparks fly. Synthesizer sounds flow throughout my body like blood. My body is suffused with the sounds. Want to dance!
Addicted To A Memory [feat. Bahari]
The synthesizer sounds in this song look like flying pieces of a block of ice broken with something acuate such as a pickel. The sounds include Bahari's voice and lead to the atmosphere like a religious festival. Believers worship electronic sounds.
Beautiful Now [feat. Jon Bellion]
I want to sing along to the impressive phrase "BAH BAH BAH BABABAH BAH BAH BABABAH BAH BAH BAH BABABAH BABABABA" with all of music lovers. The phrase is repeated and mixed with strong bass drum to touch listeners' heart.

TM NETWORK Set Foot on the Earth to Investigate a Human Life
TM NETWORK, one of the famous Japanese bands, began their career as a professional musician on April 21, 1984. They has tried different genre of music such as rock, electro, funk, and Latin music.
Breaking the rest period, TM NETWORK restarted on March 20, 2012. The band appeared on the charity concert ALL That LOVE -give&give- for victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The concert turned the hands of a clock of TM NETWORK.
In parallel with the charity concert TM NETWORK prepared the new concert. The concert TM NETWORK CONCERT -Incubation Period- was held on April. They built the following concept for the stage: the members of TM NETWORK come from the space. Their mission is to investigate how people on the earth live and what they think and to report them to the brain of their mother ship.
The new song I am was released on the same day as the concert. All of FANKS, which means the fans of TM NETWORK, were so glad to listen to new song after an interval of about five years! By the way, Mike Smith, ex-Limp Bizkit, plays guitar for this song.
The term for TM NETWORK as an investigator is 30 years. They have performed the mission since 1984. They have to pass a torch to next investigators. In 2012, they began to instruct their followers for a new investigator.
The concert TM NETWORK FINAL MISSION -START investigation- was held on July, 2013. Three new investigators appears on a rural town in U.S. in 1950's to try to watch a human life. People are close to the newcomers including the investigators, but some conservative persons did not trust them and then attacked them. The investigators recognized that it is also one of human behavior. TM NETWORK waited and saw how the new investigators move.
Many investigators came to the earth in several time and place. They committed the human life and history. If a superior human being, as it is called a genius, such as Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were be an investigator, we can think that they came to the earth to contribute to development of a human life. However, it is not related whether it is famous or not. A person standing at your side may be one of investigators...
On April 22, 2014, TM NETWORK released two new works: the single LOUD, and the album DRESS2. The album includes the songs newly recorded with recent electronic sound. The new recording is called "reproduction" by TM NETWORK. Some songs such as GET WILD, the most famous in TM NETWORK songs, changed to EDM (Electronic Dance Music) style.
The stage was changed in 2014. TM NETWORK has created what appears to be an android in the mother ship. The concert tour TM NETWORK 30th 1984- the beginning of the end unveiled the process of the creation.
At the same time, the story about a baton was started in this concert. The baton is a symbolic item for an investigator. All the investigators have the baton, and pass it on to some followers when their term is finished. TM NETWORK passed one of the batons on to something like an android they created in the mother ship. They delivered it with the baton to the earth.
TM NETWORK released the album titled QUIT30 on October 29, 2014. The album includes two suites: QUIT30 suite and CAROL2014 suite. The former consists of eight songs and expresses the story for the rest concerts. On the other hand, the latter is the new version of the CAROL suite, which is composed in 1988 and consists of four songs.
The concert tour TM NETWORK 30th 1984- QUIT30 started along with the release of the album. This tour had finished on January, 2015. The stage was managed with the QUIT30 suite at the core.
The story traveled in Yokosuka, Jakarta and London. A huge amount of information are projected to the big LED screen. The story spoke some answers for the riddles which had sent by TM NETWORK and left some implication.
A month after the last day of the TM NETWORK 30th 1984- QUIT30 tour, the concert TM NETWORK 30th 1984- QUIT30 HUGE DATA was held on February, 2015. The stage was managed with the CAROL2014 suite at the core.
The CAROL suite and CAROL2014 suite were mixed at the stage. The woman, who stood on stage in 1988 and played the lead character in the story CAROL, appeared in the screen. She talked about CAROL and sent a message for TM NETWORK and FANKS.
The three-years-long project was quit by the concert TM NETWORK 30th FINAL on March, 2015. At the start of the concert, Tetsuya Komuro, who is a producer/keyboard player of TM NETWORK, threw a baton out the window of a jet plane in the screen. A baton fell and went somewhere else.
At the last scene of this concert, TM NETWORK handed over the baton to the audience. What does it mean? FANKS received the baton, that's to say, received the mission to investigate a human life on the earth. All of FANKS are also an investigator. The investigation by TM NETWORK had finished and then the new investigation by FANKS started.

Onagawa Station and Onagawa Bay on May 2, 2015
The new Onagawa station was completed, and restarted its history on March 21, 2015. The new station is designed in the motif of a black-tailed gull.
If you visit it, you will walk through ticket gate to see Onagawa bay. Onagawa city was damaged seriously by a huge tsunami on March 11, 2011.
The teribble four-years-old tsunami came through the bay from the Pacific Ocean. However, people in Onagawa chose not to build big coastal levee. They wanted a life with the sea.
Completion of the new station is the first step in creating a new city with the sea.
The pictures were taken in Onagawa on May 2, 2015.
