Tsubaki [つんつんつばき]

Tsubaki's online radio show "Tun Tun Tsubaki"! I've heard of it for awhile but never bothered to check it out (as always!). But boredom drove me there and dammit! It was a treasure trove!

On the radio show, they actually have a special jam session, whereby fans or listeners would write lyrics based on a theme given and Tsubaki will come up with a tune...

So! It was like finding a treasure trove of other Tsubaki acoustic songs!!!

Albeit, Tsubaki has never come up an acoustic song as great as Lunkhead's Tsuki to Tenohira (will any band EVER?!?!), I've always enjoyed their "omake" type acoustic songs, notably like "a stupid song" (bonus extra for the Portrait+ album), and "Good Morning" (Shinjuku Tower Records bonus extra for Kakusei World). So, it was really wonderful to find sooooooooooo many other Tsubaki acoustic songs (you can imagine how many, since the show started in 2006).

I thought they're incredibly amazing to come up with such tunes, even though it's just for fun, and while not all of them are great, there are one or two that are quite notable, and so far (till the parts I've checked out), there was one REALLY AMAZING one.

Here it is, today's tune. it's called "Sakura" from Vol.47 of Tun Tun Tsubaki iradio program.

(It amazes me how Isshiki-san's greeting "doumo minna-san konnichiwa tsubaki no guitar vocal isshiki desu" sounds EXACTLY the same from almost the very first volume to the current volume. He REALLY says it exactly the same.)
