Skyler Skjelset | My Favorite ALFA: Episode 4

Skyler Skjelset from Fleet Foxes joined Tadashi at Germano Studios | The Hit Factory, NYC to perform a cover of Yumi Arai’s “Ame No Station” before sitting down to talk about why he chose to cover “Ame No Station”, what Yumi Arai means to him, and her impressive early years. MY FAVORITE ALFA is a series where we invite current artists influenced by music from Alfa Music to cover their favorite song, and then speak with us about what the song/artist means to them, the influence it’s had on their own style, and the general history behind the song, artist, and label. ▲ Listen to more from Skyler Skjelset: smdr.lnk.to/Skyler ▲ Follow Skyler Skjelset: https://www.instagram.com/skjelset/ https://twitter.com/skjelset https://skylerskjelset.com/ ▲ Follow Alfa Music: https://www.facebook.com/alfamusic1969/ https://www.instagram.com/alfamusic1969/ https://twitter.com/AlfaMusic1969 https://open.spotify.com/user/dgb2s7gspgrn084yilog3sqmm https://www.tiktok.com/@alfamusic1969 Guest: Skyler Skjelset (Fleet Foxes) Hosts: Tadashi Beddie (ALFA) Filmed at: Germano Studios | The Hit Factory, New York City “Ame No Station” Composed by Yumi Matsutoya Lyrics by Yumi Matsutoya Lyrics: 新しい誰かのために わたしなど 思い出さないで 声にさえもならなかった あのひと言を 季節は運んでく 時の彼方 六月は蒼く煙って なにもかもにじませている 雨のステイション 会える気がして いくつ人影見送っただろう 霧深い町の通りを かすめ飛ぶつばめが好きよ 心 縛るものをすててかけてゆきたい なつかしい腕の中 今すぐにも 六月は蒼く煙って なにもかもにじませている 雨のステイション 会える気がして いくつ人影見送っただろう 雨のステイション 会える気がして いくつ人影見送っただろう Performed by: Skyler Skjelset Engineer: Kenta Yonesaka Assistant Engineer: Reed Seely Mixed and Mastered by: Trevor Spencer at Way Out Recorded at: Germano Studios | The Hit Factory, New York City Director: Leon Hinata Cinematographer and Cam Operator: Leon Hinata Cam Operator: Maxwell Owen Brown Cam Operator: Josh Dixon Editor: Josh Dixon Produced by: Eri Komazaki (ALFA), Tadashi Beddie (ALFA) Creative Producers: Leon Hinata and Josh Dixon Location: Germano Studios | The Hit Factory, New York City MFA Crew: Katsuhisa Miyamoto, Asami Abe, Tomomi Matsumura Special Thanks: STG and SCM Akemi Nakamura #AlfaMusic #MyFavoriteALFA #SkylerSkjelset #YumiMatsutoya #Yuming #AmeNoStation #Cover #JapaneseMusic ©2022 Alfa Music.
