Description:
Singer-songwriter and metal vocalist Hiroshi Ogawa is releasing his second EP, “Gates of Dawn.” This release also features full collaboration from Harunobu Kato, guitarist for TAIJI with HEAVEN’S! While incorporating modern elements, the EP also includes ballads, giving it a dynamic and varied feel. His high-pitched vocals have become more refined, and his performance is now more powerful and dynamic. The sound seems to be geared more toward a band than a solo artist, with increased volume and guitar playing that is both melancholic and crisp. Below are the artist’s own comments on the tracks. 1. Gates of Dawn A melodic hard rock track with a satisfyingly soaring high-pitched vocal range. It races forward exhilaratingly from an intro that screams “Here we go!” The lyrics and melody complement each other perfectly, making this an accessible track even for hard rock newcomers. The climactic finale is breathtaking and truly befits the title track. 2. We Were Never Born to Lose This is the fastest song I’ve ever written. Since I composed it right after “Let Me Go,” I felt the urge to create something fast as a reaction. It’s perhaps closer to melodic speed metal than traditional metal. The Japanese-inspired flavor in the solo adds a nice touch, and I think you can really tell how much I value the melody. 3. Let Me Go Conversely, this is the slowest track—a Nordic-style piano ballad. The rhythm section gradually kicks in, building the intensity, and the emotional solo at the climax is simply wonderful. The song builds up again toward the end with a key change. Since it’s a ballad, I’ll touch on the lyrics briefly: it’s a common love story, but the message is, “Something I took for granted as continuing forever suddenly came to an end. But that was inevitable.” I’ll leave the rest to your imagination, but I think the melancholic vocals really bring out the lyrics.
