Takeshi Ueda's solo project
AA= released a new collaboration single featuring
BALZAC frontman
HIROSUKE digitally worldwide today.
Titled
DEEP INSIDE, the song was debuted during
AA= VERSUS LIVE ～X-FADER #666～, a two-man live
AA= held with
BALZAC on February 2nd. Since there was plenty of demand for the song after the show, they decided to give it a quick digital release.
In a comment about the single,
Ueda touched on his long history with
BALZAC, mentioning that they have been playing shows together since his time in
THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS and that he is also particularly close with
HIROSUKE in private due to their similar interests. He stated that the song blends together
BALZAC's worldview with
AA='s sound, and that it is loaded with his love for
BALZAC. He also mentioned that he hopes everyone will enjoy singing along to it.
HIROSUKE mentioned that
Ueda promised to write a song in the style he likes when he approached him about the collaboration, and that he was deeply moved when he listened to the demo. He stated that it is a song packed with elements that he loves, seamlessly fusing both the "Takeshi sound" he admires and his own style.
