MC KATASUKASHIT’s “EVERY”: A Poignant Ode to Everyday Life

MC KATASUKASHIT, a familiar name from the group BIG-RE-MAN, is set to embark on a significant solo journey with the release of his debut album, “EVERY,” on March 31, 2025. This deeply personal project promises to deliver an authentic musical experience, rooted in the artist’s reflections on life’s simple joys.

The genesis of “EVERY” is remarkably touching, stemming from the unexpected breakdown of MC KATASUKASHIT’s beloved Suzuki EVERY, a vehicle that had been his companion for sixteen years. This loss became a catalyst for creation, with the vehicle symbolizing the often-overlooked beauty of everyday moments. The album’s title, “EVERY,” serves as a poignant reminder of the small joys that constitute the essence of our existence.

The album’s production is helmed by MAHBIE, a long-time friend and collaborator, whose expertise adds a unique dimension to the project. Their shared history, particularly their work on BIG-RE-MAN projects, fosters a deep understanding of MC KATASUKASHIT’s musical vision, resulting in a cohesive and emotionally resonant album.

“EVERY” delves into universal themes of happiness, gratitude, and the appreciation of family and friends. Among the standout tracks is “Katasukashi no Haha” (Katasukashi’s Mother), a deeply emotional piece that lays bare the artist’s heartfelt feelings. “HbA1c,” a collaboration with GOTIT, explores the intersection of music and health, seamlessly blending their shared passions.

The album also features revisited tracks that hold significant meaning for MC KATASUKASHIT. “USO800,” an underground cult hit from 2007 in Iwate Prefecture, and “Chemical Lamp,” initially released on Bandcamp in 2012, have been re-recorded, breathing new life into these cherished songs while preserving their original essence. The closing track, “IMAGINE,” features scratching by DJ JUMBO, the producer of the original song “KANDATA,” adding a layer of depth and nostalgia.

Visually, “EVERY” is equally evocative. MC KATASUKASHIT’s own illustrations, combined with KOJI UMEDA’s (JAZZRIZE) design, capture the album’s theme of “everyday miracles” in a minimalist and compelling style.

“I would like people tired of their daily lives to listen to this album,” MC KATASUKASHIT shares. After nearly 20 years in the music industry, this debut solo album represents a significant milestone, a culmination of his experiences and a testament to his dedication to authentic storytelling.

As fans eagerly await the full release of “EVERY,” the eponymous single offers a tantalizing glimpse into the album’s musical universe, hinting at the emotional depth and sonic richness that awaits. MC KATASUKASHIT’s “EVERY” promises to be more than just an album; it’s a heartfelt invitation to appreciate the beauty that resides in the ordinary.
