BIOGRAPHY

Nidanbelt Experience. A project by Satoshi Watanabe (songwriter, vocals, guitars, bass, DTMer, and sound production). Since the 90s, he has been doing home recording and band activities, and in the 2010s, he led a three-piece band that mainly performed live in Tokyo.

His musicality is classified as an alternative but is miscellaneous and overflows with a sense of mixture. Traveling the world with various rhythms and trying to stick to the Japanese language, he released the first album on July 5th, 2023, "Obituaries," on CD/analog/stream with the concept of "death," his life theme. The album title "Obituaries" is snobbish but has the same meaning as "Late Years (written by Osamu Dazai, one of the most representative novelists of 20th century Japan)" and "Suicide Note (written by Hitoshi Matsumoto, the most famous Japanese comedian)." Without losing its universality, it contains the thoughts of the recorded songs that have been put into it over the years.

You can also enjoy the track production by Kouhei Kita, the original artwork by the genius Katan Hiviya. And in the representative song "In The Storm." the slide guitar by Yoshihiro Matsuura, a world-famous slide master, was featured. And above all, the unique and mysterious world described as a black fairy tale unfolds throughout the story and has received high praise in many ways.

He is currently working hard on the release of his next album.

２ダンベルト・エクスペリエンス。ワタナベサトシ（作詞作曲、ヴォーカル、ギター、ベース、DTMer、サウンドプロデュース）のプロジェクト。90年代から宅録・バンド活動し、テン年代は３ピースバンドを率い、東京でライヴを中心に活動。

その音楽性はオルタナティヴに分類されるが、雑多でミクスチャー感覚に溢れる。リズムで世界を旅し、言葉は日本語に拘ることを心がけ、ライフテーマである「死」をコンセプトとし、2023年7月5日、ファーストアルバム『棺蓋録』をCD・アナログ・配信リリース。アルバム・タイトル『棺蓋録』は、烏滸がましいながらも、『晩年（太宰治）』『遺書（松本人志）』と同じような意味合いを持つ。普遍性を失うことなく、永年自らに纏わりついてきた収録曲に対する思いを込めている。全編にわたる北航平氏によるトラック制作と、鬼才・日比谷カタン氏による独創的なアートワーク、代表曲「In The Storm」では世界的スライド・マスター、松浦善博氏によるスライド・ギターもフィーチャーされている。そしてなによりブラック・メルヘンとも形容される独特で摩訶不思議な世界が全編に渡って繰り広げられており、多方面より高評価を得た。

現在、次のアルバムに向けて鋭意制作中。
