東日本大地震救済支援コンピレーション・アルバム
Resume
A Compilation Album to Support the Victims of the Japan Earthquake
収益、寄付につきましては、後日報告させて頂きます。
配信期間終了後、日本赤十字社を通じて寄付する事に決定致しました。
We would like to announce that all the proceeds we'll get from the compilation 'Resume' downloads will be donated to Japanese Red Cross Society after the end of sales term (July 10).
先日報告させていただきました通り、迅速な対応でいち早くアクションを起こされた配信サイトOTOTOYによる東日本大地震救済支援コンピレーション・アルバム『Play for Japan』に7e.p.からmooolsとyumboの楽曲を提供させていただきました。『Play for Japan』への参加の意思を伝えた際に、これまで海外のアーティストのライセンス、招聘などをメインに活動してきた私たち7e.p.ならではの貢献が何かできないかと思い立ち、交流のある海外アーティストを中心にiTunesでのベネフィット・コンピレーション・アルバムを編纂することを呼びかけました。
驚くほど多くのアーティストからの素早い参加表明を受けまして、Volume 1～3の3タイトルでの発売となります。USA、カナダ、オーストラリア、UK、オランダ、そして日本から計43アーティスト、45曲が集まり、そのほとんどが未発表トラックという内容になりました。
アルバム・タイトルは『Resume』。「再び始まる」「復旧させる」「取り戻す」と言った意味を持つこのタイトルは、Sweet Dreamsの福田教雄さんの発案に寄るものです。カバー・アートワークはワシントン州オリンピア在住の切り絵作家ニキ・マックルーアが書き下ろし、マスタリングはモールスの諸作をはじめ7e.p.の作品の多くを手掛けた7e.p. recordings多田聖樹が腕を振るってくれました。
タイトなスケジュールの中で、参加していただいた皆様およびご協力いただいた皆様には改めて感謝いたします。
本コンピレーションから発生する利益は、微力ながらこの度の震災で被害を受けた地域への義援金として寄付させていただきます。義援金の金額および寄付先に関しては、プロジェクト終了後に改めてご報告させていただきたいと思います。
最後になりますが、東北地方太平洋沖地震にて被害に遭われた皆様、そのご家族の皆様に、心よりお見舞い申し上げます。
一日も早い復旧復興をお祈り申し上げます。
7e.p.

In the wake of the horrendous earthquake and resulting tsunami that recently struck eastern Japan, the music downloading site OTOTOY decided to take quick action in supporting the victims by releasing a benefit album titled 'Play for Japan', which includes two 7e.p. bands - moools and yumbo.
'Play for Japan' encouraged 7e.p. to think about how we, a label that mainly licenses music from overseas, might also be able to contribute. With the hope of creating an iTunes-based benefit album, we called out to the overseas artists that we have had the pleasure of working with. The response was immediate and overwhelming.
We are excited to announce the release of a 3-volume benefit compilation album titled 'Resume'. It includes 45 tracks, most of them previously unreleased, from 43 artists hailing from America, Canada, Australia, the U.K., the Netherlands and even Japan.
The title, 'Resume', which implies recovering and persevering, was the idea of 'Sweet Dreams' publisher Norio Fukuda. The cover artwork was provided by renowned Olympia, WA. artist Nikki McClure. Moreover, Masaki Tada, who has worked on albums by moools and many other 7e.p. albums, offered his mastering expertise.
In particular, we would like express our utmost appreciation to all of the participating artists, who took time out of their busy schedules to make this happen.
The entire proceeds from this compilation will be used to support the disaster victims. Though we don't expect to raise a giant fortune, every yen will help make someone's life better. At the conclusion of this project, 7e.p. will announce how much money was raised and where it is going.
Finally, we would like to offer our deepest condolences to the earthquake and tsunami victims as well as their families. We pray for your quick recovery.
