  1. その手伸ばして / Reach Out Your Hand Music and Lyrics: Shingo Kanehiro The time when I was putting on my Kamen Rider transformation belt And fighting against an imaginary villain When was that again? Before I even noticed it was happening I was about to turn thirty Huh? Did I plan to become like this? No, this can’t be right What do you think? Doraemon should come and help me achieve some of my dreams too Because it’s not fair if he only helps Nobita, right? I’d completely forgotten Say “If you believe in your dream it’ll come true” Face the future with hope And reach out your hand Go! Go! We’re advancing into a future that no one can predict Light up your hope There’s no time for standing around Go! Go! Go to where your heart is leading you, without distractions Living like this, you’ll never want to die Because of people like Shocker and Gian*, I started doing nothing but running And I started to fade away The truth is, I should be living my life for myself That’s it, I’ll reach out my hand Burn up your whole supply of life Fly! Fly! Aim for the light There’s no time to be afraid Fly! Fly! Gather up your courage And face the future your heart desires Living like this, you’ll never want to come down Go! Go! Light up your hope Fly! Fly! Make your life burn with passion Go! Go! Towards the future that’s not yet in sight Fly! Fly! Reach for the light There are times in life when you’re worn out, flying so low that you’re skimming the ground, But so you don’t have any regrets, I hope you’ll keep pushing forward Born into this saturated world, We get lost and confused, but no matter how many mistakes you make, it’s okay Just reach out your hand Heading towards an unknown future Go! Go! Light up your hope There’s no time for standing around Go! Go! Without being distracted Go to where your heart is leading you Living like this, you’ll never want to die Notes: *Shocker is apparently an evil organization from Kamen Rider, and Gian is a kid from Doraemon その手伸ばして / Sono te nobashite RAIDAA no henshinBERUTO tsuke Kasou no aku o taoshite Ita no nante sa Itsu dakke na Kizukeba misoji mae Are?

  2. Posting my sketchy translation here mainly just to highlight the A+ music video they made for this song. I feel good about some parts of it, but what I have for the chorus is probably at least a little off. I put asterisks at the end of a few lines that might be very wrong. If you have any corrections, don't hesitate to let me know. http://en.musicplayon.com/play?v=825441 彼女はゾンビ / My Girlfriend is a Zombie Music and Lyrics: HISASHI [Let me bite you to death] Everybody fall in love!

    I'm seeing Ghost live again tomorrow and thought it was about time this brilliant band got their own thread on the forum. I've followed Ghost since the release of their debut single Elizabeth, and I've enjoyed every release since then. Ghost is a big fucking circus with great music, and live they're a force of their own. Few bands can match the live shows of Ghost in 2016. As far as their live shows goes the most natural comparison would be Rammstein, rather than bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Foo Fighters. I think all three albums are top quality, but if I had to rate them: 1. Infestissumam Ghost goes pop-rock. Infestissumam sounds like a mix of Abba, Roky Erickson and with very little hard rock and heavy metal. Catchy as fuck. Only flaw is the weak production. Too polished and over-produced, but the brilliance of everything else makes up for it. Hightlights: Year Zero, Ghuleh / Zombie Queen and Monstrance Clock. 2. Opus Eponymous A hard rocking mix of Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate, though Mercyful Fate is named more or less only because of the atmosphere and feeling of the album. Highlights: Ritual, Elizabeth and Stand by Him. 3. Meliora By far their heaviest album IMO. An adventurous dig into progressive rock, heavy metal and hard rock. Sounds like a mix of Genesis, The Beatles and Blak Sabbath. Highlights: From the Pinnacle to the Pit, He Is and Absolution. I also think their covers of Abba's I'm a Marionette, Roky Erickson's If You Have Ghosts and The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun is as good, if not better, than the original songs. I also really like their cover art, even though the execution of Infestissumam is poor. But the film refrences of their cover art is nice and a cool touch to it all. Opus Eponymous - Salem's Lot Infestissumam - Amadeus If You Have Ghost - Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens Cirice - The Silence of the Lambs Meliora - Metropolis Year Zero - Paradise Lost (not a film, but still cool) They also have two tour shirts refrencing A Clockwork Orange and Jaws. Both looks sweet as fuck.
  4. I found a pretty new VK webshop today. It's called Chaotic Harmony and the have some pretty well priced goods from a handful of VK groups. They have a special deal going on now too for 10% off if you use the code Vkei10 at checkout. http://www.chaotic-harmony.net I really like the prices and I think some of the items can only be bought at lives.

  7. Was sorting through some of the half-finished translations on my computer and I found this. The romaji for the parts in ~~ might not be accurate because those lines are not written in the kanji I was working from - I did them by ear from the video. I think they were added when they re-recorded the song, and the kanji is for the original version. If you think I heard it wrong, please don't hesitate to let me know. My listening comprehension is not so good. ^^; I'm assuming that the setting is a circus like the one in Something Wicked This Way Comes, where normal people from town are somehow tricked into becoming the performers in the show. 猫目の伯爵ウェンディに恋をする / The Cat-Eyed Earl Falls in Love with Wendy Lyrics: Shingo Kuga Music: LIPHLICH ~In this bizarre world reflected in his cat eyes What will your eyes witness from now on?~ The cat-eyed earl sticks out his tongue inquisitively from under those eyes The circus tent has come to town from an eastern city Won’t you take your feathered hat off for the beautiful Wendy?* For today’s special feature, the IT president will jump through a ring of fire Circus is coming soon Circus is coming soon Come with me Catman walks on the street Well then, won’t you come over here? Catman walks on the street Tonight as well, they’re going crazy Take a look, Wendy The celebrity who cherishes nothing but her face has fallen from the ball And look up above, the artist has lost his footing on the tightrope This looks like it’s gonna hurt That shut-in kid has thrown a knife right into his teacher He’s gotten good at that, hasn’t he? The IT president that loves danger passes through the ring of fire Circus is going on Circus is going on Come with me Catman walks on the street Please stop doing dangerous things!** Catman walks on the street When you look at it through my eyes, it’s ridiculous*** Catman walks on the street If there are good things, there’ve gotta be bad things too Catman walks on the street Tonight as well, they’re going crazy ~Wendy, I wonder what kind of eyes you’re looking at me with now Even if you’re already looking at me like that, it’s fine**** Wendy, I wonder what kind of eyes I’m looking at you with now I can already only look at you like this~***** Catman walks on the street Wendy, where are you going? Catman walks on the street Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Catman walks on the street Are you really going to leave without saying anything? Catman walks on the street I guess it can’t be helped, since you’re just a human too… Notes: *, ***, ****, ***** Not too confident about these lines **With a playful tone, like “Come oooon guys, cut it out! *wink*” 猫目の伯爵ウェンディに恋をする/ Nekome no hakushaku Wendy ni koi o suru ~Nekome ga utsusu kimi o kiteretsu beta no sekai Kimi no me wa kore kara nani o mite iku ka no~ Nekome no hakushaku wa Sono me kara kouki no shita o dasu Higashi no machi kara ningen domo no misemonokoya ga kuru Uruwashii UENDI hane-tsuki boushi o totte kurenai ka Honjitsu no medama wa “IT shachou ga hinowa o kuguru” sa CIRCUS IS COMING SOON CIRCUS IS COMING SOON COME WITH ME CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Saa sa kochira ni oidenasai CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Koyoi mo karera wa baka o suru Mite goran UENDI Kao dake SEREBU ga tama kara ochita Hora sono ue de wa ekaki ga tsuna kara ashi fumihazushita Kore wa ita-sou da hikokomori ga nageta NAIFU ga kyoushi ni sasatta Tenareta mon da ne “Kiken ga osuki na IT shachou ga hinowa o kuguru” sa CIRCUS IS GOING ON CIRCUS IS GOING ON COME WITH ME CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Abunai koto wa o-yoshinasai CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Boku no me kara mirya Aho-rashii CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Ii koto areba iya na koto mo aru CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Koyoi mo karera wa baka o suru ~UENDI kimi wa ima donna me de boku o miteru ka Kimi ga mou sono mama ni boku o mite iru ga ii UENDI boku wa ima donna me de kimi o miteru ka Boku ga mou sono mama ni kimi o mite iru dake sa~ CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET UENDI doko ni yuku no da ne CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Doushite sonna me de boku o miru CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Nanimo iwazu ni dete yuku no kai CATMAN WALKS ON THE STREET Shouganai ka Datte kimi mo ningen dakara… Kanji: http://rocklyric.jp/lyric.php?sid=145522/%E7%8C%AB%E7%9B%AE%E3%81%AE%E4%BC%AF%E7%88%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%81%AB%E6%81%8B%E3%82%92%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B/LIPHLICH

  9. Here's another interview I translated a while ago. You can see how shoddy my Japanese is with this one because there are a few lines I just didn't get. I decided to highlight them in red rather than guess. ^ETA: hiroki kindly helped me out with the lines I was missing, so I've filled in those parts in highlighted in red. Thank you! <3 Original article: http://2youmag.com/2youmag_old/interview/2014/no41/pot.html -- A melodic punk band with Japanese lyrics coming out of Osaka, POT will release their first full album “ARCO IRIS” on TRUST RECORDS. TRUST RECORDS has signed a number of Nagoya bands such as BACK LIFT, THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS, ENTH, EVERLONG and more, but they are the only band from Osaka. This new release could be considered a compilation of five years of work, and it has twelve songs that show off the band’s distinctive triple vocal approach and plenty of variety. Disproving the idea that “TRUST = Nagoya”, POT have come from the west to take over the scene! Q: How was POT formed? Yoppy: Originally, me and Oda were in a band together, and Makoto and Yoshikun were in a different band. Then when both of our bands broke up the manager of the venue Kyobashi ism said “Guys, wouldn’t it be great if you started playing together?”. We weren’t really interested at first, though. Makoto: We knew of each other since both of our bands played at ism, but we weren’t really friends. I casually thought "I'll offer support for them", but when we entered the studio we decided to do a live. That's how we formed the band. Yoppy: At the time, I was starting another band, so I thought it would just be Oda going off to work with them, but in the end that band fizzled out as well and we ended up doing it together. Q: So you weren’t enthusiastically going “Let’s start a band!” when you got together… Makoto: It does sort of seem like we were forced into it. (laughs) Oda: That’s why we didn’t really talk about what kind of band we wanted to become either. Yoppy: It was only when Yoshikun said that he wanted to be the vocalist that we said “Doesn’t that seem a little off?” (laughs) But we never really discussed musicianship, we just jumped right into making original songs. Well, I guess that’s because the music we were listening to was similar. Q: What kind of bands make up your musical roots? Yoppy: MONGOL800. I think we all like them. Makoto: The band that got me interested in making music was 175R. I listened to “Happy Life” a lot. I think before that it was probably Yuzu? Yoshikun: Yeah, that’s right. I was listening to Yuzu and 19 (ジューク). Oda: Yeah, it was 19 (ジューク) for me too. Q: I see. So the reason POT has three vocalists is just because you all wanted to sing, then. (laughs) Yoppy: That’s right. (laughs) Since in our former band Oda and I used to do twin vocals and Yoshikun used to sing in his band as well, when we started POT we didn’t really think about who would be the main vocalist and it just spontaneously ended up with all of us singing. So we weren’t really aiming at having a triple vocal band, it just became this way naturally. Q: What kind of band is POT, in your eyes? Makoto: I think it’s a free band. Yoppy: A band where we’re free to do what we like to do…saying something like that is boring, isn’t it? (laughs) You see that kind of answer a lot in interviews. (laughs) Maybe I should change my answer. (they all laugh) Oda: Some older musicians have told us that we’re an “omnibus-like” band. Yoppy: I was really happy to hear that. The musical style of "POT" is entirely different, and with 3 people singing during the same song there isn't any sense of "unity"*. Since one of our senpai told us that we’re an omnibus-like band I’ve become especially conscious of that. (*Meaning that there is a varied sound they can only achieve with three vocalists. I think what he's getting at is that because they switch between vocalists and combine their voices in different ways over the course of each track their songs don't get monotonous.) Q: It’s kind of like the way The Beatles worked, then. You bring together songs from each member and you each sing them. Yoppy: That’s it. The Beatles, that’s us. (laughs) Q: We know that your first full album “ARCO IRIS” will be released by TRUST RECORDS, but how did you end up with them? Makoto: We played a lot of shows with bands like BACK LIFT, MISTY, ENTH and EVERLONG. But we’d never really talked to the owner Watatani-san much. Yoppy: We just sort of said amongst ourselves that we wanted to join TRUST, and it was just like we were suddenly pushed in. (laughs) Q: So you asked them directly? Yoppy: Yeah, we totally did. But us selfishly, or should I say stubbornly, going “Please let us join your label” and them deciding by going “Well, I guess you can” looks pretty bad. In the end, I wanted it to be the reverse with them asking us (laughs). Makoto: We had meetings for about a half a year. (laughs) Yoppy: Yeah, and in the end TRUST said “Do you want release something with us?” Q: So in the end they asked you (laughs). Yoppy: Yeah, and we were like “Well, since you asked, we’ll take you up on it.” (they all laugh) Makoto: And yet, we were so happy. (laughs) Q: From your view outside of Nagoya, what kind of label is TRUST RECORDS? Yoppy: It really does have a completely Nagoya image, doesn’t it. I would almost say that it’s like their Nagoya colours are so strong that it’s like “Aren’t all Nagoya bands on TRUST?”. That’s why I thought it would be interesting to have a band from Osaka on the label. Q: This album really seems like a compilation of everything you’ve done up till now. I also thought it’s kind of rare these days to debut with a full-length release. Makoto: Yeah, all the TRUST bands seem to lead off with a mini-album. But we wanted to release all our existing songs in this album and make a fresh start. That’s why it’s packed with everything we’ve released so far. And this is the first time we’ve really gotten a CD pressed. Now it’s easy to get something pressed, but some people told me they were really grateful that we’ve finally released something with nationwide distribution. I was so moved by that. This time, we were even deeply involved with the details of the jacket, so we’ve put a lot of strong feelings into the package. Yoppy: I really don’t want people to listen to it on random. I hope they’ll listen to the songs in order at least once. That’s the voice of my heart calling out to you. (laughs) Q: It seems like there are new meetings ahead of you. Yoppy: The reason we make CDs is to get people to come to the venues. If people think the CD is good, I hope they’ll come and get the 3D experience at one of our lives. Oda: Over the past five years POT has created a staggering amount of songs, but we chose the ones on this album out of all of those, so please enjoy listening to them. Yoshikun: There are some people we used to meet up with at the live houses all the time that we haven’t been able to see recently. I hope this CD will give us a chance to see them again. I’m also looking forward to meeting new people in regions that we haven’t been able to visit yet. Yoppy: Huh? Are you crying? (they all laugh) -- POT: Yoshikun (Vocals and guitar), Yoppy (Vocals and bass), Oda (Vocals and guitar), Makoto (Drums)

  13. Again, not my interview. I just translated it from Japanese. Here's the original article: http://2youmag.com/2youmag_old/interview/2014/no38/ever.html -- A three-piece band with a unique point of view located squarely in the middle of Nagoya’s melodic punk scene, EVERLONG will release their first full-length album “Plant Worm”. Calling their music “poppy, simple and catchy”, they’re experiencing a big surge in popularity nationwide. We hope that you can see how they have progressed since their previous release “Lovers”. Q: So you’re finally releasing a full album. Mituhiro: Yeah, we were finally able to do it. This time composing songs was really hard. “Lovers” was a song we just came up with while we were having fun, but this is the first time we actually had to think about making an album while we were writing. But we really honed the core of our sound with this album, so I have confidence in it. Q: “Lovers” was released only a year after you formed the band, but what were the reactions like? Mituhiro: People we didn’t know started coming to our lives. I was really shocked by that at first. Yuta: I’d be sitting at the merch table, and a variety of audience members would come up and say “I listened to your CD” or “I watched your PV”. For people to say that they were listening to our music , and that they liked it, that was a huge change after the CD was released. Mituhiro: So I’m really happy that now we can release a full album like this. Q: Do you have a concept for the album? Mituhiro: It’s “memories”. We made the album thinking of our single “Orange” as its centre, and we were trying to make a release packed with various memories and overflowing with vitality. Q: What does the title “Plant Worm” mean? Yuta: The name is a reference to “caterpillar fungus” (Ophiocordyceps sinensis), a fungus that parasitizes bugs. Mituhiro: I read a lot of books, and one mentioned the “caterpillar fungus”. In the winter, it parasitizes a bug, then the bug dies and it absorbs its life force and becomes a mushroom, and it almost seems like it can grow into a plant or person too. I thought, “Wow, this thing is just full of vitality”, and I wanted to name the album “touchuukasou” (“caterpillar fungus”). Yuta: I thought the part about changing from a bug to a plant with the seasons was a good link to how we’ve changed. That’s what the title means. Q: Yes, I felt the change you’ve undergone in the song “Orange”. In particular, I felt like the way you wrote the lyrics was a little different. Mituhiro: I want to be able to say things without being afraid of misunderstandings, but otherwise I don’t really know whether we’re a band that writes English lyrics, or if we’re a type “A” band or type “B”. I want to establish our originality, so people can say “This is like EVERLONG”. I think that came to fruition with “Orange”. With this album, coming up with “Orange” was really important. Q: Speaking of originality, I think it really came out with a bang in the sense your Japanese lyrics have. Mituhiro: I’m happy to hear that. Q: I’ve also never heard a melodic punk band use the word “shiyashanse” in their lyrics. (laughs) Mituhiro: Ahahaha. Yuta: That’s because we actually started writing the song “Gunjou tansan” by thinking that we wanted to use the word “shiyashanse”. (laughs) Mituhiro: I think that word has a good feeling to it. When I had “shiyashanse”, the hook and melody just suddenly came to me. I also played around with a lot of other words in that song, so it’s a really special song for me. I think it’s kind of like what would happen if we made “Orange” more fun. On this album, I guess maybe what we’ve done is take different approaches to the world view we had in “Orange”. Q: Is there a song you’re particularly attached to in terms of guitar playing? Yuta: “MAYOICOM” started from a guitar riff, but since I was able to do what I wanted with it, I’m happy with that song. Mituhiro: "Venus" is good too. Yuta: Yeah. With this album, I think I was able to achieve what I wanted to with each song. Mituhiro: Well, in any case, the guitar on this album is cool. Q: In track 8, “K.I.M”, are you singing about Kimu-kun*? (Note: *Their drummer’s name is Kimu) Yuta: It’s totally about Kimu. (laughs) Mituhiro: I wonder if it’s okay to talk about this? (laughs) Kimu: It’s fine. (laughs) Mituhiro: We’re all classmates, but this time, only Kimu had to repeat a year. (they all roar with laughter) Yuta: It’s a “Please give me one more chance” song. Kimu: It’s “One more time, one more chance”.**(they all roar with laughter) (Note: **This is a line from the song, and it’s in English in the lyrics. Yuta paraphrases it in Japanese, and Kimu quotes it directly in English) Yuta: It’s a message song to his family. (they all roar with laughter) Mituhiro: Yeah, this became the most real song on the album. (laughs) Q: So emo. (laughs) This new album also has “Smile” on it, so it seems like a bit of a summary of the band’s history so far. Yuta: Yeah. “Smile” has some of the very first music we made in it, and since it was released on a limited CD I’m happy we were able to put it on the album. After all, I definitely want people outside of that area to be able to listen to it. Q: I’m sure that after listening to this album people will be surprised by how much you’ve grown in such a short period of time. Mituhiro: Thank you. I talked to the members about this as well, but I really feel like our sound has been refined because there are so many other bands from the same generation around us. Q: How do you see the rise of the Nagoya melodic punk scene? Mituhiro: I never really wanted to become a “Nagoya melocore band”, but because I wanted EVERLONG to get established, we joined TRUST RECORDS, but I don’t really pay any special attention to the scene. Q: I see. Maybe that comes out in your music as well. Like it doesn’t really seem to belong to anywhere. Mituhiro: I want to make a band that’s unique. For example, we recently played a live with MINAMI NiNE, and they’re really one of a kind. I want us to become a band like that. Q: When I heard you play a song with “shiyashanse” in the lyrics, I started to feel that way about EVERLONG. Mituhiro: Ahahaha. Yuta: That’s because when we put it in the we were saying “There probably aren’t that many bands that will write ‘shiyashanse’ in their lyrics” to each other. (laughs) Mituhiro: On our previous mini-album when I wrote the line “hamigaki shi-nagara MOONIN MOONIN”*** for the song “Tomorrow”, people told me it was lame. But since that sort of thing leaves an impression on people, I decided to look at it as a positive. (Note: ***Something like “While I’m brushing my teeth, moaning moaning”) Q: Once again, what kind of album would you say “Plant Worm” is? Kimu: I think it’s album unlike anything we’ve done before and one where we’ve taken on new challenges. I think we’ll be able to take a new step forward. Yuta: I think in our previous work we had collected a lot of influences from other bands and they came out a lot, but this time I think little by little we’re beginning to move away from that and EVERLONG’s true essence is starting to present itself. Mituhiro: Yeah, EVERLONG is finally becoming EVERLONG. This is an album where we really put a lot of effort into honing the essence of the band, and I’m confident that when people hold it in their hands they’ll be able to say “They’ve finally become EVERLONG”. Yuta: You’re really set on that, aren’t you? (laughs) Q: That sounded a little too cool, so to finish up, Kimu-kun, why don’t you leave a message for your parents? (laughs) Mituhiro: Wahahaha. Kimu: Dad, mom, thanks for always being so kind. I’m going to keep doing my best at college for a little longer, so please give me a chance. (they all roar with laughter) EVERLONG: Mituhiro (vocal and bass), Kimu (drums and chorus), Yuta (vocal and guitar) Website: http://everlong-nagoya.com/

    Does anyone know good anime that focus around rock bands ? BECK (26 episodes): I think this is the best one because it explains lots of things about learning an instrument and being in a band. http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2320 I've watched Kaikan Phrase which is closer to the visual kei genre, but after some episodes, it starts to get boring, too much romance and less talk about music, anyway, it was worth it because of the music and the first episodes. The band that did the soundtrack was called Lucifer. The songs are very nice. Kaikan Phrase (44 episodes): http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=843 To-y (1 OVA): I've found this one searching through anidb website, it looks like a classic. http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2922 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Wyj9dy__Y

  19. Not my interview, I just translated from here: http://2youmag.com/2youmag_old/interview/2014/no40/noa.html My Japanese sucks, so I marked anything that might be way off with a *. -- A band that has performed at festivals like FUJI ROCK, COMIN’ KOBE, SSMC and embarked on large-scale tours, Osaka’s NOA is certainly a young, first-rate band that has shown growth and one that THE NINTH APOLLO can be proud of, and now they’ve released a four-track single that could be called their defining work “3days of April / Sekai no owari to yoake mae”. This is their first release in a year, and it clearly presents the two pillars of the band: the melodic punk with English lyrics from Nishiura Shunsuke and Japanese rock from Tsumoto Aki, which coexist in this work. We hope you can appreciate this release; four songs packed with the essence of the current NOA. Q: This is your first release in a year, what were you up to during that time? Aki: We were playing a lot of concerts. The year went by in the blink of an eye. Nishiura: Before we noticed, 2013 was over. (laughs) Q: Your previous release “picture diary” was your first to feature Japanese lyrics. What were the reactions to that like? Aki: I think it went over pretty well. I was a little nervous about that though. (laughs) Nishiura: It was a spontaneous decision to start using Japanese lyrics. Aki just said that he wanted to try singing in Japanese. I think Aki has given NOA an even greater range of possibilities by doing that. Q: So NOA has two pillars now, Aki-kun singing in Japanese and Nishiura-kun singing in English? Aki: It’s not something we were aiming for, this is more a result of us each just making music we like. We want to do different things. But I’m starting to think that that’s a good thing. We don’t want to be a band that people get tired of listening to, so we’re not going to fight the urge to do different things. Q: So, is it safe to say that instead of a starting the band with a clear genre or theme in mind, NOA was formed by the members bringing together the types of music they liked? Aki: We did start this band with a plan, but it was never really like “Let’s do this kind of music”. Nishiura: Even now, I don’t think we’ve really decided on one particular genre. Q: Of course. When did you start working on this new single? Nishiura: Sometime around last summer. Aki: Right after we finished our “picture diary” tour, we started thinking about the next move. We’d decided that we were going to make a single next, but since we were doing too many lives we didn’t really get a chance to work on it until the tour was over. Q: On this single you can really see the different colours of the band - the melodic punk side and the guitar rock side - coexisting. Aki: Yes, I guess it came out that way. Nishiura: Yes, but we didn’t really have a concept in mind. It feels more like Aki and I both just did what we wanted and it came out this way. Q: Aki-kun and Nishiura-kun’s songs clearly have a different colour, but the way that NOA can contain both of them is interesting, isn’t it? Aki: I’m happy you feel that way. I started wanting to try to make music in Japanese, so this single is half Japanese, but I think it really reflects the current NOA well. Q: So, how do you approach each other’s music? Aki: How do we…? Nishiura: We don’t really interfere with each other’s work. I guess you could say that we respect the creator’s intention. Aki: Yeah, we don’t interfere with each other. Nishiura: Aki’s songs are Aki’s songs. It’s the same with mine. Aki: Regardless of whose song we use, if the three of us play it, it becomes NOA. Q; So maybe it’s like the way The Beatles worked? Like how even if each member would bring in songs that were completely different, they would bring them into existence together? Aki: That, that’s cool, isn’t it? (laughs) From now on, we’re going to describe ourselves like that. (laughs) Q: In your mind, what kind of band is NOA? Aki: We’re by no means a cheerful band, we’re not really a band will get people in high spirits or make them smile, but I want NOA to be a band that respects the individual feelings of people who listen to our music, and one that helps people see things in a deeper light.* Q: So, let’s come back to this again, what kind of work is this single to you? Aki: Since I think it’s natural to think that our most recent work is the best, naturally, this new single is our best yet. Nishiura: Personally, I think that this work is an important foothold for our next step. I think it’s easy to see where the band is headed by listening to it. Q: Does the band have a specific outlook? Aki: I can’t really pinpoint one. We’ll do what we like to do, and then I want a variety of other people to give us their impressions.* Nishiura: NOA has two pillars, but I think it’s when those two pillars finally meet somewhere that we’ll really be able to see where we’re headed. Q: I really feel that you can see your individual colours clearly in this work. I’m excited to see how those two colours will mix. Nishiura: Since they’re so clearly divided on this single, we’re also excited to see how we can bring them together. Q: Lastly, please leave a message for your listeners. Yuu: I want people to listen to this single during their everyday lives. It’s not really for special times, so if people listen to it during their daily routine I’d be happy.* Nishiura: There are different ways of listening to it depending on the person, so I’d be really happy if a lot of different people listened to it. Aki: I don't think there's any point in saying “Listen to it this way!”, I’d be happy if everyone listened to it freely. Please give it a try. -- 3days of April 世界の終わりと夜明け前 / Sekai no owari to yoake mae http://www.indiesmusic.com/musicvideo/video.asp?id=12295

  22. Did half of this a long time ago, and I finally got around to finishing it. It probably has some mistakes, but I think the gist of what he's saying is there. Our Internal War* Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei The clothes that I’m wearing are things that were made by someone else The thoughts that I’m struck with are ideas that someone else has had before I turn all the originality I can summon up into a weapon And face my invisible enemies Over and over, I brandish it in front of them How long will this internal war continue? What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape? Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone** When I can’t grab hold of anything like this, I wonder who exactly I want to become The road that I should set my sights on is a path that was made by someone else Even the wall that I’m fighting against is a wall that someone else has already passed over before me Even the best answer I’ve ever come up with – one that I’ve searched for with all my might Was met with comments like “Isn’t that idea played out?” from people I don’t know*** So, what should I do? How long will this internal war continue? What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape? Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone When I can’t grab hold of anything like this, I wonder who exactly I want to become How long will this internal war continue? What the hell will it take to mould my vague existence into shape? Ah, before I know it I’ll be gone But I’m me, this is how I am, And I can't become someone else Let’s continue our internal war like this They might not be enough to dazzle anyone else**** But I hope we can find our answers someday I’ve gotta head out on the 8 o’clock train I’ve gotta head out on the 8 o’clock train Notes: *as in a war between a person and his/her self **I'm assuming this means he’ll be dead and out of time ***I'm really not sure about this line ****Or this 僕らの自分戦争 / Bokura no jibun sensou Boku ga mi ni tsukeru MONO wa dareka ga tsukutta tsukuriMONO Boku ga omoitsuku KOTO mo dareka ga saki ni yatta KOTO Hineridaseru kagiri no ORIGINARITI o buki ni shite Mienai teki ni mukai Nandomo sore o furikazashita Bokura no jibun sensou Itsumade tsuzuku no?

  24. Okay, my first review and I don't think I'm good at this stuff. I mean Zess-sama is so intimidating. But, since Lycaon is like my everything, so here i go. I have to start off with this is how one does an album from Japan. It makes me forget about all other album except theirs previous of course really. With that being said, this is not their best album as the others could go toe to toe with this, I explained the bands constant rate of greatness. This Album however does bring their discography together unlike others so some wouldn't really be surprised by oh they did that, excluding some of the vocals from the first two years. The big thing that this album does is bring the other members into the spotlight especially Satoshi and Zero. Before at least for me, it was just Yuuki, and they were his back up. Now the group shares the attention. With this review I’m not going to review the old tracks, since the new songs themselves are what are important to me. btw This song shocked me the most, even more then MRC because I wasn't expecting this layout. 01 Camera obscura-SE-: Starts of a Nice creepy SE music box playing with evil laughing, then with a girl scream signals the electronic dubstep sound giving MRC lovers some familiarity, they comes on the violin giving it that somber sound signaling the seriousness of the album. At the end it moves faster. This does a great job of grabbing listener’s attention while signaling something different for current followers as we hear new sounds. Also for an album called CO it sets the mood. 10/10 02 tsuioku: It starts off with this high pitch sound that leads into like dark chase music similar to like an orchestra to open the song, and then come yuuki singing strong and raw (what?) then the main riffage/ which had me worried with how simple it was, but it was a false alarm as the instrumental picked up with the chorus and got interesting. Then the cool down part where Yuuki's switches and scream I'll never let you down my pets. Later on we get a lead in that leads to a core/ish break down paired with violin play. It gives a nice break from the seriousness. Following the breakdown is a nice guitar solo that flow with the song not interrupting. Finally Yuuki ends it on a beautiful high. (I want more). I give it a 10/10 for being a great opening, setting this off strong, encouraging listeners to keep going. 03 Dark Night: Starting of with a drum roll and kind of a electronic snare grabbing attention for the fast pace hard crunching riffage that follows which you can really head bang to. Turns out this is just leading to an awesome metalcore riffs. You my say "oh i herd them before" but the ending to the riffs sound different. Anyway Yuuki come on clean singing fast with sounds in the background this time he sounds more relaxed. Then we have the dark part which is fairly breakdownish with the opera "oooooo" in the background, and Yuuki voice echoing. Then later is the part that reminds me of the song title as Yuuki changes his voice into a higher like a night riding threw the darkness. Also there is fun solo. 10/10 for making excellent use of outside sounds and going against the norm. 04 Liar: obviously this the fun track of the album in which you can hop/headbang to with the psychedelic jelly chime, catchy beat, and yuuki going "ooo liaahh" all sexy on and off during the main riffs the chorus is sweet too with the flow. Yuuki for the first though later on does this whisper thing where it is up front and leading you on a sweet ride. Also great job with the guitar solo. 10/10 05 anshitsu -SE-: back to creepy with like a demon whispering and someone taking a pictures 10/10 06 marionette: open with the giggles of a child. the instrumental comes on a with heavy bass paired with guitar singing and it goes in thumbs while yuuki singing hypnotically. I would have liked it to be longer and maybe lead somewhere but with what’s given 10/10. it's kind is like a more badass dark Kuro no dachura. 08 kimi wo kowasu garasu no shoudou: open with dark orchestra which come in later a few times later, followed by serious toned guitar shredding to later change into a rocking side to side beat then up and down in which Yuuki sings his heart out. Another guitar solo followed by a quick breakdown. so lovely 10/10 09 kuchiduke-SE-: guitar break. 10/10 10 Rouge: It is like a cross over of uro no neko and gossip and i freaking love it! Though the vocal here are really timid which creates a great effect, this is my favorite jazzy song from them. Also love the piano. 10/10 12 anemone: kind of like cross over between Ai wa kirameki no naka ni and Love song but piano & violin based. It is indeed full of love and very touching. In the Japanese scene winning hands down but compared to the Arabic scene not so much. Yuuki sing is too concentrated, and doesn't flow free, like where is that falsetto and high notes that drop me dead? But 10/10 for sure sing it was great just not the best and it's not like i can hold that against him. 15 ILLUSION: open with be boob sound, to lead in a great one lined song as in the instrumental seems like it all come together to form one thing. Love the vocals and switches to different parts. lol there the breakdown which was kind of like a punch to you know who's face with the metalcore drops then electronic sounds/ dubstep. ha love the lasers! The way they ended it with the double bassing and picking up speed is kind like end of delusion 10/10 16 melancholic: Love the obscured sounds with the guitar as an opening. Later we have this funky guitar playing coupled with heavy riffs of base and the other guitar. Sound so good with the contrast. Later some great shredding and vocals. Also the great breakdown with a lead. Yuuki moaning while the guitar is getting ready, that part finishing with a inhale, he then let out a throaty scream as the break down comes on heavy. 10/10 17 gypsy: lol didn't see this coming, the search for something new lead to latino music though Malice mizer might have been the influence. Yuuki opens it up with his lovely voice but end on that "OMG" voice which doesn't come back which is disappointing. Anyway really lovely song with the groovy bass, clam shells and guitaring. 10/10 kind of classy too. 18 endroll-SE-: the ending to CO really nice. Similar to Super junior M swing's breakdown 10/10 saying good bye but I will be back. After listening to it is really just, wonderful, amazing, lovely, great, and top notch! They tried new things when i thought they might have went dry and used things from the past show that they haven't forgotten how they started and moved along. Disappointments but not killers no screams, and not a lot of falsetto/highnotes. Since the instrumental doesn't scream harsh or power the scream are not needed. And I think it’s just his style/background that makes him sing that way. If you don't love this album ___ _ ____
