Listening : 夜明け前 / the strange drama
Sometimes I am really surprised by how I give up hope over certain things.
I seemed not to care, everything's dying inside of me though.
I try to escape, as if I am not related to this world at all.
Or I shall say the society.
I try to put up a facade, and oh well, I always succeed in that,
as if I am someone that had mastered the art of it.
Life goes on no matter what happens or what you do.
Who the fuck that says "life must always be flawless"?
Idiot shit think that way man.
I really cannot stand people that gives me 'EW YOU SCOLDING VULGARITIES OH NO I AM NOT GOING TO FRIEND YOU'kind of face.
Such imbecile bullshit should really be eradicated from this planet.
先日、〈T.TAKAMIZAWA ソロプロジェクト2010〉と題し、ソロ・ツアーの開催やリリース情報を発表した高見沢俊彦。彼が8月25日に発売するニュー・アルバム『Fantasia』の詳細があきらかとなった。 2007年に発表した『Kaleidoscope』以来、約3年ぶりのオリジナル・アルバムとなる本作には、みうらじゅん、つんく、氣志團の綾小路翔、リリーフランキーが作詞を担当した楽曲を収録。さらに、B'zの松本孝弘、マーティ・フリードマン、聖飢魔IIやCANTAのメンバーとして活動するルーク篁、浅倉大介、SEX MACHINEGUNSのANCHANG、ALvinoのKOJIらがゲスト・ミュージシャンして名を連ねている。ヴェテランから若手バンドまでヴァラエティー豊かなゲストが参加したことも話題を呼んだ前作に続き、今回も彼と豪華アーティストたちによるコラボレートが楽しめる1枚となりそうだ。なお本作は、〈Takamiy・Flying A IV 型USBスペシャルメモリ〉仕様の完全生産限定盤、“月姫”“Vampire ~誘惑のBlood~”のPVを収めたDVD付きの限定盤、CDのみの通常盤の3種でリリースされる。 9月15日にはニュー・シングルの発売も決定している。こちらの続報も楽しみに待とう!

This song has accomplished the job of making my eyes brimmed with tears.
Again.
In comparison with Okay, it is not as sad/melancholic. But somehow the nostalgic melody the lyrics make my heart wrecked. I feel that it is the common characteristic of Inaba-3's solo works, always sad, but not the "I WANNA DIE" that kind of frivolous sadness,
something deeper. Mining for meaning amid the lyrical world of Koshi Inaba? LOL
The clouds vanished as they floated by Our faces are not the same as the past days You look a little bit thinner in my eyes But please don't worry, you are still beautiful
つらいことばかり 多すぎたなら 泣けるときに泣こう それが人だからね
There are too many troubles and turmoils we will encounter Cry if you can, because that's what humans are
There will be a hand of salvation reaching out from somewhere, right? Whoever's laughter and the warmth of hands on top of another What kind of words will leave a stain In that dessert-like arid heart of yours?
Koshi Inaba's long-anticipated new album 「Hadou」has been decided to be released!!
His newest single 「Okay」will be included in this album, as well as the Ending song for 「NEWS23X」(Now On-air) and the Ending song for the Anime "kekkaishi"「Akai Ito」which has not been released since 2006. All total of 15 songs will be featured in the album.
The bonus DVD for the limited edition will include a total of 11 PVs of his previous solo works.
I WONDER WHEN WILL I FINISH THIS LOR. AND I WONDER ANYONE WILL READ LOR. LOOK HOW BOLIAO AM I LOR. Very tired...So just 10 Anyway not arranged in any order.
Disclamation: My command of English language is extremely horrible; it isn’t my mother tongue so please do not FLAME at me.
Well I started listening Japanese music in 2007 when I came across B’z on MTV, kind of late huh. I was immediately CAPTIVATED by their ultimate and wild energy and of course, my Japanese music obsession officially kicked off. So here are some of my recommendations. As I am not really a big fan of JE, so I didn’t include them in my list since I know too little about them. Maybe what I recommend here may not be suitable for any Japanese music starters, but I wish if you ever read this, you will give a chance to all these tracks I’ve listed. They are all good.
1. DEEP KISS / B’z Well, I guess this is not their most famous one (now their most famous one is Ichibu to Zenbu LOL), but this is a song that really shows how fantastic this legendary J-ROCK band that debuted in 1988 with a total sales of 80 millions in Japan alone is. Tak’s guitar solo and Koshi’s signature shouts in this track are definitely amazing. It was released in 1997, a year where their hidden talents got a chance to shine free and unrestrained.
2. Sotsugyo / Yutaka Ozaki One of the most respected singers in the history (referring to Japan…) He is signified as the spirit of the young. He has not been forgotten despite his death in 1992. I love the way that his lyrics are written, I love the way how he performs on stage. This is one of his most controversial songs in the conservative 80s since it is about rebellion(?). If you have a chance, watch any live of his, you will be touched by his ALL-OUT performance.
3. Ginga / Fujifabric The PV is kinda surreal. Okay this is not my point. Actually they don’t really stand out in the midst of bands like Baseball bear and School food punishment since they are very similar in terms of style, all very British Rock-influenced. But this song is definitely a masterpiece. The retro melody blended with the surrealism of the lyrics and the PV, interesting combination.
4. Lillies and Remains / Moralist S.S. A J-Rock band that debuted last year with this song. In fact I was so shocked to know that it is actually a Japanese band... Their style is very western-influenced, so kind of innovative(?), recommend to those who want something new.
5. Akuma / Kiyoshi Ryuujin An insanely talented young singer that started his music career when he was 16 and debuted in 2009 with the single "morning sun". This song was included in the Album "WORLD" which was released in 2010/2. It is a funky one, with catchy drum beats. The chorus at the end of the track is simply outstanding. Anyway I think his unique voice really brought life to his works.
6. bukiyou na joukei / SPANK PAGE A band that I can't find any information LOL. There's nothing about them on Wikipedia. But so far from what I know, they are formed in 2004 and debuted in 2009. Their songs often reminded me of RADWIMPS, mellow and mysterious, probably Nakategawa (vo. of SP) sounded to similar to Noda (vo. of RADWIMPS).
7. Nijyuu-yon ji no laundry / Tomoyuki Nagasawa I fell in love with him immediately after listening to this song, and I bought his latest(?) mini album "silentsiren" although this song isn't included. His lyrics are good, very poetic. Somehow I really love mellow songs, not those ballads though. Again, I CANNOT FIND HIS INFO.
8. Give Me Body Sexy Body / URGH POLICE Okay I HAVE ENOUGH OF BANDS I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. Hard Rock band formed in 1983 but disbanded. In my opinion (one-sided LOL), I think J-Rock is the best in the 80s - 90s. It sounded very different from what Kazuya Yoshii (b. the composer of this song) is doing now.
9. Milky way / LOUDNESS Do I need to say more? THE GREATEST METAL BAND IN THE 80s! THIS SONG JUST FUCKING KICK ASS. BUT SOME BRAIN-DEAD PEOPLE JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE. 10. picture / Pay Money To My Pain Hard Rock Punk band debuted in 2004. One thing I like about them is that they can have songs that are really extremely negative, yet can they can have this kind of songs that really makes people happy. Not so fast tempo, but it is still good <3
