Tokyo Jihen

Tokyo Jihen, my new favourite performer. Yeah, they're unique. First time I hear their song "Shounan" I say, "it's pretty good". The intro with the bass (or guitar ?), so simple but cool. My sisters says their song was weird, But not for me.
I found some interesting facts from wikipedia about this band. One of this facts: One of their member, Seiji Kameda, is a producer who poroduce many famous musicians and bands, include : Do As Infinity, Charcoal Filter, Spitz, Ken Hirai, Pierrot, Plastic Tree, Sophia, and YUKI! Wow! What a famous man! Wanna see his profile in wikipedia, click here.

Thanks!

Romanesque

Hello, today I want to introduce you a new song. The title is Romanesque, performed by Fiction Juction YUUKA SeeSaw. If you have seen Gundam Seed, they're the performer of Annani Issho Datta no Ni, the first ED from Gundam Seed. Here is the lyrics:

owaranai natsu no you ni
chiranai hana no you ni
dakishimeta sono ude wozutto hanasanaideite yo

akogare wo kurikaeshi doko e mo yukenakute mo
dakishimeta sono ude wo zutto hanasanaideite yo
ima, kinou mo ashita mo moyashi tsukushite mo ii
setsunasa no tachidomaru
kono hitotoki ga futari no subete yo

sugaritsuite mite mo
mune wa mada chigau hakanasa de
toki no RIZUMU kazoeteru
akai hoshi no yoru

kiete yuku nukumori tsunagi tometai no yo
hitomi tojita kimi wo

akogare wo kurikaeshi doko e mo yukenakute mo
dakishimeta sono ude wo zutto hanasanaideite yo
toki no nagusame no subete keshisatte mo ii
setsunasa wo yakitsukushi
ima ikiteiru no koko ni
futari de

mune ga itamu hodo no jounetsu ni
kokoro yudanetara
nakushita mono kono ude ni
torimodoseru you de
wakeatta namida ga kobore ochinai you
hitomi tojiteita no

owaranai natsu no you ni
chiranai hana no you ni
dakishimeta sono ude wo
zutto hanasanaideite yo
ima, yorube no nai koi ni kiesatte mo ii
setsunasa no tachidomaru
kono hitotoki ga futari no subete yo

That's the lyrics. I took it from animelyrics.com, my favourite lyrics link.
This song have no translate, so I don't understand it. But I still like the music. Fiction Junction YUUKA SeeSaw is one of my favourite performer. They've great sense of music, and their songs is easy listening and good to ear.
Actually, I've the song before this song become an OST from El Cazador de la Bruja. So, I can guarantee its a good song. If you want to see the youtube video, click this link or this link. If you want to see the OST version, go to this link.
When you hear it first, you'll feel you hear the Latin music, with the guitar instruments play. You will feel the Latin nuance from this song. That's the good point from this performer. They always write and sing the song with great meaning and nice melody. I like their song.
Try to hear it once. And I guess you'll like it! Thanks!


P.S: Ooops, looks like I've made a mistake again! It's not perform by FictionJunction YUUKA, but SeeSaw. Sorry for this wrong information.

kanashimi wo yasashisa ni

I decide to review about the Naruto OST again. This time, Kanashimi o Yasashisa ni. This is the 3rd opening song from Naruto.
This song have a cheerful tones. Its beat is medium, about 180 bpm maybe. The combination between the music and the singer make some unique and great harmonization in my ears. I like that.
In Naruto Opening Theme Song version, this song describe about the life of naruto, from his childhod until become a gennin. When he is only a little child, no one want to be his friend (except for some kids). Everyone hatee him because the kyuubi on his body. Everyone isolated him and stand so far from him. But he never give up and he keep trying to find the place of his own.
He got it on his team, the 7th team. His teammates, friends, teachers, is his precious and important treasure. He loves them.
In Little By Little Version (the performer), the song tells about a girl who take a trip with her bicycle. Until now, I don't have the link for the performer version. I just look te video from my senior on my university. Maybe someone have it? Tell me if you have the DL site for this performer version, please.
And here is the song (in Japanese) lyrics that I took from http://www.animelyrics.com:

sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
mayoinagarademo ii
arukidashite
mou ikkai mou ikkai
dareka no kitai ni zutto kotae

homerareru no ga suki nano desuka?
naritai jibun wo surikaetemo
egao wa itsudemo suteki desuka?

hajimaridake yume mite okiru
sono saki nara itsuka jibun no ude de
souda daiji na mono wa itsumo

katachi no nai mono dake
te ni iretemo nakushitemo kizukanumama

sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
mayoinagarademo ii
arukidashite
mou ikkai mou ikkai

zurui otona wa deau tabi
atama gohashi na sekkyou dake
jibun wo sunao ni dasenaku natte
kizutsukinagara sugu ni togatte

atarashii kaze mikata ni tsukete
sagashite iinda itsuka aoi tori wo

souda daiji na mono wa itsumo
katachi no nai mono dake
te ni iretemo nakushitemo kizukanumama

sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
mayoinagarademo ii
arukidashite

namida no ato ni wa nazeka fukkireta
sora ni niji ga deru you ni shizen na koto
ame wa agatta

dakara daiji na mono wa itsumo
katachi no nai mono dake
te ni iretemo nakushitemo kizukanumama

sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
kiminara kitto yareru shinjite ite
mou ikkai mou ikkai mou ikkai mou ikkai?

I mark the lyrics with red because that is the lyrics for the TV size version. The translation for the red lyrics is this:

turning sadness into kindness
your uniqueness into strenght
it's okay to get lost
so begin walking
once again, once again

do you like to be praised by

answering everyone's expectations?
will your smile always be beautiful
even if you hide your true self?

just dreaming the beginning then waking up
the continuation can be reached someday by myself

the most important thing is always
without any shape
even if you have it or lose it
you'll never know

turning sadness into kindness
your uniqueness into strenght
it's okay to get lost so begin walking
once again, once again

Wow, It's have a deep meaning. It tells us to brave always, always have the guts to walking again when we fall down. So positive, isn't it?
For everyone who have some bad memories, who have felt on he/she lifes, just listen this song and be brave. This is a good song. You can DL it on http://downloads.khinsider.com or other link that I've give to you. Seeya next time!
May GOD Bles Us!



If everyone's hands handle one of music instrument, I believe
there's no war in this world....
Because there's no hands can handle a weapon
to fight another one.
That's why I love music....
Because it's universal
and peaceful.
