I can feel ZIN's energy [2]

Please note the lyrics are all gathered up from various places. I simply fixed a lot of the errors I found (there was a fair bit!), writing it up as printed on the lyrics sheets (thanks to this post and Naaaaani for taking photos of the lyrics!) This means that the lyrics may be sung a different way, but written as seen here, because as I found out while doing this, a lot of the lyrics floating around seem to be written by ear... If there are still any errors, please let me know. I spent far too much time on this because I was bored... I figured I'd share for anyone else who was interested. Notes: I'm not posting lyrics from Lu:Ciel or objexxx because I don't have an image of the print lyrics to go off of to make sure they're correct. There's a transcription of 呪ワレタ楽園ノ影 I found, because on the tape for it, there's no posted lyrics; not posting that becasue I'm not sure if it's correct either. (I will post them if asked, however.) 還ラザル記憶… (Kaerazaru kioku...) Fun Fact! On the 呪ワレタ楽園ノ影… tape, these lyrics are credited as the lyrics to 切断, and vice versa. 腐乱ユエニ… (Furan yue ni...) 生命ノ罪…(Seimei no tsumi...) 生命ノ罪…(Kuroi namida) 架空ト現実…(Kakuu to genjitsu) [1] This spoken piece is correct for 生命ノ罪… release of this song, not in the 架空ト現実… DT. For the 架空ト現実… DT, this line is different, but it's not on the lyric sheet, either. 切断 (Setsudan) Note: There is a spoken part in the beginning of the song, but it's not written on the lyric sheet. From what I've seen posted, it goes something like: 月ニ照ラサレル蒼イ顔ガ 僕ノ脳裏ニ焼キ付ク 地面ニ這イツクバッタ貴方ハ最期ニコウ言ッタ 「貴方ノ手デ『切断』ヲ…」 舞夢 (Maimu)

Strange, indeed! Cool song too. Here's some 2 really strange PVs off the top of my head: ぐしゃ人間 (Gusya Ningen) - ババアの祈り There's some very disturbing nose/nostril play in this one. Nose bleeds/boogers included. 宇宙人 (uchu-jin) - 惡の華 Outlandish costumes, freakout dancing, traipsing in the fields and rotoscopy = winning formula

they def used some gazette tracklist generator for that album, stripping 3-word nonsense down to one word

Did they just hand in their edgy metalcore word checklist as the album tracklist? Boring, boring, boring.

DIGEST PV DVD

[CD track list] 01.Reverb 02.Let's go down the street (included in CD+Blu-ray & CD+DVD edition) 02.解凍実験(kaitoujikken)(2014 NEW RECORDING) (included in CD edition)

I've always loved this PV, and while it is pretty self-explanatory, it still comes off as a bit strange. Has a bit of a strong radical/feminist vibe to it, I'd say. (The name of the song basically translates to "girl's war" afterall..." Just my opinion though. I'm sure it doesn't come off as strange to many ;o; Also, strangely enough, I was going to link the Gusya Ningen video above, but it seems someone already beat me to it! o:

oh, I love Kiiiiiii actually! I know them for quite a while, they have this nice artsy and child-like approach - but I think I get it, so I don't consider it strange - I see it as a sub-genre (other artists in pico pop or minimal electronica also do similar things as far as I remember)... but then I found this here where I'm not too sure about the intent... it is compareable to Kiiiiiii at some point I guess...

Gravity (2013) Great sets, nice visuals, but why the ugly lightning in so many scenes? Many shots look more like a videogame or tv-series in the lightning aspect. Plotwise, how did Sandra Bullock's character get into space in the first place? Does the NASA hand over jobs to hysteric housewives now? No matter the sophisticated background they created for her, it doesn't fit her childlike dialogue, lack of knowledge and her annoying behaviour in general. For a film that depends so much on visuals and little on plot progression, one would expect that it must lean on its underlying themes... but they were rather dull too. This film isn't interesting or fun on any level. 3/10 Kagemusha (or Shadow Warrior) (1980) Not quite up there with several other films of Kurosawa. When a warlord dies, his highest ranking army generals decide it would be a good idea to pretend he's still alive by having a nearly identical man (looks-wise) take his place. Of course this leads to several difficulties. The world is believable, the sets and costumes are great, the plot progresses slowly but surely and takes a few interesting turns. There are many good things here, but it lacks the power to impress the viewer like Kurosawa did with, for example, Seven Samurai. Enjoyable, but not very memorable. 6/10 Babettes gæstebud (or Babette's Feast) (1987) Despite a few disturbing images of animals ready to be killed for the feast, this was a great film. (by the way, I do realize the turtle was a fake turtle, but it was still a sad sight). This is one of those films where religion plays a big part, but the viewer doesn't necessarily have to be religious him/herself to enjoy it. There's much more to it. This film is atmospheric, intelligent, immersive... simply quite wonderful. 8/10 La dolce vita (1960) It's hard to forgive director Fellini for having his actors dub their dialogue on a seperate audio recording, which results in unnatural lip movements. In some scenes it's more noticeable than in other scenes. Sometimes the timing is just a little off, which is not that big a deal. At other times however, it looks like somebody was saying something completely different on the film reel than what is actually heard! La dolce vita is so rich in fantastic scenes, that most viewers have apparently decided to forgive Fellini for his unusual ways. I tend to agree with them. La dolce vita is an unforgettable experience with images that will certainly stick with you for a few days, a few weeks... perhaps permanently. 9/10
