    So I tried this out with not having too big expectations - I never have with solo projects ...still I've got disappointed. The only highlight for me was doll - the other songs were just generic or just plain awful. I kind of like the clean vocals in some of the songs though. The "shouts" on the other hand...are really old school-ish but in a bad way .. at first I wanted to do a track by track review but I decided not to do that because it would become too negative.

    4.5/10 though for the few creative tries on some songs. But in the end... he tried too hard...

    So awesome :3 it was also released a DVD with a lot of unreleased videos from 1992-1994 era. i'm really looking forward to it!

    just wanted to say sth like "wow, they played [...]" and then I realized that I would have to count every song they've played :D

    too bad I won't be able to get that DVD ._.

    still totally need it ._.

    I still remember the day when I got NIWLUN and listened to it. It was like approaching another world - loved the unique songs and still do!

    I also like their other releases, but NIWLUN is my favorite.

    For me it totally depends on the type of music whether the lyrics are important or not.

    Actually it's most important for me in ballads - I don't care so much about metal lyrics (except for Melodic Death Metal) - most Power Metal songs have got similar lyrics - all that fighting and power and swords and steel - srsly I don't care :D

    When it comes to ballads the lyrics have to reach me. I'm not pleased with some "hey, I love so, so I've written that song" - lyrics, those have to be covered up with metaphors. The best lyrics are those where you get the real meaning after thinking about it... or those which are using really cute metaphors xD

    When it comes to japanese songs I don't care that much about the lyrics - it may sound strange, but, for me, most of the songs are "instrumental songs" in the beginning - if I really like a song I'll try to understand the lyrics and - as my japanese is really bad - fail at it :D

    After that I look up translations for the songs. They don't really influence my point of view concerning the song, it just changes the way I understand the songs and how I sing them for myself.

    As I said, I see the voice as an instrument at first and even without knowing the translation I can tell whether it sounds good to me or not.

    As translations are mostly vague I really don't let them influence my opinion.
