Can I request 一日の孤独 百年の孤独 (Ichinichi no Kodoku Hyakunen no Kodoku) and How Do You-Die? lyrics?

Judging from the title, the first one is a very sad song.

Thank you in advance.

 

Of course you can. : ) I'm writing an exam on tuesday but after that I'll propably have some free time.

Both of those songs have quite sad lyrics. D ; But beautiful, too, especially 百年の孤独.

My major is mathematics but I also do lots of programming stuff.

That direction isn't really what I was aiming for, I always thought my strength was art and languages. (And so did my teachers, family and friends)

However, I'm doing well. While most people don't even pass I have pretty good grades and the chance for me to get a nicely paid job later on is high. : /

So it seems I'll just stick with it and do the artsy fartsy stuff in my freetime...

His singing sounds so different.

Not sure what to think.... although I'm happy he returned to vocals.

They go on hiatus? Really? ,o,

Never heard of them before but the previews sound so nice...

This has to be the best topic on this forum!

Thanks for all the work. 

 

Thank you so much! orz

I'm glad to know people enjoy reading them~ :DD

 

O: Will you do "Parasite?"

 

I will! : D First is オペラ座ノ悲劇 to complete the blablageki trilogy, but Parasite will come right after that one.

Hello~

 

I just thought it wouldn't make sense to make an individual thread for this, so here is a similar question:

@Keiyuu and me have been wondering what band this is:

 

 

Can anyone help?

There are some individual member photos as well, I could take pictures of those, too, if that'd make it easier.

Please note that while the romaji (=sung version) always differs a little from the original in Hisuis lyrics, they do so especially in this one.

The lyrics are in past tense but a big part of them is sung in present tense or no tense at all, many words are simply omitted.

The two middle parts (in quotation marks) are not printed in the booklet, but taken from the 白昼夢の惨劇 live limited single's case. (One version had the lyrics, the other one the middle parts)

@hyura: i got the limited edition too and first i also didn't wanted to pull down the thread but then i did it and in the booklet there are just some extra pics from the band. > it's not that hard to wrap the thread almost the same up again...

 

;o; Woah, you are all so brave.

You're propably right and it's easy. XD But I just don't dare to.

 

I made scans, will send them to you at some point

 

That'd be fantastic. ;o;

Did anyone who also got the limited edition dare to open the booklet? : O I really want to know what's inside but it looks so good with the red thread wrapped around it that I just couldn't bring myself to do it. D ;

 

And since I'm new on this thread:

I think that AvelCain is one of the best bands currently active on the scene and they keep impressing me with each release. Their atmosphere is exactly the right kind of dark and romantic without being cheesy or depressive and especially the vocals are just fantastic.

The only thing that's missing for me is maybe a second guitarist because the guitarwork tends to be a bit repetitive, although it has it's charms, too. Their rawness remind me of chelsea, puppet mammy (duh) and generelly nagoya bands from around the time I started to get into vk, so the sound is very nostalgic.

Their live shows are great, too and on top of that they wear Alice Auaa and look so good in it. D ; I hope they last for some time.

Uber-cute hyura <3

 

 

;///; thank you.

@Keiyuu requested me to translate Lepra recently, so here it is.

It's the first song La'Mule ever made, first released in '96 and always held a special place in the bands' repertoire. It was also rereleased by the name of Desert Moon in 2000. That title actually fits the romantic colours of the song much better since the only topic vaguely related to lepra would be 'something that fell into pieces'.

This translation is based on the lyrics for the original demotape, but they weren't changed too much later on.

One month old pic, because I am sick at the moment and look like shit >_<

 

 

Tried to look as 80s Goff as possible. Possibly early 90s VK flair too. Not sure if I achieved what i wanted ot just look dumb.

 

 

Also agree, Hyura is kawaii as fuck <3

 

You look stunning actually. I love that style. ,o, Especially the eyeliner.

 

Also thank you. <3

01. What are you listening to right now?

NéiL - Day After Day
02. What song(s) make(s) you sad?

That song is actually pretty damn sad already! Generally it depends on my mood, but songs with a combination of honest emotions and sad lyrics I guess, not necessarily ballads. A song that made me cry a few times already is 無秩序のプール by La'Mule.

[b]03. What is the most annoying song in the world?[/b]

Nothing in particular, I get annoyed by most upbeat chart music.
[b]04. 3 all time favorite Japanese bands?[/b]

Madeth Gray'll, La'Mule, 黒夢
[b]05. 3 all time favorite non-Japanese bands?[/b]

I guess most bands I listen to often enough to make them 'all time favorites' are Japanese.

For some reason I really like Sparks and Sex Pistols. And the Beatles, because my parents sometimes listened to them when I was small and I came to love the Yellow Submarine movie.
[b]06. Your favorite recently discovered band is?[/b]

Lieselotte! Definitely the best new band I saw in ages.
[b]07. Favorite female voice(s)?[/b]

Lucifer Luscious Violenoue, Onitsuka Chihiro
[b]08. Favorite male voice(s)?[/b]

翡翠(Madeth Gray'll), ヒナ(AZALEA)
[b]09. Music type you find yourself listening to most?[/b]

The dark and maniac variations of indie VK from around '90 to about 04'.
[b]10. What do you listen to, to hype you up?[/b]

Madbeavers or pop-era Penicillin
[b]11. What do you listen to when you want to calm down?[/b]

Romantic old Nagoya kei, think Rouage
[b]12. Last gig/concert you went to?[/b]

UNDER FALL JUSTICE shuusai. I went to see La'veil MizeriA, though.
[b]13. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now?[/b]

Deshabillz, propably. I also have a thing for 'Eternal' bands lately.
[b]14. Most hated band?[/b]

I don't hate bands.
[b]15. Song that makes you think?[/b]

Hard to say, there are lots of songs that make me think. I translate Madeth lyrics to English for this forum lately, so naturally I thought a lot about them and how they are connected.
[b]16. Band that you think the world should love as much as you do?[/b]

Madbeavers don't seem to have much of an international fanbase...
[b]17. Favorite music video?[/b]

I love the style of old VISUAL TRAP videos, Dir en grey's Gauze dvd or La'Mules pvs before turning 'underground'.
[b]18. Can you play a musical instrument?[/b]

I could play bass pretty well but I guess I'd need some practice to get in shape again.
[b]19. Are you in a band?[/b]

No, but I was in two different vk cover bands when I still went to school. It was lots of fun!
[b]20. Do you wish you could play an instrument? If so, which one?[/b]

It'd be cool to play any instrument really well, especially solo-instruments like violin, piano or even guitar.
[b]21. Best all-girl band you know of?[/b]

I loved to go to Danger Gangs lives when they were still in their original formation and to me they will always be heros.
[b]22. Last song that you heard on the radio/CD…etc…?[/b]

雪月花 by BUG scream.
[b]23. What do you think of Classical music?[/b]

I love Classical music (and also Renaissance music), because I grew up with it. It was at all times playing in the background at my parents home. (and still is) It's the only type of music I can listen to while concentrating on math, so since I became a math student I listen to it a lot more.
[b]24. What do you think of Country music?[/b]

Not much, there never was an interest.
[b]25. What do you think of Death metal?[/b]

I love the raw-ness of some older Death metal but I can't listen to it for too long.
[b]26. What do you think of Visual Kei?[/b]

Some things about it annoy me to no end (especially all the customs of being a fan or being a bandmen) and there are lots of 'subgenres' that I don't understand at all. Lately that is almost every subgenre.

Still: the kind of music I love is pure Visual Kei and since that music takes a big part of my life I guess I love it.
[b]27. What do you think of Hip-hOP?[/b]

Not much, there never was an interest.
[b]28. If you were a musical instrument what would you be?[/b]

Not sure. Definitely not drums or any other kind of instrument that people beat. Maybe a Cello.
[b]29. What do your parents listen to?[/b]

I already mentioned it before: mainly classical music.
[b]30. Favorite movie/anime/video game sound track?[/b]

If the soundtrack is good I barely notice it. So I'd never really think about it much.

Well. I like to sing Disney songs.
[b]31. Do you know the names of all the band members that you listen to?[/b]

No, but suprisingly many.
[b]32. Have you met any famous musicians?[/b]

No, but I met quite a few musicians I admire.
[b]33. Do you follow the music charts, like the top 40?[/b]

No.
[b]34. Do you watch music TV?[/b]

No.
[b]35. Do you listen to the radio?[/b]

Sometimes, a classical music station.
[b]36. What are 3 of your favorite albums ever?[/b]

Madeth Gray'll - Lucifer, Aliene Ma'riage - Les Soirée, 黒夢 - 迷える百合達
[b]37. Name one album that you regret listening to[/b]

VIDOLL - Monad ruined my love for the band forever.
[b]38. Do you buy music digitally?[/b]

No.
[b]39. Favorite Visual Kei band?[/b]

Madeth Gray'll
[b]40. What is one band that you used to love, but now hate?[/b]

I don't hate any bands.
[b]41. Does Engrrrrrish bother you?[/b]

Not really. It's funny and somehow it's part of the whole thing.

Sometimes, however, if I read lyrics and they are really touching and some misplaced engrish happens it can ruin everything.
[b]42. What genre could you never listen to?[/b]

Any kind of repetitive electronic music.
[b]43. What language do you listen to the most in music?[/b]

Japanese.
[b]44. Do you like long songs?[/b]

There is a perfect length and it's different for each song. So not in particular.
[b]45. How often do you download music?[/b]

Maybe once every two weeks or even less often.
[b]46. Are there any specific bitrates that you prefer?[/b]

I prefer to have the original release.
[b]47. What do you think of autotune?[/b]

Nothing wrong with it if it's used well, but that seems to happen rarely.
[b]48. What do you think of Noise (music)?[/b]

It can sound really nice.
[b]49. Do you prefer listening to music on speakers or with headphones? [/b]

Speakers.
[b]50. What musician(s) are you most physically atracted to? [/b]

I think that 翡翠 is beautiful and his voice is enchanting, but physically attracted may not be the right words, since I never saw him in person.

Even if that should ever happen I'd propably still prefer to just stare at him and listen to that beautiful voice. ; D
[b]51. If you could bring back any disbanded band, which one would it be?[/b]

There are way too many and I think that with all the years having passed they may not work the way they did anyway.

I was, however, really sad that the La'Mule reunion only lasted for such a short time and the three times I saw them were by far the greatest lives I ever attended. So them.
[b]52. If you HAD to stereotype your music tastes, what would you be considered? (in example -a metal-head, hip-hop, goth, hipster, etc..)[/b]

A visu, propably.
[b]53. How much on average do you listen to music?[/b]

Not sure. Often the whole day, sometimes not at all.
[b]54. How big is your digital music collection?[/b]

No idea, but pretty small.
[b]55. How many physical CDs do you own?[/b]

about 800 I think.
[b]56. What song will you play at your Wedding?[/b]

I never thought of that. The first wedding related song that popped into my head is Occult Proposal by ヴィドール, but it's not very positive. XD
[b]57. What song will you play at your Funeral?[/b]

I will most likely play nothing at all at my funeral, but it'd be cool if someone was dramatic enough to play 空中都市 by Madeth.
[b]58. What dead musician would you bring back?[/b]

Deciding on a band was already hard but that's impossible. : o
[b]59. Best intro to a song?[/b]

人形~ヒロイン by ヴィドール
[b]60. Favorite album cover?[/b]

Lucifer by Madeth gray'll. Although already copied 3rd hand- they made it look perfect.
[b]61. Two artists or bands that you'd like to see collaborate?[/b]

I always thought that it would have been cool if Dir en grey and La'Mule had collaborated back in 99' instead of rivaling.

If it has to be current bands... well グリーヴァ and CELL, almost the same thing.
62. Do you wear band etc T-shirts?

Yes, I always buy them if there are any nice looking ones.
63. Song that describes your life?

RedCarpet - Hello sick (Propably not)
64. Are any of your friends/family etc. musicians?

My older brother is a pretty successful studio musician.
65. Quote one of your favorite lyrics?

There are so many, it's a bit hard. Also mostly the whole text would be needed to convey why I like them so much. many of 12012 old lyrics are really impressive, though. The part in 'shudder' where wataru sings 'your beautiful corpse lit by the stardusts chandelier...' always makes me shudder.

68. What was the first album you ever bought?

I don't remember.
69. What was the last album you bought?

AvelCains selftitled
70. What would life be like for you without music?

If it was suddenly gone I'd propably suffer, if I never knew what it was in the first place it may be bearable, but boring.
71. What do you think about mainstream music today?

Not much, I'm not really interested in it.
72. What do you think about KPOP?

Same as above.
73. Do you think the people around you have weird/bad taste?

Depends on the person. Most people listen to music I don't really know or care about so I can't judge.
74. Do people (in general) think you have a weird/bad taste in music?

I think people in general don't really care. Other fans of japanese music propably think that I have a small horizon when it comes to my choice of music, but I really don't need to find something completely different every day.
75. Is music very important to you?

Yes, definitely.
76. Do you wish you could sing? If so, what style?

Same as with instruments of course it'd be great to be able to sing, no matter the style. (I already sing a lot with my current impure voice anyway, because I don't give a fuck.)
77. What was your favorite genre a long time ago? Has it changed since?

The sad truth is it never changed. It broadened and the things I associate with it are different, but 'kotekote' bands were the ones I first discovered 10 years ago, it was the first music that really impressed me and it's still my main choice.
78. Is there a song you find very special to you?

There is more than one of course, but Sweet enemy by La'Mule for example is a very important one.
79. What artists/musicians inspire you?

翡翠.
80. What do you usually listen to music on (computer, phone, ipod, etc)?

Ipod and suprisingly often... real CDs, when I'm too lazy to rip them.
81. Do you listen to entire albums or specific songs?

Entire albums mostly.
82. One song that makes you happy?

壇場の棘 by CELL

83. What song do you never get tired of?

Most songs of my favorite bands.
84. A song you like that was made before you were born?

Anarchy in the UK : o
85. What song makes you want to fall in love?

Sweet enemy. orz Although I'm in love all the time.
86. What song would you make love to?

Romantic: 甘い香り by Deshabillz, not that romantic: anything by hurts.
87. What song makes you want to dance?

I can't dance but it's very hard not to start headbanging when listening to AvelCain.
88. What song reminds you of summertime?

ヴィドール - 月下美人形
89. What song reminds you of someone you would rather forget about?

I guess anyone important enough to have a song stuck to them shouldn't be forgotten.
90. Do you sing in the shower?

I do.
91. Do you ever make music mixes/mixtapes for other people?

I'd love to, but I don't think anybody would care.
92. How do you find new music?

I like to get recommencations from friends.

93. What artist/band do you enjoy that most people think sucks?

Generally Jariban.
94. Best active VK band?

CELL. (Although, propably, for nostalgia reasons.)
95. What do you think of Yoshiki?

His work for X and as a producer is very impressive, he seems like an extremely strong person.

I admit to having watched his performances solely to make fun of him, though. D :
96. Do you Cosplay?

I love making costumes but I don't have the time to anymore.
97. Do you prefer visual or non-Visual Bands?

Visual bands, but if there was the kind of music I like without the costumes I'd still love it regardless.
98. Do you read music-related fanfiction?

No, but some years ago when hanging out with a friend we read PSC fanfictions out aloud (taking turns for each role of course) and laughed a great deal. I remember doing the same with star wars fanfiction, too.
99. Who in J-rock do you think is actually a vampire?

When I saw SIN of Vasalla in the Ayame mourning event last month I was really impressed how he didn't change one bit despite being as old as time. He never looked very healthy either.
100. Last J-rock song you fell in love with?

I don't know, it always takes some time for me.
101. Favorite Japanese guitarist?

Sin (La'Mule), Kaoru (Dir en grey),  Hide (Vidoll), KIYOSHI
102. Favorite Japanese bassist?

Isuke(La'Mule), Yukina (Madeth Gray'll), Hitoki (Kuroyume), Rame (Vidoll), Shino (Vice Risk)... most of my favorite songwriters are bassists.
103. Favorite Japanese drummer?

Tero (Vidoll), Mikage, Reika (Madeth Gray'll), Shinya (Dir en grey)
104. Best Dressed Japanese band?

Aliene Ma'riage, Dir en grey in their vk era
105. What are you listening to now?

La Feerie - Realize

You look beautiful, digi! : o

Also a little bit like you're advertising deodorant. XD Dem perfect armpits~

 

We recently bought a fuji instax camera and between lots of random shots of cats, cars and action figures a novelty appeared:

Official Hyura cheki.

 

 

I look chubby, despite hitting underweight recently.

The photos I was talking about:

 

 

Some more 94' Kisaki from a different magazine:

 

I love this band, their songs and live performance really stands out from the majority of new bands. Hopefully they'll start releasing stuff soon.

I don't think this is a definitive proof. The pictures could be of any other band from that time where he played as a guest musician or something like that. Is he even recognizable on those pics? A scan would be nice, if it's not too much trouble!

Especially the fact that the second "LAYBIAL" photo is from a time where he already was in SHEY≠DE. Also, "The details are secret". Yeah sure, guess why...

 

 

 

Wow, I didn't know that! Well, things like this and also THIS:

 

 

are even more reasons not to believe what he writes about his history...

@ inartistic

Please, we all want to see that tape! D:

 

I can make a scan if you like! orz

He is in fact recognizable, but the first picture shows only him. I think the 'details are secret' is weird, too, but doubt he actually faked having been in that band at this point. That was only 5 years later! And the date is the same as in the new live-history, too. I'd rather think he'd invent some releases, not the entire band. : /

The other photo.. may actually SHEY≠DE, I think. The guys look very similar to the picture of SHEY≠DE on the same page. The layout of the magazine is a bit vague, so it's not clearly mislabeled or anything, but it makes it look like it belongs to the LAYBIAL section.

 

About the blog photo, though...

He clearly stated it was UCP guys! I just mentioned it since there was no photo proof of levia-related stuff or anything.

 

 

 

He didn't just upload photos from google to his blog, he, for example, took a photo of hospital food from google and wrote 'This is my food at the hospital' under it. Or he took a photo of a broken car window from google and wrote 'Someone broke into my car' under it. And there were around 20 cases found before he shut down his blog I believe.

I doubt many common musicians do that.

This is so sad, I feel for his family and friends. ;o; May he rest in peace.

Loved his work, the aggressive bass in Vice Risk is fantastic. Even though I hated Yayoi voice in the beginning it was so good I couldn't stop listening.

Wait, why does Gaz look like Michael Cera? : o

(Leave this place for two weeks and everything is different...)

Wow, I only saw this thread now. : o

So I'm a bit late to the party.

 

Kisaki bashing used so be a popular sport so as his fan I feel like a traitor to say this but:

Well. Kisaki was also the guy who took random pictures from google and uploaded them to his blog to look like he had a life.

So yeah it doesn't seem that unlikely for him to invent those releases or even bands afterwards to make his history more colorful.

 

The 'Beyond the kingdom' book has the same release- and live-history infos that were already posted and no pictures of either bands.

It doesn't say much about Laybial in the history part at all either, only that they were a 'positive punk' band and toured other cities as well. KISAKI left them very fast.

It has, however, some stuff about Levia: appearently they were extremely popular in wakayama, even referred to as 'super band', that's why they played so many oneman lives (pretty unusual for a young band like that!), they often appeared in the local press and played as OA for major bands. The sound was aggressive.

 

I also looked through my old mags and found some 'Kisaki photo gallery' in a minikomi from '99!

No photo/mention of levia, but two pictures of Laybial. One of them is commented with '1994.5.30 Umeda Guild, Even between the photos I have this one is pretty old. Because this band is currently with Matina there's propably lots of people who are like 'what?' now. The details are secret.' ... So the live history of that band seems to be legit I guess. ;D

The other photo is dated 1994.9.21... which is technically when he was already in his next band. : o So no idea.

 

As for those DTs not being online, IMO KISAKI is the only one who owns those tapes anymore because he's the only person on the planet who cared enough to save them. Any girl who was into 1993's LAYBIAL got married and threw that shit out before VK even reached the internet, you know? And KISAKI probably doesn't share them because they're embarrassing/he doesn't have the rights.

Also: I own a Levia tape and have seen others, so that definitely ends the theory.

 

I doubt those tapes would disappear just like that. : o 200 and 300 presses is not that few and Kisaki was a famous guy from early on, at least from La'Sadies he made it pretty big in the indies scene, so at least a couple would have made their way to second hand shops and the like. Just like with many other tapes from old nobody bands whose members got famous later on.

 

What does it say on that Levia tape? ;O; I'm curious.

 

edit: there is a blog entry here where kisaki says he visited Levias guitarist in Wakayama who is now married with the woman who was their staff at that time. : o But the photo is some UCP people. XD (at least not stolen from google!)

That was so much fun. ;o;

It's just sad they weren't in their traditional attire.

Heh. That blond person recklessly jumping into the frontline is me.

Thank you! orz

I'm happy you like them.

From April on I'm home again, then I'll continue to translate. : D
