hmmm, here's my interpretation. but don't expect me to be entirely correct.

 

"Screams

Vortex of cry

I want to sing a song

that can’t be expressed in words

Still,

I am a corpse

that longs for people"

 

@emmny that's really interesting about the word "shikabane"! i feel like japanese can be so deep and poetic with their usage of words.

 

Yeah, this sounds better! I wanted the corpse to go at the end, because he was definitely talking about himself. The way he usually ends his tweets with "Mako", this one he ended with "shikabane". But i just couldn't change the sentence in a proper way xD Thanks!

i haven't really looked through much of deadman's lyrics yet... >.< but i really love it when lyricists use wordplay! it gives the song so much meaning, though it can be a struggle for translators at times, haha.

my deadman (and mako) obsession began when i read the lyric translations...don't do it !!! you'll never escape

it really is difficult to translate japanese when you have to move the words around, haha.

This will always be my favorite band, so I am so glad to see a thread devoted to them. 

[Hohchicano96 153]

(Reviving this thread just for the sake of it.)

 

Ever considered what point you were in life when getting into this band? Had I gone deep during high school, I would be so damn pessimistic and be in a restrictive mindset. The point where I did was half a year after graduation when I was not as fearful of living.

[koroshiyaichi 12]

It was 15 years ago i was young and innocent! I discovered them with Subliminal effect Maxi-single! I fell in love with Radical garden! still one of my favourite song!

I still can't believe i saw them on stage in Paris

How much do I love deadman?

 

I got an all region DVD player just so I could watch endroll. 

[koroshiyaichi 12]

You have the full endroll or the regular edition?

[Saishu 1589]

I believe it's the regular one. The 21 track set list and then the disc with the PVs on it. 

[koroshiyaichi 12]

Yes it's the regular one! I hope someday I'll find the limited with the full set!

[emmny 4139]

i've said this a fajillion times but i got really into deadman during a ~~~dark~~~ period in my life and i felt that mako was my only friend cuz i loved and identified with him so much

2 years later and uh...he's still my bff

[saishuu 3220]

I got into deadman over a decade ago and just last year their music was pretty much all I played during a tough breakup and it still has not gotten old even a bit. So yeah. They are the definition of comfort music for me.

[The Moon 989]

If you haven't spent at least a season or two moping in your room to deadman, we cannot be friends.

i got into deadman a little late, just around the time i started getting back into vk 2 years ago. i was going through my destructive college years and i thought about the pv for this day. this rain. a lot because it expressed so well what i was going through.....it was also winter at the time. i was able to find comfort through their music in that way so they're really special to me.

[sakurakurakura 154]

I got into deadman when they released °C and I heard 体温 (taion) for the first time, that song gives me so much feels, I can relate.

[jaymee 405]

Ugh, I love Deadman and wish they'd never disbanded. I also regret never being able to see them live. I had really hoped more of VK would have gone in the direction they were taking it.  Perhaps not their best song, but my favorite:

 

 

[Takato 144]

I don't know what I would do without this band.
 

[For my dears 58]

deadman always have been one of my favorite bands. I miss them so much.

I've heard rumors about Mako becoming a christian. Does anybody know if this is true...?

[蝉時雨色 -semishigureiro- 34]

Follow the night light - One of my first VK-PVs and still one of my favorite ones.

[jiji94 78]

I tried to get my best friend to play deadman on her radio show a week ago when there was a hipster music festival going on in her town. lol

 

I actually can't remember how old I was when I got into this band or why I did. I know it was during either middle or high school and I don't know if I was going through a dark phase or not. But I've always really, really loved them and only started listening to them again recently. I was too young to know of deadman before they disbanded. I know that it was probably whenever I got super into 9GOATS BLACK OUT and Guniw Tools for some reason.

[hotcocoa 36]

Mako was invited by Kaya to the 15th anniversary live of Schwarz Stein today.

How I wish I was there Ｔ～T

I wonder how many years it will be until he comes to another live...
