November... well, almost November. Bran-new song in Japanese from our friends T3h Pl770vvs.
The Pillows - Blues Drive Monster.mp3
And here's some of my favorite Pillows songs:
The Pillows - Bran-new Lovesong.mp3
The Pillows - Paper Triangle.mp3
The Pillows - Thunder Whales Picnic.mp3
The Pillows - Hybrid Rainbow.mp3
Bump of Chicken - Hybrid Rainbow.mp3 <-- Pillowsの方より すごいだね
When I get the Blues Drive Monster PV, I'll upload it along with Hybrid Rainbow and Ride on Shooting Star.
And then... I normally post the lyrics huh. I would have the kanji version, but I can't seem to find it >_<
anyway, Thanks to my kanji-ful lyrics, we are singing this song. (i.e... I made+gave the lyrics for sensei). So if you don't like it, blame me.
Here's the translated lyrics.
it's as though i've got something on my glasses
no matter where i look
the unchanging landscape
disappoints me even today
what the heck kind of system is everyone using
to control their emotions
i felt as if i were going insane and started crying
but i'm sane, i'm sure
morning station
i couldn't board the packed train
this era of boys
lock themselves in rooms littered with keys
electric monsters
slip out from radios
the speakers only whisper out
what you shouted at the top of your lungs
i saw the era's chosen hero
vanquish before me
power station
i'll give you as many volts as you want
blues drive monster
can't you just smash up this melancholy world of ours?
i'm forever waiting (for you to do it)
adults wrinkle their brows
your laughing voice
and footsteps announced your arrival
drawing slowly nearer
those guys are have a pistol
to your overlarged throat
to think that sort of thing would have any effect on you
is so conceited
radio station
destroy the wall of illusions
blues drive monster
can't you just smash up this melancholy world of ours?
i'm forever waiting
oh yeah, how many times did you hoist dreams
upon your shoulders
and run
until the night turned into day
Again with Japanese language, the sentences are mostly backwards, so you can't really match it up line by line (most of the time 2 lines by 2 lines works though). I also took the liberty of changing or adding some words to make it work; you can't expect any song from The Pillows to make sense.
The only thing missing is the band description. But I've already worked on this entry for an hour >_< zomg
The Pillows have been around for a while and do rock/crappy egrish music. They did the soundtrack for the anime Fooly Cooly (FLCL). That's them at the top of the entry.
Early into discovering Japanese music, Jonathan Tran gave me all of their albums, so kudos to him for that.
the END.
