What was the first song you ever heard by 6? Emily, and though I've went through almost the entire Kiyo disco, it's still the most amazing piece by him~
What is your favourite album of 2? Shizuku because it has Utakata in it ♥
What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung? Is there someone out there who srsly listens to JE for MUSIC?? abs.. *lol* weeeek and code have great lyrics in general, and Sayaendo's peas remain me constantly why there're days I tend to think JE should be taught obligatory in schools xD
How many times have you seen 4 live? ONCE!! ♥ MUCC has confirmed its arrival to Swedish Rock, so I live in the hope of seeing them again this summer~
What is your favourite song by 7? Toguro
Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? Yasashii Kaze, sometimes kuukuu ~karasora~ too... and these days, as the band does not exist anymore, I'd have to say yell as well
What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung? I have to admit I'm not very familiar with the translations of the older songs... but Kasunda Fuyu no Mukoi ni has a very beautiful structure and modestly intense text -citing a line or two wouldn't do justice to Teh Perfect
What is your favourite song by 9?Fly or Believe it or not, very different from each other xD
How did you get into 3? Oh my, this is again these bands... ^^;; There was a rotation post of this band in one journal around a year, year and a half, ago. At that time I remember a few of my flisters had often placed bis in the music-section of their LJ entry so when I saw the rotation post, I thought I should check it out. I skimmed it through and found some screencaps of the pv for SEASON'S. I fell in love with the ligh green color scheme and Maru's clothing and downloaded the pv right away. The song just swept me off my feet immediatelly, and I've been a fan ever since :)
What was the first song you heard by 1? Yami ni Chiru Sakura. However, I didn't know much of the band or jrock back at the days, so I was quite reluctant to listen to it.. and when I finally did, I didn't like it at all. But, I didn't delete it either; for some reason I felt it was important to save it. I had it stored in my computer like three or four months before I returned to it after discovering alice nine.'s diverse style... and on the second listening, I absolutely, wholeheartedly loved it, and it's still amongst my top 5 songs by arisu.
What is your favourite song by 4? Kanashimi no Hate, Libra, Kokoro no Naimachi, Ryuusei, Kugatsu Mikan no Kaiga, Tsubasa, Ware Arubeki Basho... I can't name a song I WOULDN'T like, the band's music is equally great.
How many times have you seen 9 live? Never D':
What is a good memory you have concerning 2? Kagrra, was one of the first bands I started to listen to... it with the mesmerizing combination of old and new made me the jrock fan I am these days :) Their pvs have affected me the strongest -Utakata, Irodori no Sanka, Satsuki, Shi Mi Me Yuki Sa A...
Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad? To Where You Are
What is your favourite album of 5? pacific
What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung? From Color of Mind:
"Even if you lose the light on the path you're walkin now
Risk your life but believe in that one thing
For you know you already have it in your hand
Keep the words in your heart so as not to forget"
Ame no Asphalt:
"[Real] is irony, so I cry for the sky
Fuck up! My sadness
no more tears, again"
Finding bis translations isn't easy, and my Japanese is very poor, that's why I chose a few bits in English (and 'coz Maru's growling in Ame no Asphalt sounds jghashagdgjhs;)... but, I know DAYS' lyrics and their strong words and passionate spoken truths always give me a nice warm feeling:
"--This is probably all different from what everybody imagined,
days of suffering in the boredom but...
I am sure you can find it
the feelings that moved your mind
if you walk one step at the time...so...you can see it--
--Good bye, now I can finally put these words in my mind and say
The gentle spring winds flows just as they did on that day"
What is your favourite song of 1? A loooong list ahead: Yami ni Chiru Sakura, Q., White Prayer, 9th Revolver, Time Machine, Yuri Ha Aoku Saite, kowloon -NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW, Shunkashuutou, Armor Ring...
What is your favourite song of 10? Maple Gunman!!!!!! : D
How many times have you seen 8 live? Not once :(
What is your favourite album of 1? Surprisingly, I'm gonna say Zekkeishoku. I like the raw-ish sound in it. Alpha's magnificent, definitely one of my all-time favourite jrock albums, but it sounds rather polished and shiny compared to its predecessor. Their first release, Gion Shouja no Kane ga Naru is still, for me, made of absolute win, too. In fact, if some of the most recent (maxi)singles aren't counted, all of their releases have been top class~ Like it would count what I say since I'm BIASED.
What is a great memory you have concerning 9? Well, there are no specific ones I think. Oh, well, there's one, sort of. Fly's lyrics bring Meat Puppets to my mind due to their song Lake of Fire, which is widely known because of Nirvana's legendary cover in Unplugged NY ♥
Oh, talking about bis, here's a few mysteries I haven't been able to solve on my own:
1)who's the other rocker making a cameo in bis' pv Start? (The first non-bis guy, I mean, even I can tell who Kisaki is *lol*)
2)Color of Mind. Is there a full PV version released anywhere in the Internet? Ordering Tricky Wagon, I was a little upset that Color of Mind wasn't included. The 3 minutes 28secs clip is driving me nuts.
