Okay... I just got out of my bed and read my mail... and saw the new release... then I went directly to cdjpan.co.jp and I pre-ordered everything with limited edition written in the description before I woke up enough to realize how mad I was and how bad Tsuyoshi was to release two limited editions of his new album... And he is particularly bad, because I believe he is the only person on earth that can make me buy two copies of the same album. Never done that before, no matter how much I liked an artist...
To be honest, I'm a bit scared because I saw 'techno sound' written everywhere, and that's not really my cup of tea... but I just want to believe in Tsuyoshi... I had never really listened to funk music before he went into it, and I learnt to appreciate it, so... and apparently some of the 'funky sound' will still be there.
Besides, he is such a unique artist, I don't think you can put any well-defined label on him, and even if there're influences on his music, he'll stay original...
At least, the love theme is still there, as strong as ever, and that's reassuring... There are things that won't change with Tsuyoshi no matter which direction he takes...
The title of the single is a good idea too... I love the play on words, and somehow he is still showing everybody what a Kansai person he is... lol
Okay... I was supposed to go working in the five minutes I got up, so I'm already late on my planning. I'll go around blogs later on to see what everybody is saying about the new album...
I'm happy right now, but I know the wait is going to be really long. Especially that I won't be there around the date of the release and I probably won't be able to get my albums before the 14th of april... And I start to hear the little ringing in my brain telling me that, especially at that moment in time, I didn't have the money to do what I just did. Never mind I would have never forgiven myself to not have bought these two editions... I know it will be worth it.
Gosh... being ranting so early in the morning... it's mad...
It's strange because I took out my Rainbow ax CD last night and I listened to it from the record, when I usually have all on my computer. I realized once more how much it has grown on me when I wasn't sure about it at first. Tsuyoshi is a magician... and I watch the 空が泣くから PVs again. I like both versions but the no-edit one is somewhat special... so, I've changed my desktop background *points to sidebar* This song is hallucinatory...
Hum... I just thought that くりかえるはる title can also be understood - at least by me - as a promise to renew the demonstration of his hallucinogen power with this one...
Believe me Tsuyoshi, I've never doubted it... ご苦労様でした、剛さん。。。
I really have to go... but I think my head has just been shaken by the news... I've been waiting for so long... some more of Endli's music and Tsuyoshi's words... I won't be able to think about anything else but that... and the worse thing is that I've got an awful lot of revisions to do and exams to pass so very soon. And still, I've got a one-track mind right now, and this particular state is probably going to last for a while...
堂本剛,
