[translation] Spitz - Kaede

[acchikocchi]

As I've mentioned before (...several times), Spitz aka スピッツ is more or less my favorite band in the entire world, and someday I will finish the pimp post I have been working on that explains in great detail why. *g* For now, here is a song of there's called "Kaede", or "Maple Tree". It was the very first Spitz song I heard, a wistful song that to

I look forward to the pimp post! Both the song and the lyrics are so pretty. :)

[acchikocchi]

I'm so glad you like them! I realized later that maybe a slow song like this wasn't the best way to introduce what is primarily a rock band, but the lyrics are a lot more straightforward and easy to interpret than some of their other songs. *g*

[winterspel]

Well, my favorite band is also a rock band but they have so many quiet songs and loud songs and slightly strange songs and long songs, that picking one is rarely going to be entirely representative unless I pick my twenty minute favorite (but that would just kill everyone), so I understand the dilemma.

The more important thing to me when someone pimps a song is that the song is one that they personally love, because then I try to understand that in context of what I know of the person or of what the choice tells me about you (which is separate from the objective aspect of listening/liking/not liking). If that makes sense.

Practically every time you mention Marillion, I think "I really have to check them out!" and it still hasn't happened. *shaaaaame*

And that does make sense. I love spreading music I like, but sometimes I'm hesitant to share songs that are too close to me, because I don't want to hear it if people don't like it. *g*

Pretty! This is such a beautiful song! I had never heard of this band before. Thank you so much!

[acchikocchi]

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it! :D because resistance is futile. I try and spread the love as much as I can.

Spitz! *claps* I enjoy Spitz muchly! :) My friend introduced them to me about three years back with "RECYCLE" and I haven't really looked back.

It's funny because I don't always listen to them purposefully, but when I leave my iTunes on random and suddenly I hear a pretty song come up, I know it's Spitz. ^_- Or B'z, but I have more Spitz on my iPod. *chuckle*

[acchikocchi]

Yes! More people who know Spitz! I heard "Kaede"... gosh, ages ago, I can't remember exactly when, but I didn't get hooked until canis_m started pimping them about four or five years back and it was true love. *_* It's funny, in the last year or so they've gotten a lot of exposure in Western circles because of the Honey and Clover anime, and while I'm thrilled they're more well known outside of Japan, I have this strange possessive feeling of "Hey! That's my band, that I found without some anime, thank you very much!" It's ridiculous! *g*

I keep meaning to try out more B'z! I only have two or three songs, all of which I like a lot, and they were/are so popular I should check them out for completeness' sake, if nothing else. But somehow I never get around to it...

[mananeh]

You've never spazzed about SPITZ to me!

I wasn't sure about the song on the first listen, but I've been playing it all day and it's SO PRETTY. It had grow on me half-way through the third play. I look forward to the pimp post!

[acchikocchi]

HAHAHAHA WATCH THAT CHANGE NOW.

I saw them live twice while I was in Japan, and I plan on managing it again this summer if it kills me. XD But yes. I am very glad you like. :D
