Yeah, I second that. I think Ark was more enjoyable than FB but overall I'm not really expecting anything stellar from them. I guess if they committed/refocused their efforts towards SS instead of using it as a side-project it'd maybe interest me but Hora's songwriting is getting staaaale.

Hey so sorry the translation of the comment cd is taking so long. I swear to god Kaya was eating something during part of it.
He's like "I think there are some people from abroad listening to this this time so OM NOMNOM MARSHMALLOWS" or something.
It'll be done this week.

Hmm....he might have said something about them recording it whle having sushi...If I remember correctly. So yeah, that's why. Don't know if that's better or worse than the Cocoon message disc in which he just take a deep breath nd you can hear him pulling in some hanamizu ::gaku::

Ahhh XDDDD Gross (I say as I do the same thing. Cold or alergies or something)

Anyhow, this reminds me. You Japanese. I'll send you what I have and, if you have time, can you maybe weigh in on the missing parts before I resort to asking an actual Japanese? It's a pride thing.
Hanachan said he would, but then he just ate things instead.

Like I said, keep your Banpire board shorts on XD
You won't even be able to put your shorts on if you keep conveniently eating whenever I ask you to do something.
Oooooh snapple.

Ok I'm tired and moving on to other stuffs so here's the translation and those 3 lines that are missing can stay missing.
I'll do the lyrics and then put everything on my site some day. K = Kaya and H = Hora cause logical.
And I still think Kaya was eating something.


FB Comment CD wrote:
K: Thank you to everyone who bought Schwarz Stein's Fleeting Beauty. This is Kaya.
H: Thank you. This is also Kaya
K: No it's not! lol Do it right.
H: lol...
K: Come on, "this is Hora...."
H: This is Hora.

00:00:24

K: Ok, so, this time we're giving this comment CD to everyone who bought Fleeting Beauty by mail order.
H: Yuuup.
K: I think maybe there are also people overseas, not just in Japan...well, this is Fleeting Beauty. It's been a while, hasn't it?
H: It has been. For 2 years...2 years...
K: (????)なります
H: We haven't made anything in 2 years.
K: Sleeping Madness was 2 years ago?
H: Since Sleeping Madness...
K: But wasn't that 2014...
H: No no, 2 years, 2 years.
K: 2 whole years.
H: 2 whole years....eh...
K: 2 years..and some months.
H: Maybe around 2 years, I guess...

00:00:55

K: Since then we've been doing events but we've been asked if there aren't any new Schwarz songs.
H: eh ur mumble
K: For sure I've. We've. There are 2 of us. I've been saying "I wonder if Hora has any material?" for 2 years.
H: Kaya kept telling me "Don't make songs don't make songs"...
K: Haha No I didn't!

00:01:15

K: Well, the timing wasn't really right.
H: It was the timing. Yes. This.
K: We had a one man for the first time in a while...maybe "a while" isn't right...we have them once or twice a year.
H: Right.
K: Well we had a one man so we thought it was about time to remea-release a single.
H: That's right let's remease it.
K: Exactly lol...so we thought to release a single. Is there anything especially worth listening for?
H: Something to listen for huh...well this time...in terms of Fleeting beauty...it's..it's really...my..uh...I threw what I liked out there, or rather...
K: But it still has the Schwarz Stein signature sound, doesn't it?
H: I wonder. This time I decided to try doing what I like to the point where I was asking myself if it was alright, or if I'd gone too far with it.
K: That's what I said when you gave it to me.
H: Yeah, you did say that.
K: I was like, "This is super 90's - think it'll be ok?" you were like, "Yeah bye." "I REALLY LIKE IT."
H: Yeah it was kind of like that.
K: It is our signature sound - a combination of an 80's melody on a 90's trance sound. And I borrowed from that cute 80's style of singing
H: You do a wonderful job
K: Really ? You really think that ? lol
H: Really, every single time I think that.
K: Yeah I’m sure lol

00:02:50

K: As to my solo project, I have "yumeji" coming out in March.
H: It's a great song.
K: You haven't heard it! In Yumeji I become a new kind of Kaya via the singing style and the lyrics, and so this time I tried to work together and use a lot of the same words I've used dozens of times over the past 10-something-ish years in the lyrics for Schwarz too.
H: You do a wonderful job.
K: Sounds like lies.
H: Nonono

00:03:23

K: Ok so, the coupling song, hakobune, is very rare for Schwarz...the feeling (kanji)...
H: It's the first time, isn't it.
K: That's right!
H: Cause everything before...
K: Yes that's right!
H: The titles are in English. That's ingurishuden.
K: Name's German.
H: Maybe...
K: Yeah, yeah, we always decide on the titles together
H: Yes
K: We discuss and decide together. "Sleeping Madness" too - at first we thought of making it "Incubus" but that was a little too straightforward...
H: Yeah
K: This time at first we thought of making "Fleeting Beauty" "Ondine" but that seemed too straightforward too...
H: That's righhhtt...
K: so we changed it a bit. "Kobune" too...there were a lot of different ones...
H: Yeah we came up with lots of ideas but...
K: Like making it German or French....
H: Yeah...
K: Finally it was Japanese...
H: Or Chinese....
K: lol Maybe there wasn't any Chinese.

00:04:21

K: And for Hakobune, is there something to listen for in terms of the sound....?
H: Uh...what is it. It's pretty calm, and the background's pretty distorted...I wanted to show the contrast between the calm parts and those distorted parts. Like, "Fleeting Beauty" feels fairly up-tempo, so I thought it might be alright to have "Hakobune" be fairly mellow and calm on the other hand. The melody is gentle and pretty and...oh, kindness might be the theme huh.
K: Are you sure? Lol
H: No really really. This inner kindness of mine.
K: 先でもライブであるですよね。こう、なんですよね。優しさが( ???)
H: Like my kindness shines through and I can’t stop it...
K: So you’ve been playing a character a little bit.
H: I've always had it within me, this kindness. For sure. I want this feeling to reach everyone.
K: With that makeup lol

00:06:00

K: This time kindness is a theme with the lyrics too.
H: That's right, it does feel that way.
K: I sang gently. But singing gently of a very dark, otherworldly demise…personally, in Kayasolo I made the theme “warm darkness”. I thought I might tie them in together…
H: まさにその( ????)ですよね
K: So then really….
H: I do think so. I think so Every. Single. Day.

00:06:25

K: Well then, a final message for the people who received this via mail order.
H: Yes we can. (in English – it’s an Obama thang)
K: Don’t be belittling.
H: That’s not it - it’s a challenge, in this day and age. It’s really been 2 years so but and all that. I think we’ve come out with 2 really good songs so if you like them I’ll be happy. And if you hear them and feel something eh I guess that’s good enough.
K: If you just let it drop like that without finishing off nicely it’s like you wandered off.
H: ok, ok, yes, please enjoy it.
K: Thanks for that. It really is our first single in 2 years, so I think I’d be happiest if you take your time and really listen to it. I’ve said this before but there’s immutability and evolution, and I think we’ve come out with something that hasn’t changed. That’s a huge part of our sound.
H: That’s right!
K: It’s good to change and advance, but I also think there’s something good in the unchanging, so I wonder if we managed to paint that…. even staying the same, there’s still a part that has evolved, so I’d like if you listened keeping that in mind. And we do lives from time to time, so please stop by!
H: Yes please do.
K: Well I think there are people who’d like to but can’t…
H: True, true…
K: This was Schwarz Stein. Thank you very much.
H: Thank you very much.

You're welcome :) I'm glad to hear you appreciated it!
I was wondering if I shouldn't have bothered, tbh

No really, I do! I came here vaguely hoping someone might have done the lyrics, but I did not expect to find the comments translated, that's awesome :) It's a little frustrating that I never know what they're on about XD So thanks again!

I gather people are a little disappointed with FB? And I do second that it would be nice to hear something a bit ... less pop-py from them again, but I am still really enjoying it. The song is ... a lot of fun ::shifty::

I think the issue is that it isn't their signature sound (but it sounds like they knew that)...

Actually, though, I think I have more of a problem with Kaya's white fur coat, which I have just realized is a pimp coat.
I knew there was something bugging me about it and now I know what it is. Thank you 4ch via reddit.

Happy birthday to the Kahuna ::hora::
Hopefully the wahine is treating him like King Kamehameha for a day - maybe they invited the whole 'ohana down for a luau too. Macadamias, poi, and kona coffee for all!

the calmed surface of the water, stretched out
like a shining mirror
breaks into ripples before you

At your murmuring my heart
Loses its way
Loses its way
And I fall captive to your gaze

My senses are numbed
By the sound of your sweet voice

You steal my lips
So tightly, so violently it takes my breath away
I will be drowned in you, to declare eternal love
To throw away everything
And be born anew
Unable to descend again to the depths of the cold, rippling water

In cruelty the days and nights flow by
The flowers whither and die
Our vow becomes a lie
And I am once more alone

The silence eats into my heart
Maddens my heart
Loses it deep within the night

Who shall I find at the end of your gaze?
It's unbearable to think

I grasp your throat
So tightly, so violently it takes your breath away
In the depths of love and hate, to declare eternal love
To throw away everything
And be born anew
I enfold you and return to the depths of the water

I grasp your throat
So tightly, so violently it takes even memories away
In the depths of love and hate, to declare eternal love
To throw away everything
And be born anew
I enfold you to the depths of the water
Let us go home

PLAYING POKEMON GO??

Exactly right XD My parents got really into it, so whenever I visit them we always go out catching Pokémon ::batsu:: My mom is frighteningly good at it. We were at a mall once and a young child saw us playing, so he told us, "I have a Gyarados in this gym. You'll never beat it." and my mom looked like she was ready to lose it. So she decimated him in the gym instead and replaced him with a Magikarp. Just because she could.

I suppose I could listen to the single while I play, but I haven't even put it on my Zune yet XD
