Kaya - Glitter album, What do you think?

[faith]

I've never tried getting the lyrics to a song from just listening to it.
So I tried *and limited myself to 2 times*.
Some of it's obviously wrong (like "ancient name for a district in Tohoku" XD)...
But yeah. Until someone supplies scans this is the best I can do.
Those who know Japanese can laugh, and I can personally be interested in seeing the differences when the real version comes out.

Silvery Dark

強くの夜緩やかに満ちる減光と
繰り返す波の音が支配する悪戯の闇
あきらめるように話した凍えた指もしを
この両手が白く光るあの月のように穢れなく美しかったら
貴方にあたしが必要とされたの

特別という曖昧な言葉だけを縋るように信じた
白く染まる道徳と適わぬ悲しみに
願いおこる海に練らすの　

広がる浮遊の空足跡がさせさせ波に浚われてくまで
導かれるように辿り着いた
その果てであたしはあなたに出会った

降り止まない月明かりがとめどなく何も許すから
何もかもが流されてゆく
月はただ白く濡れた肌を照らした

それでもはあたしは出会わなければ良かったとは
けして思わないの

この両手が白く光るあの月のように穢れなく美しかったら
貴方にあたしが必要とされたの
降り止まない月明かりがとめどなく何も許すから
何もかもが流されて
月はただ白く淡く濡れた奥羽照らした

I read it has him saying if he were "pure" and had "white fingers like the moon", if the person he loved would accept him and need him. Aka....well, you know. Same as transient.

EDT: Sorry, now it's a bit more readable.

My copy arrived. 8DDD
It interupted my daily viewing of Scrubs, but I think in a case like this, it can be justified~

I'm only up to Walkure, but already I'm in love.

faith, if no-ones provided you with lyrics by this evening, I'll scan them for you. I just gotta wait for my dad to get home so I can bully him to get the scanner out of the attic. :/

EDIT:

Rose Jail = Mortal Combat

Omg! YES. XDDDD Winnar is u.

 

[yume]

It's a comment DVD from Like an Edison. So, probably just Kaya standing there and talking while someone with a camcorder films him. XD

 

[faith]

If you reserved the CD through different stores you received different bonus items. I don't remember the particulars, but this was probably the one for Lika.

@ Suspended Ideal: doumoz~~have you seen the picture of Supperite Systems in the GLB1 yet? If not I'll send it over with my gratitude and holiest of blessings tonight in return.

 

[Suspended Ideal]

I haven't~ Thank you so much. 8DD

Just finished scanning the lyrics, I'll PM them to you now~

And for everybody else, I scanned the pictures of Kaya, incase you're interested:

"lick my foot" made me raise my eyebrow.

 

[Moizer]

... lick my foot? O_o;;;


Anyways, I just wanted to comment on the last track of the album. I really like it, but when the chorus was going to hit I really thought it would get darker- not lighter. I really wish it would have been darker V_V

Oh well, it's called glitter after all! I'm very pleased with it. I'm now faithfully faithful to Mr (or does he prefer Ms?).Kaya

 

[BoOH]

He's so beautiful~ thank you so much for the pics *.*;

Awwwww, got my copy and my dog seems to like it at least <3

I think... how should I put it, um, I love it. Simple.
Kaya's voice is just amazing and the songs are all great, I especially like Hydrangea. I guess I'm still too stunned to actually say anything reasonable. o_O;; Um, lick my foot rocks

All together, made me very happy *-*

 

[kayako]

for my part it's impossible that kaya sings so acute on the last music of the album, because making the death voice time Schwarz stein, Kaya broke the voice thus it can more only make it also acute front.

 

[Sandman]

I've got my copy and given it a quick listen, though i want to lay down and really give it my full attention before saying anyhting, which I won't get to do till tonight.

My favourite track is probaly the Kaleidoscope remix, which is well boss, better than the original even.
I'm not sure if I like the album as a whole as much as I enjoyed the SS output, but then I always liked the harder techno vibe of that work, which I guess all came from Hora...

I wonder if Kaya is still finding his niche as a solo artist, the whole album just feels a little schitzo, like he wasn't quite sure where to go with it, maybe that's just me, I dunno.

I'm hesitant to say anything before I give it a good few listens and let it sink in a bit.

 

[LaBlubbAlex]

I love his album .. although it took me some time to get into it.. but now I really love it, although I cannot really bring myself to like the remix versions of kaleidoscope and masquerade..

 

[Amatsu]

XDDD

Someone was kind enough to send me the CD as a tester, though I've not decided if I'm going to buy it yet. There. Someone said it directly. I got it through unnatural and evil methods that don't support the artist...

Kalm made me laugh with Paradise Lost.

I think I may translate this CD, if anyone's interested in the lyrics.
Is anyone interested?

i wish someone would do that for me *hinthint* i really am looking forward to hearing this i'm if i like like which i think i will, i will buy it. i have the money on me right now.

 

[nintendods]

I like it. Its nothing spectacular but Kalm writes catchy music. Yaya Kaya. Make a PV of Rose Jail. XD

<gosh..I want my copy now^^ >

Awwwww, got my copy and my dog seems to like it at least <3

so cute *_*

it's great that people like this album <at least I won't regret buying this album>

 

[oasis19]

Kinda late, missed the mail man yesterday, so I had to wait until today to get my copy ^_^ yay!

OK... a lot to say....

This album as really given me plenty of mix emotions, by that, I mean pleasure, and disappointment.

For the New tracks, Kaya and Hora, of course, really outdid themselves. Glitter Arch, Rose Jail, Paradise Lost and Walkure and my favorite tracks. I cant stop listening to them! Great sound, and Kaya an amazing voice.... i will say... such an orgasmic sense XD

Also, I really enjoy the slow song. Silvery Dark and Hydrangea. Although, Im not sure who Kei Susuki is... Any info guys?

Kalm's style hasn't change much, but truly aligns with Kaya's. The lyrics are also beautiful and so overwhelming. Even with my still low understanding of the language, I was able to translate some of the lyrics in my head... something im proud of XD

But, unfortunately, the mixes were disappointing. For them to be call Mix they require some change. No complain for Kaleidoscope, its amazing! Masquerade, is interesting, you can tell Kaya sang it again... but Kalm mainly added 2 tunes and the sax and violin. Which, gave it a little more of a Jazz attribute. Still not the best... same as the original. While Psycho butterfly... as great as the original song is, the Mix isn't much different. Just with 2 new beats... terribly disappointing....

Also, the booklet did have much for pictures, practically only one new one.

Still, Kudos to the 2. Amazing first album, and in so short while, incredibly. Kaya, Kalm, Hora, and Kei susuki* , were incredible. True inspirations. :-* :-* :-*

Hora wrote Glitter Arch and Walkure though

 

[rizumu]

Walkure's my fave so far. Even if it's simple, the vocals/lyrics make it worth it. I've only heard four of the tracks off Myspace though.

 

[Arison]

Hora wrote Glitter Arch and Walkure though

That's probably why I keep hearing EUPHORIA whenever I play Glitter Arch. Seriously, the Christmas bell-y type jingles sound exactly the same. I also have the say that the "Glitter Mix" of Kaleidoscope is hugely disappointing. The original had that wonderful feel that makes me love Kalm's composing so much. And the Glitter Mix just... doesn't.

And I don't know if I've said it before, but the beginning of Psycho Butterfly reminds me of a Kana song.

All in all, the album has some really excellent stuff. I really missed hearing his voice. Silvery Dark is gorgeous, Rose Jail has that hardcore edgey feeling for thrashing about, Hydrangea and Paradise Lost are wonderful and quirky, and Walkure is pure Stein. I never was too fond of Masqurade and with the Kaleidoscope mix being a bit of a let down, they're the only two tracks that don't agree with me from the album. But it really is excellent. Reminds me why Kaya and Hora are the only Scape artists I pay attention to anymore.

I wonder why Remains of Mind wasn't put on the album, though? Unless he's already answered it and I just missed the news flash.

Yea, apologize for that, I edited my post. Still, I agree with Arison, Euphoria does sound a lot like Glitter Arch. Its incredible, it defenetly has Hora's touch. Also, does anyone have any info on hmm .... Kei Susuki, he did a great job in the album.
