Kaya - Ophelia single (22/7/09) Update!!

[Decadent_Irises]

Why CDJapan samples are so poor quality? Rose Kingdom sounds totally Velvet Eden because Kaya's voice sounds distorted.

I think he did that on purpose...? It sounds like it's meant to be there, not that it's poor quality.

But omfggggg, Ophelia instrumental *________* Why the hell doesn't Hora make this kind of music for his albums? It must be that only Kaya can complete Hora and vice versa. Together they are perfect...

They've done fine with other people....I think it's more like Kaya needs music and Hora needs a vocalist *lol*

The clips on CDJapan are infinitely better than the ones on Kaya's site >_<

Reallyhhh o.O??? Kaya site version sounds so much more finished. CDJapan sounds almost like some VE demotape, then again KALM = 50% VE

I can't get over with Ophelia instr.

I think maybe the beginning sounds all cool and VE-esque, but then somehow it changes into the part on his site. The CdJapan versions have seconds 1-45, but the ones on his site are just random clippings from wherever in the song he wants. Therefore, it's probably possible that two different segments of the same song sound different.
at least, that's my theory

 

[ansem]

Either way, it's sounding cool and i bet it will be a magnificent live song to perform

 

[rockman240]

"Produced by Kaya herself."

 

[Haku]

I can't stop giggling over that. X3

 

[Chalchihuitlicue]

GRAH!! My copy is sitting at the post office. =( I hope they let my roommate pick it up for me tomorrow, because I won't have time to get it until August because of my hours at work.

I can't believe it's here two days before the release date, though. Usually I get it the day of or a few days later. o_o

 

[Daedolon]

Mine is still at CDJapan. I got billed the day I ordered it (I used a credit card), but the order says I won't get billed until they ship it?

 

[Haku]

Question question; if a CD is to be sent by just 'Air Mail', how long does it usually take to arrive to it's destination? (East coast, Canada)

 

[Chalchihuitlicue]

After a huge hassle and wanting to burn down the post office for several hours, I bring scans of Ophelia for anyone who wants them:

Cover
Both Lyrics
Ophelia Lyrics
Rose Kingdom Lyrics
Insert?
Credits
CD
Tray
Back Cover
Obi

Would anyone mind translating what the insert is? I can't read Japanese so I'm confused by it. XD

I think the CD is pretty amazing, too. Ophelia is very pretty, and Rose Kingdom makes me want to dance. XD

I'm still just in shock that I have it this early. o_O

 

[faith]

I'll do it after my coffee cools down and Chowder's over

 

[Decadent_Irises]

EDIT: Thanks so much for the scans!~
I think my favorite is the tray image. it's so gorgeous~

I LOVE CHOWDER. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT.
I like the one with the katamari grubble bubble

 

[Chalchihuitlicue]

That's definitely my favorite too.

OH WAIT! are those those "random linear notes in two random versions"
thing?
where did you buy it from?

 

[Chalchihuitlicue]

Mine came from CDJapan?

 

[faith]

Speaking of Katamari and Kaya, did you ever collect the bagazillijillimillion roses?
I didn't. My rubber band popped off the controller after 250,000 and I said "BAHHH I dislike red roses" and did elsewhat

I'll finish the lyrics tomorrow too (are there bigger scans? So sorry)
He has nice handwriting.

イメージは「薔薇の女王と薔薇の騎士達」。
大好きな「不思議の国のアリス」に登場する
ハートの女王をモデルに致しました。

テーマは「倒錯的な背徳の恋」。
Kaya王道の恋物語で御座居ます。

強く、盲目的な恋心。
過剰な思いは執着へと成り下がり、独占欲は狂気を誘います。

王国か、牢獄か。
恋情か、殺意か。

ギリギリの、その瀬戸際で、恋に焦がれる、薔薇の王女。

これはわたくしなりの童話。
最後のページは、あなたの手で、お気に召すままに。

The image of this CD is [The Rose Queen and the Knights of the Rose].
It was modeled after the Queen of Hearts, who made her entrance in my beloved "Alice in Wonderland."

The theme is [perverted, immoral love].
It's a Kaya-renowned love story.

Strong, blind amour.
An excess of thought and emotion falls to obsession, the desire to possess ushers forth madness.

Is it a fairytale kingdom, or is it a prison?
Is it Love, or the desire to kill?

There is the Rose Queen, barely there, ardently in love at the very last moments.
This is my fairytale.

It is for you to write the last page as you please.

 

[Chalchihuitlicue]

Thanks for the translation, faith!

Fullsize scans are here on mediafire. 300 dpi, totals 31 mb.

 

[Midori]

My insert says something different...but I cant scan it cuz my computer doesnt think its connected to my printer (yet it has been for YEARS!!).

It starts out saying that the title comes from Hamlet's Ophelia. I could translate it, but I'm way too busy right now and heading out to Nagoya tomorrow morning. By the time I get it done, someone else will already have scanned it and probably Faith will have translated it. But if not, then I'll do it.

 

[Garnet]

Whoa, so fast delivery;p

I'd so like to click those links with scans, but I will wait for my copy.
Mine wasnt even shipped yet:/ They charged the amount from the card when I preordered it, now it's again without any debt, so they didnt yet charged it again when shipping....

It seems that there are differently inserts, like with photos from Chocolate. Wonder how many various insert there are
