Foreground Eclipse – Dancing With Happiness and Sadness

Foreground Eclipse – Dancing With Happiness and Sadness

This song~

Teto really is a great drummer. It’s really apparent on the first two records that he has a knack for it. There are simple changes to beats that make them much more interesting than anything I had heard before… anyway. This song is in drop D.

I haven’t really said it anywhere before, but a lot of the time, I tab “vocal harmonies” where it’s really only “vocal doubles.” But doubling a vocal part in a tab just makes it louder, so harmonizing 3rds is the easiest way to emphasize a vocal part in them. Yeah.

I guess I actually have to finish the next tab now. I hope I can finish it before October. Well, I’ll try to have “In A Night” tabbed by then.

シュリンプ ft. めらみぽっぷ – 不思議なWonderland [LYRICS]

It’s a pop song! But it’s Shrimp! So it’s still kinda strange (considering “normal” pop sensibilities)!

The catchiest hooks! The simplest lyrics! Thank goodness!

NSY ft. ランコ – Plaza roboscape [LYRICS]

キタ〜ing over how good this album is. 2 months! They made this in 2 months! This song is particularly good. According to twitter, it was Ranko’s first time “rapping,” but NSY was able to coach during the recording session… this blistering solo, and then she starts rapping again and aaaa

Shuriken’s lyrics are as difficult and vague as ever. I’ve tried to leave as many pronouns out of the song as possible, so there’s still some room for the reader to interpret them in their own way.

ふっかん – 最後の言葉は [LYRICS]

Artist Commentary:
“遠隔操作もこれで最後だよ、という意味”とニコ動の辞書にあったのが元ネタ。
お互い、支えあっていた人と別々の道を歩むとき、
どんな言葉を送りますか?

という歌です。

ライブの最後にはもってこいwww
この曲を早苗の曲とするか、こいしの曲とするかは、サークルによってまちまちだと思いますが、
俺はあえて早苗ベースで行きました。

“It means ‘a remote control’ but also ‘this is the end,’ you know?” according to Nico lexicon.
For people who mutually supported each other in the past, at the time when they have to go their separate ways,
What would they say?

It’s that kind of song.

Live, the last part is really intense, haha!
Because this song is Sanae’s, but also Koishi’s, I think different circles have various ideas for arrangements.
As for me, I ventured using a “Sanae” theme.

Song: 最後の言葉は
———> The Last Words Are…

Foreground Eclipse – I’m the Seeker (Maybe Each Your Word Calls For It)

Foreground Eclipse – I’m the Seeker (Maybe Each Your Word Calls For It)

Another month, another tab I guess. I could get used to this. Used to think this was the only “bad” song on the album and then I realized, no, this album is perfect. This song is wicked sick.

Apparently, this is the first song on this blog in Drop C#… Suzuori used Drop D and C# on “Missing” and “Wishes” but I haven’t confirmed his use of Drop C# on “Tears.” Of course, Teto arranges everything in Drop C nowadays, so…

See you in September with “Dancing with Happiness and Sadness.”

Eve ft. 初音ミク – Morning Glory [LYRICS]

A relatively quick one, but even though the lyrics are simple, they’re pretty good IMO. I’m not really into br00tz metalcore anymore, a lot of it is what I would call “boring;” Eve is one of the few exceptions among Vocaloid metal producers I am still keeping track of.

… I never did get around to doing that last Break Your Bullshit translation, huh. Well, I’d have to copy lyrics from the book, and I hate that, so that’s probably why. I’ll get around to it.

Here are Eve’s notes from Nico:

「目が覚めて、いつものように朝が訪れる。ただそれだけで大きな価値があるんだよ。」
“When you open your eyes, it’ll be another everyday morning. But there’s great value even in that.”

音楽仲間の後輩がこの世を去って一年が経ちます。
その時に書いた曲です。
向こうでも楽しく歌ってるといいな

Among my musician friends, my junior left this world, and now some time has passed.
But I wrote this song at that time.
I hope other people will enjoy singing this.

Note that whether Eve means “this world” as in “life” or just “musical community…” it’s vague. Perhaps there’s another meaning I haven’t thought of?

Anyway, this song is on Eve’s first EP “Miku Scream,” so give that a spin. I enjoyed it when I listened to it months ago. I actually forgot this song was on there, and thought this was a new song… haha.

Song: Morning Glory
Artist: Eve ft. 初音ミク

Of course, since these are opinion posts, you might not end up agreeing with me, but hopefully someone reading this gains a little insight into where to go.
