^ blaxx! You're back from the dead?! (j/k)

I'm liking the new song (hopefully there'll be a PV for it).
The intro seems Final Fantasy-ish to me.

INORAN on that Uta Suta!! show.
Turns out I was right, he was one of the judges.

Here's the only clip I found of the show so far.

And I would like to mention that there is a new LUNA SEA forum here.

^ Thank for the link. I was checking out YouTube looking for a video all Sunday night + early Monday morning. Haha.


Link to the forum isn't working. Could it be this one?

[HearMeGoRAWR]

^ Yeah that one! Haha.
Soompi seems to have a problem with me posting any links besides for youtube ones.

Haha. I read in a blog that Ino got a new nickname from that show, "Ranran-chan".

[NO NAME?]

^ That's strange.

Haha! I just read that too. Cute nickname.


Listened to 時化 (Shike) a few more times. I think it has that FAKE? sound which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[blaxx]

INORAN one of Japan’s best looking artists?

On CDShop's Tsutaya Online there was a poll with the title "Most attractive Male Singer.

INO ranked 5th in the poll!!! ha ha~
After DBSK Jaejoong, Hyde and Gackt!!!
LOL!
Someone should tell the guy!

Here's the complete list of the poll!

[NO NAME?]

^ Ah. Thanks for sharing interesting news.

How can anyone not think that he looks really good for his age.

I looked in all the places you aren’t.
I just can’t find the places you are.
I only know that you are where I am not.

생일축아해...

Happy Birthday Ranran-chan!

[blaxx]

U'll need lyrics to understand certain parts of the song...

時化

Music & Lyrics by INORAN
Vocal & Guitar:INORAN
Synthesizer & Programing:INORAN & H.Hayama
Drums:Takashi Numazawa

Follow me... You don't know if you will
Care for me... Every meaning will not fade away
Sky and rain, Should find better days

Someone to watch over me... Can it be?
How you gonna go all the way?
Lookin' all around
Something to latch onto me...Could it be?
Do you wanna feel in this sway?
Spinnin' round, goin'down

Blackest daze...I find you if you will
Deepest seas... Every searchin' will not stay away
In the desolate world, should look for better ways

Someone to watch over me... Can it be?
How you gonna go all the way?
Lookin' all around
Something to latch onto me...Could it be?
Do you wanna feel in this sway?
Spinnin' round, goin'down

[NO NAME?]

^ Wait. The whole song is sung in English? I didn't know that. I've been listening to the track for awhile and heard a few English phrases, but wow. I had no clue.... You're right. His accent is a bit thick. No wonder I kind of had a difficult time trying to figure out if it was in Japanese + English. Haha. But INO♥

Thanks blaxx!

INORAN and football player Hayuma Tanaka. I believe the others surrounding the two are INO's staff members?

INORAN and football player Hayuma Tanaka. I believe the others surrounding the two are INO's staff members?

on the left side of INORAN,there's D-Kiku (or sometimes credited by his full name in INORAN's solo works,Daisuke Kikuchi,he also sound programmer in Luna Sea ever since Luna Sea in 1997/1999 or maybe before that (not sure?),he also involved in Sugizo's solo works,so yes this guy been worked with Luna Sea since long time ago),the guy beside D-Kiku is Fire (support bassist),also involved in Sugizo's solos.And of course on the right side Tanaka,there's DJ Bass (like you already familiar with),and the other two guys beside DJ Bass,I am pretty sure they are support members on INORAN bands,like JING-JING said before.

[blaxx]

Hee... found another pic...

@asyura9: Welcome to the thread

Wow, detailed info. I don't know why I never really paid attention to the support members except for Kaoru Noguchi. I wonder what he's up to.

I think he's trying to say that the Japanese school system brainwashes (for a lack of a better word) kids. and he's trying to encourage them to become open-minded.
The only reason I thought of this because I remembered an interview with some of the guys in LUNA SEA and SUGIZO kept commenting on how disrupt the Japanese school system was on how they teach kids to think in a certain way starting from elementary school and that's why SUGIZO believes that's why Japan hasn't been able to move on as a society or something like that. He mentions these issues in one of his blog entries too, I think.

But that's just my input.
