I actually prefer Black List. To be honest, I'm not an ABC fan. I like his voice and some of the single, but his album tracks are a bit ... I suppose cheesy XD.

I'm looking forward to Recreation 2 though. His covers are awesome since I can enjoy his voice without his music XDXD. [/s]is shot[/s]

Honestly , I had no exposure to yasu-san's material & I don't even know how Janne Da Arc's material's like to begin with

What gave me the incentive/motivation to try ABC's material ? it's very simple - DAIGO 8D

DAIGO highly respects yasu-san & he even call yasu aniki/elder brother on his blog & it also helps that BREAKERZ's guitarist AKIHIDE is a supporting guitarist on ABC's material & Aki plays some of the guitar pieces on some of ABC's songs too

Other than Aishitenai , Aki appears in the backdrop of ABC's PVs . His face's not really that visible but I do know he's there x) cos of the unique way Aki plays his guitar in BREAKERZ's PVs & also a particular guitar he always love using

Anyway before I ramble more about my kids , covers & tracklist for Recreation 2

.... that's unexpected :laugh xD

I guess yasu was thinking of 'stuff' when he was deciding on what to do with the covers for Recreation 2 ehehehe 8D

1. Tenshi no Wing (天使のウィンク) (original: Matsuda Seiko)
2. Julia no Shoushin (ジュリアに傷心) (original: THE CHECKERS)
3. Aitai (会いたい) (original: Sawada Chikaco)
4. Sailor Fuku to Kikanjuu (セーラー服と機関銃) (original: Kisugi Takao)
5. Love Is Over (ラヴ・イズ・オーヴァー) (original: AuYeung Fei Fei)
6. Hershey (ハーシー) (original: Fish & Chips)
7. Kamome ga Tonda Hi (かもめが翔んだ日) (original: Watanabe Machiko)
8. Juliet Romance (シルエット・ロマンス) (original: Ohashi Junko)
9. GLAMOROUS SKY (original: NANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA)
10. Ai no Baka! (愛のバカ!) (original: Kyogoku)
11. Daitokai (大都会) (original: CRYSTALKING)
12. Last Dance wa Watashi ni (ラストダンスは私に) (original: Ben E. King)

I'm looking forward to hear yasu's cover on GLAMOROUS SKY & also the duet he's going to do with DAIGO aka Daitokai

The other songs on the tracklist , erm I haven't had any clue on how they sound like X_X & might as well LOL

& yes that's in a way or 2 which led me to try ABC's material 8D . Some songs I find are really scary/creepy like Jigsaw & the PV but some like Yasashii Uso & Nemuri Hime are <3

Aside from Glamorous Sky, I don't know any of the other songs. Heck I barely know any of the artists, aside from Seiko Matsuda and CHECKERS. Still looking forward to it!

Ok at least I don't feel like a nitwit now xD cos I think those songs that yasu choose to cover , they must have been really really old

like CRYSTALKING's Daitokai , it was released way before I was born ie. 1979 D:

but no matter like what you said , I'm going to look out for this :yes

preview snippets of Recreation 2 can be heard on yasu-san's official site

http://acidblackcherry.com/

lol the only ones I'm looking forward to hear are his takes on GLAMOROUS SKY & also the duet he's going to do with DAIGO ie. on Daitokai

2 more weeks before Recreation 2 is released :)

omg I totally forgot there is a thread for ABC :thud

Wow the covers are....I don't like it -_-"

They'll cover a Seiko Matsuda's song!! Really interesting.

:roflmao

I wonder what was going on in yasu's mind when they were deciding the covers for Recreation 2 :lmfao

for me I'm looking forward to hear yasu's take on Mika Nakashima's GLAMOROUS SKY & also the duet he's going to do with DAIGO too <3

It doesn't suprise me :laugh.

Usually their covers are really better than that. Q.E.D covers are their best I think.

LOL LOL LOL

honestly , Acid Black Cherry's at the end of the day , a 1 man show in which yasu's backed up by various musicians that you can see in his PVs

it's the same thing as T.M.Revolution where it's mainly Takanori Nishikawa fronting his solo project

anyway ...

in terms of best covers wise , er it's hard for me to say , I don't really have a fave one from yasu-san >_<

It's hard because their covers usually are great.
There is only one I hate. It's the 20+∞Century Boys ones. They're not creative & not suit to the band I think.

haha talking about the 20+∞Century Boys PV , it's so epic xD

yasu-san dressed up like a schoolgirl with his supporting band members which includes BREAKERZ's guitarist AKIHIDE = epic :laugh

yeah you'll be able to catch glances of AKIHIDE in ABC's PVs except for Ashitenai but obviously his face's not as prominent/obvious as what you can see in BREAKERZ's PVs

but AKIHIDE's there , the unique way he plays his guitar speaks for itself *__*

AKIHIDE plays for some of the guitar pieces in ABC's songs such as Ashitenai & Yasashii Uso

PV of ABC's Aitai

http://community.livejournal.com/ara...nt/897302.html

The original was done by Sawada Chikaco

I don't know how the original sounds like but Aitai sounds nice but I find it a bit creepy that yasu-san's voice's coming from the girl in the PV :dead2

Yoake uploaded yasu's latest PV that's called Aitai

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101911

it's a cover of Sawada Chikaco's 1990 hit & this's the only song from Recreation 2 which got a PV

I was told that the original was supposedly to be a big hit when it was released close to 20 years ago :O

The song's about about a woman whose boyfriend has died suddenly and she's accusing him like "you promised you would take me to the beach again , you promised we would watch lots of movies together , don't you remember , you made a promise didn't you" .

I think it's a nice song.
The pv is... I was what she's masturbating!!!! O.o

I found the original one:

LOL LOL LOL

yeah my face was like that when I saw that Aitai PV -> O_O O_O

it's quite gross but it doesn't stop me from liking yasu's cover of Aitai . I don't really keep that much ABC PVs in my mp3player cos honestly he's not really that much of an eye candy to look at sorry DAIGO for dissing your aniki in here T_T

anyway thanks for finding the original song which's done by Sawada Chikaco

I can't wait for GLAMOROUS SKY

yeah I can't wait to hear yasu's take on GLAMOROUS SKY & also the duet he's going to do with DAIGO too <3

I ripped Aitai from the PV in case anyone wants it :)
