Thanks to truehappiness for finding this entry!! ^^

A blog entry posted by Nobita, ayu's song arranger, about his ideas behind some of the songs in LS album~

from http://ameblo.jp/nobiblog/

This actually helps me appreciate some of the songs more. Thanks Misa. :) & truehappiness :)

oh wow.. now we realise what the light at the end of do it again PV represents. :) and i now can appreciate THANK U more. anything that cant be put into words can fill my heart. the tune of the chorus of THANK U is easy to remember haha..

I love that kind of details, thank you for translating !
do it again will sound even more sad now...

It's interesting.
thanks^^

Oh how interesting! Thx Angel! ^^ I understand the meaning with do it again and actually thats the same feeling that I get when I listen to it. :yes

thanks so much! as if I needed even more reasons to love these songs, but here they are! :D

Very nice!! I love Nobita-kun!

Thank you so much misa!!

I'm so happy you translate these things!
It sheds some light!

So do it again is like the answer song to SEVEN DAYS WAR!

thanks so much for the translation misa-chan!
makes me appreciate these songs even more now :yes

That's pretty cool information! Thanks for the translation!

thx ^^

Thanks for sharing!

like a more mature counterpart. i think its cool he contrasted the two.

whoa..do it again as an answer song! cool...it feels really sad to me now.
and I love what he mentioned about Thank U.
Brilliant. No matter how Ayu says it, her "thanks" for her fans cant be expressed through simply words itself.

oh wow!
do it again explanation!

thanks a lot Misa !!
do it again represents the light and dark sides of chasing a dream, interesting

I really like that we have a lot of commentary on this album from the people working on it.

This entry and also the long one by, I think CMJK, really helps my appreciation of the album, even if it's not listenable to me.

It really is a concept album for me, and I think she succeeded with her goals.

thank you for sharing the translation!!!

sooooo nice ^^ he arranged my fav songs from this album ^^

Thank you!!!!! That was very interesting!^^

interesting. Thank U is my favorite track too

oh wow this is so interesting :) and fun to read!
what does an arranger do exactly? because he's not the composer so he doesnt come up with the songs

OMG this is what i think of the first time i listen to Love song, ayu playing the guitar herself while singing the song!

He takes the composition and arranges the song.

The word arrange means he chooses what instruments will go where [guitar, drums, strings, etc.] and directs the musicians to create the sound he wants.

After he arranges it, everything's sent to the mixer to mix vocals with the background track. (Usually Koji Morimoto. It was David Reitzas for a handful of Love songs tracks though)

I think arranger is the equivalent to "producer", the term they use in the US. Almost like "beat-maker".

Woww thanks for sharing this =))

That takes major talent. Ayu has some of the best arrangers anyway though.

cool thanks for letting me know!

That's interesting, thanks for sharing.

Ahh.. cool, interesting!

very interesting..I like the fact that Ayu decided to turn sending mail into a rock track.I love this song,it has grown a lot in me these days.Its lyrics resonate very well with the instrumental.

Thank Ayu for making them put real drums in sending mail. If only the same thing happened to Like a doll.

Where is nobita mentioned in the booklet credits?
Who is he/she credited as?

^ Yuta Nakano. Really love some songs which were composed/arranged by him.

Thanks! I love reading about these things

What? Nobita is Yuta Nakano?
