heres the preview
of the song "spider" or "kumo"

ooo icicicic me goiing there

WOW!!!!! We need more info on this! Maybe the creator of that song is the writer of M.a. :shrug

did ayu credit them?

hmm.. .wowowow.. I'm thinking she only used the chorus... because the booklet says words by "ayumi hamasaki" and then says "Lover soundtrack"...

Ashley

okay, I get it! *shouldve looked at M.A.'s booklet. LOL*

Maybe Ayu really likes that band.

kumo also means cloud btw... that sounds like a more appropriate song title maybe...

dunno have any comment bout spider... but that is strange coz if the title is memorial address... that'd much better

hmm..interesting...so much we do not know ^^i need to move to japan n fast!

o_______o so that's what take 2 might mean?..........:weep

Interesting...

Actually, the kanji of 'kumo' used on the site is 'spider'. ^^

The composer, Yukumi Tetsuya is a member of an indies band named LOVER SOUND TRACK. Maybe Ayumi liked the melody and got his permission to use it. This band has become a little famous now in Japan because of Ayumi effect. This is their homepage.

"Kumo" has two meanings, "spider" and "cloud". But we know it's "spider" in this case, because it's written in Kanji.

wow this is really interesting... hmmm the orginial singer did a good job! ^^

hm..so she just used hte melody, not the words..ok..=]

oo wow thats pretty cool
than...ANGEL'S SONG must comes from that band
in the booklet it also wrote composed by Yukumi Tetsuya

Oooh, that's really cool!!! I want to hear more of this band!!!!!!!!!!!!

so its a remake?

ah ic very intersting facts

Interesting fact about the song 'Memorial address'
 

Ayu's 'Memorial address' is in fact a COVER SONG taken off the band called 'LOVER SOUND TRACK'. The band is seldom noticed, and the original song has more of a lively feel instead of the sentimental theme conveyed in Memorial address. The original song's title is '»jµï' (or 'Spider' in english) which is included in LOVER SOUND TRACK's single released this February.

I remember reading about this over a week ago, but wasn't sure what it actually meant. The band has an official site, which can be found here:

http://www.lover-sound-track.com/top.html

If you notice on the site, it has this little tidbit on it:

12ŒŽ17“ú‚É”_”„‚³‚ꂽ•l�è‚_‚ä‚Ý‚ÌNEWƒAƒ‹ƒoƒ€�kMemor ial address�l‚ÌBonus Track‚É
LOVER SOUND TRACK‚Ì�w’wå��x‚ªƒJƒo�[‚³‚ê�AŽû˜^‚³‚ê‚Ä‚¢‚Ü‚·�B

Auto-translation:

The "spider" of LOVER SOUND TRACK is covered and recorded on Bonus Track of Ayumi Hamasaki's NEW album [Memorial address] put on the market on December 17.

But.. does this mean that 'Memorial Address' is actually called "Spider' ? Or... does it mean that perhaps 'Memorial Address - take 1 version' is part of what we heard in the intro of the Take 2 version? I'm not sure about this... :think

how is it a cover when Ayumi wrote it?

ayu wrote the WORDS

Then it's HER song ... even it someone else sings it .. it's still HER song ... hense, it wouldn't be a cover. A cover is a song written by someone else, sang by someone else, etc.

It's like saying, a songwritter is doing a cover of the song they wrote themselves. Before someone else even does it.

well u could say it is a remake since the original song does exist...........ayu only rewrite the lyrics but the melody itself is not
i like the original more for some reason and the vocal sound like ayu too

yep its Her SONG... ^^ i still confuse about memorial address and spider... it seems the title are too far in difference^^

i wouldnt exactly call it a cover..it's just like duty, really, where they used the tune with different words..haha. the sample of this is in the other thread..:) check it out.

oh wow, it sounds exactly the same, I dunno about the lyrics

Sorry, it's my mistake to call it a cover song.
I meant that 'Memorial address' and 'Spider' share the same piece of music composed by tetsuya yukumi. And that's the only thing the two songs have in common. Apart from that, the songs got different arrangements, lyrics.

same as 'hikari' and 'Simple and Clean' :D

interesting o.o; I had no idea.. I was scared when I read this that the lyrics weren't hers..

but I'm glad that they are <3

Didn't Ayu do the same thing with Free & Easy? The first part is from the Joan of Arc movie...

What was Duty's original music from?

After reading some posts from their BBS, I found out that both memorial address and angel's song are composed by Tetsuya Yukumi from Love Sound Track....So i think they own those songs. Many record companies look for songs from different resources.

Thanks for clearing things up, everyone :)

oh.. ^_^ i got a bit scared also...

oh thanx for the clarification

If you click the cover image on this page, you can hear a small part of the song which sounds like Memorial Address, although like stated above, the 2 songs are composed by Tetsuya Yukumi.

so ayu/D.A.I. is slackin offO.o??

Hey jerms what was Duty´s original song from? I'm curious too because I never heard it was inspired in another song.

check the official website...look atthe track listing of duty

I think Impact's wondering what jerms meant when he said that Duty was inspired from another song...

interesting stuff indeed! ayu sampling music, cool.

o...nvm...but didnt someone say only the chanting part in DUTY was copied?

It had a sample from "Nos Autem Gloriari Kyrie" By Schola Antiqua ... thats the answer o.o doubt anyone's heard the original, though ...

I was surprised by the news, too, at first...

But doesn't it mean that with the release of "Memorial address"
(the song not the whole mini-album!)
she somehow helped promoting the band??! :think
So, I guess it's quite unlikely now
that she will release "Memorial address" as a single in January.

Humm... good to know

I didn't know about all this...it's kinda weird. Well at least the songs turned out fairly good.

Thanks for the info haku and masa.

Sugoi!

interesting :)

thanx

Ok, well, yup, Memorial Address Lyrics are by Ayu and the arrangement is different too. It just sounds great! Period.

i think it's jus 1 way of avex to promote new bands thats all...

interresting...i didnt know that 0_o... However musical arrangement are quite differents.

LOVER SOUND TRACK is an indies band, right? So they wouldn't be on avex trax. Is a full version of "kumo" going to be released soon? And perhaps the take2 ver is Ayumi's version of "kumo", though obviously she wrote the lyrics.

any1 knows where to d/l full version of KUMO?? It's sweet and i want it so badly!!
