Every Little Thread about ELT

[truehappiness]

For Findlay. XDDD

[Findlay]

Thanks a lot Anthony! Now I hope I don't get any jealous looks from people. ^^;;

[Meat Pao]

Have anyone watched Sakurabito's performance on Music Station 22 Feb? I ABSOLUTELY ADORE KAORI'S VOCALS! But i don't like how they cut short the song, especially after Ikkun's guitar part LOL.

[Findlay]

I watched it on youtube, and Mocchi did sound very good in there! The stage setting could've been better though, and their talk segment was too short. =X

[truehappiness]

It looks like ELT has some future tie-up with "TEAM INTELLIGENCE" or something. XD

I wonder what song will be used..

[Meat Pao]

Finally a tie-up x_X

[Findlay]

Apparently ELT is doing a campaign song for TEAM intelligence. The music is already composed; now they are asking people to submit ideas so they can write the lyric for it. You can hear the song by clicking the CM that says "update. 080115" for its description. Hmm I like what I hear.

As for the new songs: "GATE #8" somewhat reminds me of "Get Into A Groove" and "KIMOCHI" in terms of arrangement, and I love Ikkun's guitar solo which has a similar feel to "(When) Will It Rain". I actually thought "OPHELIA_act2" would be a different song from "act1", but I'm not complaining as Mocchi's vocals are quite lovely in it from what I hear. My favorites so far are "gladiolus" and "masaka no Telepathy" (now this one sounds a little like "self reliance" melody-wise. XD) And I haven't said this before, but Makihara Noriyuki's voice doesn't seem to go well with Mocchi's in "fuyu ga hajimaru yo" - probably why I don't really like that song. =X

OMG!! thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!!!

Posting thoughts on the album track previews! ~

GATE#8: OMG. I LOVE this. It's like SWEET EMERGENCY in that it has the same energy but it has a different sort of... vibe to it. I really like it, and as someone stated at JPM, there's an awesome sort of strategy game sound to it. VERY excellent track, and it's just the first one!

masaka no Telepathy: I really like the beat. It's got a lot of strings and drums going on, which is good. I also really adore the melody... a lot like Crystal Kay's Konna ni chikaku de.. XD Which is amazing. :O

KIRAMEKI AWA/HOUR: More strings and drums... the other version seemed somewhat empty compared to this one. :O

PARIS no musume: It's okay. It has a very 60's or 70's vibe to it. Like it's idolpop from that era... dunno. I think that ELT's trying to go retro in a bunch of the songs that she makes nowadays as proven in later tracks too..

WONDER LAND: This song has an old ELT-feel to it. Actually it's very old in general.. uses the same instruments as "Take on Me" it seems as well. :O Very likable and is already stuck in my head. XD

B.L.V.D: I can't help but think of a song that I've heard by like the Eagles or something.. like I wanna sing "Hotteellll californiia" to this. XD It's so.... mellow-midtempo-rock... almost like a calm cousin of SWEET EMERGENCY.

NEROLI: This song reminds me of some sort of anime theme.. maybe I'm thinking yura yura or something. It has this sort of breakdown session that I vaguely recall. XD I like it. This album sounds like it has true promise since these previews aren't too good to begin with.

KARAKARA: Laidback and sort of Hawaiian sounding luau pop.... I think I might compare this song to a sort of more... Western and more upbeat version of good night or something. Maybe I need more ELT to compare this too. XD Definitely will listen to it when I feel like spacing out :p

gladiolus: Ooo, I really like her vocals in this. [LOL I have no words ;_;] Kinda strange that this track seems to lack as many strings as the first few tracks though... Maybe they're later on?

OPHELIA_act2: Relaxing ending to the entire album... I think that this album is very "easy listening" judging from all the tracks... very reminiscent of the old Pop that used to dominate the U.S. charts... very calm and easy to get addicted to. I'm sure my parents might like this

[Meat Pao]

I LOVE THE PREVIEWS! (can't wait for my copy to come D

[~Matt~]

Thanks for the previews but I think i'll wait for the full versions

Had some free time on my hands today so I went ahead and did a translation on SWIMMY's lyric. =)

SWIMMY

There are some mysterious things
There are some pretty things
The scent of summer
In the blue breeze, passes me as it blows

There are days when I dream and sing
There are days when I feel puzzled
Your scent
Has infiltrated through the sky and flown into my heart

Those feelings which built up deep inside me
That are from the long past
Now, is it okay to express them

“Things that cannot be fulfilled
Can neither be lost”
Is the small noise I remembered from that day
Swingly, as if to in order shine more
It swims in the passing days

I will go to see you soon

There were days that were woven together
There once was that gentle person
The scent of water
Taking a nap, you see through me

Crawling forward
The setting sun is getting closer
And let’s start approaching it tomorrow

Even if not saying anything
We can still understand each other
I want to touch you without hesitation
Glittering, as if it’s about to overflow
And it swims in the passing days

I will go to see you soon

“Things that cannot be fulfilled
Can neither be lost”
Is the small noise I remembered from that day
Swingly, as if to in order shine more
It swims in the passing days

I will go to see you soon

[RicardO!]

I cant wait for this new album!!! thank you for the previews!
