yasu about the name "Acid Black Cherry":
(note: excerpts of the interview translations are taken from Kiku's Translations! Please have a look on this wonderful site for more ABC (and also Janne) translations.)
  • Why did you choose the name "Acid Black Cherry"?

    It has to do with the overlying theme of my solo project, that being "eroticism". I thought that with such a theme, I could personally bring out my own, natural self in the best way possible. Of course, I plan to expand on this with both visual and melodic aspects. So, I chose words that would bring forth this kind of erotic atmosphere to use as my proper name for this project. Eh...also since the acronym is "ABC", too. (Laughs.)
  • As a popular alias, you go by "ABC"...it's like you're interviewing as a new artist (Laughs). So, we want to hear how you came up with that name.

    Really, I was just messing around with words. (Laughs) At first, I thought, I should come up with a name that doesn't put me on the chopping block, so to speak, and that's when I thought that I should call myself something that falls into the erotic theme that I've been using. Somehow, the members of a band called "Black Cherry", with that sexual energy, would complete the vision, or something (Laughs)

    Haha, it just came out of nowhere, then (Laughs). So, "c" and "d" are a representation of "cherry", did you mean it that way?

    Yes. (Laughs) And then, there are words like "Acid" that we have, right? "Acid Black Cherry"... "ABC"...it sounds good in your head, doesn't it? Ah, yeah, that's good, I thought. (Laughs) The process was lighthearted like that. ABC, it's nice to keep it simple, right?
  • 生 crude, raw

    There's nothing else that comes to mind to a guy when he hears the word "crude" than it, right? (Laughs.) My ideal is vulgarity! I think any guy thinks the same way when it comes to a steady girlfriend. Recently, I haven't been in love, or been to C yet, either...(Laughs)
    Eh?! Young people don't say ABC anymore?! In our day, A was kissing, B was everything that came after that, and C was sex. Man, even though I put it in my lyrics. Even though I made sure that Acid Black Cherry abbreviates as "ABC". They really don't say that anymore...eh...I feel the generation gap now...

Kiku's Translations - Janne Da Arc Translation Site - I love this site! It hasn't just translations of Janne Da Arc songs, it also features translations of all Acid Black Cherry songs and a lot of interviews with yasu. Especially the interviews are fun to read. I highly recommend "yasu no Saikin Donna Kanji?", it's a serial interview column with yasu from CD Data.

After writing my last exam this semester I finally have my life back and here is the new thread.
Spoiler:

I summed all the info from the official website concerning the different versions of Lーエルー up. Did I got something wrong or forgot something?

The link to "Kiku's Translations" doesn't work anymore for quite a while now. y___y I'm so so soooo sad because that fansite was awesome. I hoped it would come back, but well... Does anyone know an equal awesome fansite?


Concerning Lーエルー:
I'm REALLY curious what this album will sound and look like. What I totally love about yasu's work is that he makes amazing concept albums. They're never just a bunch of songs thrown on a disc. Concept wise I love Q.E.D the most out of ABC's three studio albums. I mean, a murder story written by yasu building the basis for the songs which are character songs for the characters from the story and are the key to solve the murder case - how awesome is that???!!!
But Lーエルー seems to be as interesting concept wise as Q.E.D. I even have hopes it may be better. The concept story book thing is teasing me! xD

Packaging wise they also but a lot of effort into it, can't wait to get my hands on my (three lol) copies!

I think the album's name and therefore name of the girl is an interesting choice. Not only L as a letter doesn't exist in Japanese language so that the girl's name really stands out, its pronounciation sounds like the French pronoun "elle" (her), furthermore Elle is an actual name. That the title is written Lーエルー shows that yasu was aiming for that, because the katakana read "eru" or if you want to take L into account "elu". Looks/sounds a lot like Elle, doesn't it? =)

Oh, I just realised that now we have
黒猫 (Kuroneko)
Black Cat
Chat Noir

(=^●⋏●^=) nya~~~!

Maybe ~Le Chat Noir~ being a French title is a hint that it's really LーElleー, and Elle standing for "her" and the name?

BREAKERZ's guitarist SHINPEI tweeted his late birthday well wishes to yasu

Quote:
1月27日はyasuさん、1月29日はHYDEさんのお誕生日でした。
お二方共、BREAKERZで活動するにあたって本当にお世話になっている大先輩です。
いつもBREAKERZにエネルギーを与えて下さって、ありがとうございます!
改めまして、おめでとうございます。
https://twitter.com/shinpei_brz/stat...09403073478657

And on a sidenote , right now L will most probably get #2 since now ONE OK ROCK will not release their new album on 25th Feb any longer

Ah well right, HYDE's birthday was just two days later.

ONE OK ROCK will release their album now on the 11th, right? I'm still wishing for a miracle that yasu will get #1. Honestly, if ONE OK ROCK would get #1 instead of yasu I would be happy for them, but I don't think NEWS deserve the #1. NEWS fans will hate me, but it's not like NEWS would make amazong music or so. They're just an average boyband with average j-pop music and average talent but their agency made them what they are. I'm pissed right now... lol

LOL as a Johnny's fan for the longest time like ever , sorry I beg to differ . NEWS to me is 1 of the better boybands in Johnny's & Associates . At least everyone in the group can sing

And most importantly , they don't lip synch in concerts & live performances unlike ARASHI every single time

You don't want to get NEWS if not Johnny's fans angry as they can get very threatening if not possessive if you get on their nerves . I learnt that from experience & it ain't pretty

Haha well, I like NEWS better than Arashi. Arashi is pretty boring to me. And I get why people like them. A good friend is a big fan of theirs.
But at the end of the day they are just a boyband and nothing more, I hope you know what I mean?
I wouldn't have anything against them getting the #1 if it would be a fair game. But NEWS sales aren't as good as yasu's the last 2 years, but they will get #1 just because Johnny's will pull an evil trick again. That's what makes me angry...

And yes... fans of boybands are mostly damn fucking crazy. x.x

I support/listen to almost everyone in Johnny's & Associates and yeah times like these I'm also frustrated as well

I've seen many countless times where shrewd brutal marketing from Johnny-san that just knocks the competition without any questions asked

Most if not all the time I have a love/hate relationship with Johnny's . Sometimes some of the stuff released ain't #1 worthy to me but just because they're Johnny's , they will still have an unfair advantage over almost everyone ... except for AKB48 :x

And for the record , I do feel that ARASHI deserved the success they've received as just like Namie not everyone's lucky to have a 2nd chance in surged if not higher popularity than they used to have . Only thing's that it wouldn't hurt for them to sing live for a change

I guess one can be a fan of Johnny's bands without to approve what Johnny himself does. But I can see were your love/hate relationship comes from. I would feel the same.^^
