Anyone here able to actually translate the new little blurb on Globe's website (www.avexnet.or.jp) about the upcoming 2-CD release, Maniac? I've tried machine translations and can still barely make sense of it. I'd like to know if my suspicions are correct. Thanks!

I'm bored right now, so I can translate that:
11th new album “Maniac”
Product number: AVCG-70066 ~ 7 CD 2-disc set
Price: ¥3,150 (tax incl.)
Album contents:
[Disc 1] Original album
Soldier - Nivea Kao “8x4 Kirei” CM song/NTT Docomo “FOMA P902i” pre-install song
Other, 10 track recordings planned
[Disc 2] Previous work “Globe 2 Pop/Rock” Recording music band ver. + music released by individual members & unpublished music
10 track recordings planned
I assume that Nivea Kao is probably the sponsor or something. NTT Docomo “FOMA P902i” is the name of a cell phone, so I think they're saying that "Soldier" is used for the pre-installed song on it.

Hmmm... Ok, so the first CD is an all-new album that includes Soldier, and the 2nd one is some solo work and some unreleased work? I think it'll be interesting to see how that 2nd CD turns out. I hope there will be more unreleased content than not on that on, though.
Oh, and thanks for the help!!!

Oooh. Tracklist is up for the album set. Nice to see the whole first disc is actually new music. But I already have almost half of the second disc from KCO,245, and Cyber x albums (That Cyber X track is really awesome btw). Oh well. And what's with the "to solid snake" track? Did Komuro write something for Metal Gear Solid?:

Wow, it looks like two discs of almost all new material! This definitely looks good enough to pick up. By the way, when did Marc change his nickname to 245? I just bought a brand new car, so I've really been cut down on funds. I haven't bought Globe 2 Pop/Rock yet, but I could just get it in the same order as Maniac.

He didn't; 245 is the name of the group that he formed with some guys named Chami and Daniel. It's his side project the same way Keiko had KCO. They came out with their album, Experience, slightly earlier than KCO, if I remember correctly. It's very trancey and VERY good. They have an avexnet website, so if you want a little preview, you can check it out there. 1000 Lights is actually a new song from them, which is kind of exciting, but they didn't include my favorite 245 song, Bricks, on the Maniac bonus disc. Oh well. I'm still getting maniac, no questions asked!  Also, if you notice: the stuff on the bonus disc that I recognize is all pretty trancey. And the preivew of Soldier on the website seems to have a lot of electronica in it. I'm hoping this all leads to Maniac being a trance-heavy album like Lights, Lights2, and Level 4. I need to listen to Level 4 again. It's been way too long. ;D |
