Reactions on Deep Calm

[Shito]

I suppose a lot of you will have the strength to wait for the album to arrive into their mailbox, but I didn"t!

I'll give a longer opinion later, but just to let you know: it's a pure bomb, this is an incredible album, extremely powerful, amazing...!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for the DVD too, I should receive the package on thursday!

[Richard]

I absolutely can't wait! I'm so excited that I have decided that i won't even go near my p2p programs to try and download it, before it arrives!!! I'm gonna wait this one out ;D Well, I might try 1 song if I really can't wait!

So Shito? In your opinion, what is the best song on the album? I know with Decadance, most people liked On The Speeeeedway ;D

[mishkuu]

EEEEP! Can't wait for the CD. Good to hear positive news on it

*Is spazzing*

[Shito]

For the moment I would say that RUNAWAY is my favourite one, it's really catchy, a marvelous pop/rock style.

But there are so much excellent tracks on this album, I can't say there is one I really don't like. I'm sur I'll discover more about some of them and enjoy them more after that.

This is the first move album I actually buy, I won't be disappointed any second!

[Joseph]

It's good. I'm already starting to get songs in my head, especially My Sweetest Nightmare and Twist ~Alice in Wonderland.

[Furik]

Wow, what a trip this album was.
VERY different from their other work but it's in the same style as their recent releases (Decadance, Blast My Desire).

I personally have to say I really didn't enjoy this album. I am not that fond of their new style. However, I still listened to this album a couple times to try and change my mind, so hopefully that happens.

I do have a couple favorite songs so far: Spiritual Tattooist, My Sweetest Nightmare, and TWIST ~ Alice In Wonderland.

[Richard]

WOW!

This album is AMAZING!! I can't believe how good it is! I knew Move wouldn't disappoint. I'll try and post a full review of the album later on this week.;D

I got my album at 4pm today ;D It's absolutly amazing. there were quite a few feedback issues during the concert on the dvd though, it distracted me. but still, it's move all is forgiven.

hello all by the way. I always watch this forum and I finally joined.

oh, and I got a button with my cd. did anyone eles get a promotion item with their cd. I also ordered a copy off of yahoo japan auctions that came with a small tin as a promotion item. I can't wait until that comes.

[Richard]

I didn't get any promotional items. Where did you order the one with the button from?

I ordered from cd japan. I always order from them they are great about sending extras and first presses. I pre ordered the second they listed the album on the site. I never get move posters though so it was nice to actually get a move promo item. I'll scan a picture of it in later, it's just a small button with the picture from the blast my desire poster on it. the tin has their name and the album cover picture on it but I won't get that from yahoo japan auctions for a couple of weeks.

[Mystical Sand]

WHEE!!! I adore-eth this album. I can't stop listening to it. I'll die. XD

So far, my top five on the cd:
1. Freezing Rain
2. Riot Generator
3. Runaway
4. Reality
5. tie between Spiritual Tattooist/My Sweetest Nightmare

Love this cd. Highly reccommend it to everyone who doesn't have it yet. You're missing out.

And as a side note, the Decadance Parade dvd rules too!!! So many extras! * . *

Liz, ever since I 'got' Deep Calm, I haven't been listening to much else! How did we get by without it???

It's interesting that everyone seems to like different songs so far. Here's my favourites:

1 Personal Letter
2 Deep Calm
3 My Sweetest Nightmare
4 Riot Generator
5 Monster Amplifier
6 Spiritual Tattooist


PL and DC are excellent in their instrumentation and mood, and the rock is toned down just right. Those are my ideals.

My Sweetest Nightmare is sort of like a gigue because it seems to switch between two motifs throughout the song.

Keep watching Crazy Move Castle... I intend to continue doing some more lyrics in romaji from Deep Calm in the next week.

[Mystical Sand]

I know what you mean, Joseph; this CD is really addictive!

Lyrics!!! Wai!!! Someday I'm going to be able to romanize lyrics, lol. I was so desperate to try to sing along with Freezing Rain that I started trying to teach myself the Japanese characters by ear. @ . @;;;

And the sad part is that I actually did so long enough to learn a few (I think; I have no way to prove it, lol). I would pick a character, and listen to the song wherever it showed up, and if it was the same sound twice or so in a row, I'd be like, "Okay, that symbol must mean 'de'!" and write it down. XD

I think I've figured out the symbols for:

te, no, ko, kimi, yume, kokoro, ai, ku, naka, ima, ni, de, soba, ta, da, shi, wa, su, zu (or tsu; couldn't tell), mo, ru, so, sen, mi, na, and boku. As well as being able to recognize "aishiteru" XD;;; No idea what the majority of those might mean, or even if I'm right. ^^;;;

I need to get a new hobby...

[Joseph]

Wow, you must really be a fan of Freezing Rain. I just put up the lyrics for it. It's a really good song, it should be around #4 or 5 on my list. It sounds almost like a marching song with those strings.

I saw your post at Electropica. I started a thread there too. I asked about how Personal Letter's second chorus is missing lyrics. That is, it says repeat the first chorus, but the two are not the same. So I asked some Japanese people to tell me what they thought the words were, and thanks to Nao-san it's now corrected on my site.

It hasn't even been a week, and I've already listened to PL about 75 times.
