UNDIVIDE - 400 Days Lyrics

the steps of my path, 400 days has past
ending in vandalize, an omen I now realize
distraction is that my body is evolving when what surrounds me degenerate
what hurts is people are changing while my will feels to stay the same

call my name

Time and time again
I can only live the way that I can see
I’m trying once again
so you can hear before you close the door

prime of my life
I don’t wanna lose what you still see in me
it’s time to start again
cuz I can’t live without this anymore

All songs written by Leda (compostition) & Kihiro (lyrics)
(A/N: Copied from lyrics book word for word exactly how it looks)

LM.C Interview Kera December Vol 148 (English)

Mr. Of This Month

This time we infiltrated the PV shooting for LM.C’s new single “LET ME’ CRAZY!!” which will be released October 17th☆ There we observed a precious offshoot not usually seen!

It’s the first single release for the commemoration of 5 years anniversary, we of course talk about this new single, ask about the future, and also the attention to their private fashion☆

Q: For this single did you decide on a concept or theme?
A: Well every time we don’t really decide on a concept we choose the song with the feeling like “next time what would be good to put out”.
M: We write the song and lyrics while always thinking it would be good if we could grow into something that is “a little more advance than the previous LM.C” most recent at the time. But I don’t usually think lets go to a whole other place, never.

Q: In regards to your songs, when I listen, there are a lot of lyrics that lift your spirits isn’t there? This time the lyrics also for “LET ME’ CRAZY!!” is like a view on the world that makes you want to move forward with courage.
M: Rather than me saying do your best to someone, the feeling of saying it while facing yourself is powerful. I don’t want to consciously think about making a supportive song, here is something about a “Ah--, what’s that I heard” kind of reaction that I like to look forward to. I have been thinking that the freedom of creation for each work have been able to increase. At present when I would compose for a lengthy time, I thought this would make the composition narrow but I was able to come to the point when I could say "I wanted it like this kinda of feeling".

Q: On October of next year you won’t approach a 5th year anniversary but it will probably be like 5 years right?
A: There wasn’t really early years, because debut = activities started, though I think 5 years is different for everyone, but, completing every year, I’m able to think that every year is a blessing, I think is a wonderful thing.
M: I think if I decide on destination or goal, those things become added stress and pressure, but for the first year of the 5th anniversary, you just simply can’t help but have fun. And I guess we were allowed to make the history that has piled up.

Q: This time we intruded on the scene of the PV, so please also tell us highlights of the PV.
A: There aren’t a lot of PV’s that are shot with the same organization as a live so it’s close to a usual live, I think it would be nice if it translated a “band type feeling”.
M: Or so, the single in the fifth year after we came back after one whole year.

Q: The coupling track「No Fun, No Future」 for some reason seems half finished doesn't it?
A: Well.. that isn’t us is it? (laughs)
M: MAD AIJI doing vocals and MAD MAYA playing bass are in charge of this band called 「THE MAD LM.C」. They also are filming a PV so, if you look over some ways over there you’ll be able to see them.

Q: Who’s idea was this?
A: Maya’s.
M: Well, you could say that it's a project to liven up the 5th anniversary, because of this period it might have been why I thought of it all of a sudden.

Q: This year, isn’t there all sorts of planning?
A: There are a lot of things I want to do. Things that people in the fan club can enjoy, and things that people who aren’t in the fan club can enjoy.
M: I think we'll announce something or other at SHIBUYA AX in November.

Q: Finally, I would like to ask you also about fashion, but do you have a private thing you are curious about?
M: For me its not to catch a cold heading towards winter
A: Huh? That? (Laugh)
M: Well, I'm interested in earlier Western style clothing books. I don't ever buy things like magazines myself, but aren't there a lot of them in places like beauty salon? I think “Everyone must read these kinda of books if you buy such clothes”, but I don’t buy them (laugh). Kera! Is oriented towards girls isn't it? Well, I'll venture towards it and will use it as a reference.
A: Recently, for clothes I wanted a leather jacket, and about three days ago I was searching for one on the web for a long time. But, after all If you don't try it on then you don't really know how it fits huh? (laugh)

Get in the way
The beat we leaned over made us turn around
Instead of being afraid of the people we found
The words we exchanged were wounded
So that I’ll never forget it I engraved the pain

「Fortunate enough to be without sorrow」
「To be without lonesomeness when your able to say your solitary」
「Rejoice at the happiness your hands can already reach」
「I justify this and that hand」

Get in the way
Emotion wrapped in a soul so brazen
As it is... Ahh some how or another I'll break it
Only my naked heart pushes on
If it's possible I would have wanted to remain honest

「Knowing the strength to admit weakness」
「Voices of sorrow in a crazed morning」
「But light shines in the world」
「Illuminate the polluted shoes」

Get in the way
The beat we leaned over made us turn around
Instead of being afraid of the people we found
The words we exchanged were wounded
So that I’ll never forget it I engraved the pain

Ahh, Why
Were we born?

Ahh, hey, like the longed for shoe gazer
Only I can't move in slow motion
The scenery began to run in non-stop motion
Don't leave those behind, take someone along, I will too, those are the "Conditions for a Hero"

そう包んだ感情　不埒な精神で
このまま　ああ•••なんとなくね　壊れていくんだ
駆り立てる　裸になる心だけは
出来れば　正直なままで居たかった

「狂った朝には悲しみの声」
「だけど世界には光が射す」
「汚れた靴を照らす」

[Get in the way]
屈んだ拍子　振り向かせた
誰かに見つかると怯えながら
交わした言葉は傷をつけた
痛みで忘れないようにと刻み付けた

ああ　どうして？
生まれてきたのさ

ああ　ねぇ　憧れたシューゲイザーのようだ
僕だけがスローモーションで動けないんだ
景色がノンストップモーションで走り出した
置いていかないで連れて行って僕にも「英雄の条件」を•••

New PV 「CLOUD9」by Uchuu Sentai NOIZ

Today the band Uchuu Sentai NOIZ released the PV from their new album entitled「METEORS」which releases on September 26th.

Earlier this week they released a collection of samples from all their songs on their upcoming album 「METEORS」, so I knew what to kind of expect when I first listened to this song but in some aspects they did surprise me and overall I thought it was a good mix of different vocal style and instrumentals.

Masato's vocals have always been a distinct quality in their music and I was happy again to hear a song where he get a chance to demonstrate his skillful rapping and in this PV partially his singing. Towards the end though he took his place back on the guitar but for most of it he was sharing the spotlight with Angel-Taka who's voice is still a great compliment to his own.

Knowing NOIZ I was expecting a set of heavy vocals with a uplifting chorus, and at the end of the song there was one but I thought this song showed more of Angel-Taka and Masato coming together to play off of each other.

Instrumental wise, they seemed to have carried on from their last album 「HIGH☆FIVE」 where heavy drums and bass lines from Yamato and Kyo were dominant. Along with rhythmic guitar from Masato and clean guitar from Kotaro intertwining to highlight Angel-Taka's vocals.

Overall I think they picked a versatile song from their album to make a PV for. Within the song they were able to highlight the things that make NOIZ, NOIZ, and at the same time show off their specific talents to show a wide arrange of sound and capability.

I look forward to purchasing this album when it's released and continuing to try my best to translate their songs into English. Please look forward to those song as well as the rest from 「HIGH☆FIVE」! If you like, leave a comment below and tell me what you think of this song and what you are most looking forward to about their upcoming album!
