Well this is sweet enough but I can't say I am riveted. Use of worldy sounds is a bit too self-conscious, production a little over done. I get the feeling someone is trying to package Kiyos sound for him. Don't get me wrong I do like the song (and the PV is awesome), but it just seems to be lacking a certain raw emotion that I've come to expect from Kiyo. Thanks to Monami for her translation..now I understand the words I like this song alot more...it's so bitter sweet...

Smoochy, saxophone ridden lounge music. Kiyos' singing is nice, and I'm sure if you understood the words it would be more entertaining. But to be honest it really bored the hell out of me. Not enough melody and far too cold sounding for a slow torchy style number.

Wheeee! At last a song I really like alot and it just happens to be the one Kiyo did the arrangements for himself. Loads of emotion and melody and a slightly faster pace. It really takes you somewhere with all the changes and bridging parts. Personally I would have made this the single, but I guess I am probably not typical of his target audience. As usual I find it harder to say why I like a song than why I don't. I just do! :)

I really like this one too. It is a cover of a song by Yosui Inoue. Kiyo plays the acoustic on this one and it is my favourite guitar work on the whole single. It mixes so sweetly with his his vocals. This song is very mellow and gentle, but still interesting. There is lots to listen to and a delightful ambience to enjoy.

EMILY
Translation by Monami
popisdeadx@hotmail.com

I’m absorbed in the fragrance I’ve touched
you were a very elegant sensation
the silver piercing is shaking in the conveying of expressions
the conscience of becoming a romantic is empty

I sang like the naked king
all of a sudden, the music sounds so depressing
even the sense of relief is falling down into insecurity
I took the scarf wrapped around the tattoo on my neck off

HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH now is over
HALLELUJAH you feel like a ballerina
ballerina

EMILY the fairytale was a last paradise [so fade] i feel like i’m going to forget
EMILY today, again, I watch you quietly from the other side of the sweet melodic candle
EMILY I remembered my favorite heroine’s fragrant veil in the color of ice
EMILY you were an eternity of reappearance and soon after, disappearance [so fame]
my EMILY

the spring breathed in with weak feeling is short
even if you’re here it’s like being alone

walked a dark exit looking for tomorrow,
a cowboy in fake fur boots.
it’s not sad and it’s not heavy
so smile so that i don’t awaken from this dream.

HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH now is over
HALLELUJAH you feel like a ballerina
ballerina

EMILY the fairytale was a last paradise [so fade] i feel like i’m going to forget
EMILY the herd of lions are tearing off your dress and quietly aiming for you
EMILY i remembered my favorite heroine’s fragrant veil in the color of ice
EMILY even the repeated reunions are magic
my EMILY

I’m absorbed in the fragrance I’ve touched
it’s a very lovely relief
stunned, turn off the lights of imagination
the love that was saved in this small world
