1.Under...
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Eastern European style; mad jangly guitars and ominous heart attack drumming. Very complex with lots of shifts in pace and tone. Just my kind of thing :D
Romaji and English Translation

2. 終幕の時
Shuumaku no toki.

(Time of ending)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Ooooo....I love this too. Alot. I can hear a little early Joy Division and New Order, but they never had Kiyoharu! He sings laments with such vigour. He has so much fight, which takes him way beyond Goth.

3. Dance 2 Garnet
words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
Actually the whole cd is awesome. You can see I've given up the star system. There's no songs that wouldn't get one anyway. It's ALL very good. Garnet was Kiyos band before Kuroyume, with Hitoki but not Shin.

4. 讃美歌
Sanbika

(Hymn)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
Slower, as you'd expect, but magnificent. GREAT vocals, even for Kiyo.

5. 十字架との戯れ
Jyuujika tono tawamure

(Play with the cross)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
Very good! Hitokis' style is quite different to Shins, which is nice. This is a faster, punkier track as Hitokis' usually are, and Kiyos vocals are freer.
"Loving suicide, so laugh'n die"

6. Misery
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
*sighs* delicate, sensational guitar, perfect for Kiyos' lush vocal melodies.
"Sad please, need misery..."
*weeps*

7. If
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
As much as I love Corkscrew, this really is the most perfect Kuroyume album ever made. New Order again, but even more Scarlatti. Shins guitar often sounds like a harpsichord.

8. Jesus
words: Kiyoharu, music: Hitoki
Shin manages to sound quite trancey too. This is bass driven and complex, full of interesting breakdowns.
Romaji and English Translation

9. 親愛なるDEATH MASK
Shinainaru Death Mask

(Death mask which becomes love)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Kiyoharu
Kiyo song is one of the best, maybe even my favourite (but I would say that...) It's true though. It has the extra pace and extra mad vocals which make it stand out.

10. 亡骸を
Nakigara O...

(About the corpse)
words: Kiyoharu, music: Shin
*sighs and weeps* I think I've run out of enthusiasms for now, but this one really deserves them. Kiyo layers up those vocal tracks brilliantly.
