Chiaki Ishikawa

A while back Lantis posted a preview of Minorin's new album at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P66ykxm22n4

which includes 45 seconds of "この世界のモノでこの世界の者でない" co-written by Chiaki Ishikawa starting at the 4:25 mark.

I'd love to hear Chiaki-san singing this song also.

PS, listen for the violin on track 10.

Chiaki just tweeted about her third album!

I would quote her tweet, as I have done before, but the overzealous spam filter won't let me. Anyway, it's called "Kono sekai o dare nimo katasenai you ni" and will be released on April 25th. I think the album title translates to "As if no one can speak of this world". :ayashii:

Rather an unceremonious announcement, though...

Off-topic, this spam filter is starting to irritate me. Why on earth does a message with two quotes in it look like spam? I've done it before and had no problem.


I just read about it on my Facebook news feed.

...wow....that's a mouthful... :uh..: Is it just me, or are her album names getting longer and longer? :blood:

Technically, her fifth album.

Or if you want to get really anal about it, her fourth album (I think Magnolia was classified as a mini-album, when it's acknowleged at all).
 
Amazon.co.jp actually had Inner Garden in stock (rather than from a reseller who tend not to ship outside Japan), so I ordered it:

石川智晶。アルバム「この世界を誰にも語らせないように」発売が決定しました! 発売日は4月25日です。

The title is taken from her B-side single, "TW" lyrics in the 2nd chorus xD

Looking forward to this album because it contains a lot of my fav. songs!

There is a site dedicated to the album but there's nothing on it yet xD
 
^ I found and translated them, but I don't have access to my translation at the moment...
I'll try to post them when I can, if anyone's interested :sparkleguy:

I have the original lyrics and put in some furigana myself.

作詞 石川智晶
作曲 石川智晶
編曲 西田マサラ

この世界の単(たん)なる敗者(はいしゃ)で
いられないのなら
両耳(りょうみみ)ふさいで
闇雲に暴走(ぼうそう)すること
本線(ほんせん)から踏み外していくこと
それこそ健全(けんぜん)じゃないか
I'll try to keep in contact with you

紫の花が持っている
咳(せ)き込(こ)むような正義感(せいぎかん)を
毛嫌(けぎら)いする雑草(ざっそー)らは
そのまやかしを飲み込(こ)むように
我を忘れて生(お)い茂(しげ)る根(ね)も
土(つち)に這(は)いつくばって
片(かた)っ端(ぱし)から根(ね)こそぎむしるこの両手も
それを誰が喜ぶというの?

この世界の単(たん)なる敗者(はいしゃ)で
いられないのなら
両耳(りょうみみ)ふさいで
闇雲に暴走(ぼうそう)すること
本線(ほんせん)から踏み外していくこと
それこそ健全(けんぜん)じゃないか
I'll try to keep in contact with you
I'll try to keep in contact with you

なまぬるい雨がどこまでも
不快指数(ふかいしすう)を無情(むじょう)に上げ
窓(まど)の外(そと)に赤いクレーン
足場(あしば)取られた自分じゃないか?
そこからじゃないと抜け出せないもの
生まれてこない何か
濡(ぬ)れた床(ゆか)にはもう言葉が並(なら)べられる
独り静かに戦うことから

この世界を語(かた)らせないように
音を立てずなぜか触(さわ)らないように
光でも暗闇でもない
平然(へいぜん)とあり続ける形から
確実(かくじつ)にスライドしていく
駆(か)け抜けるのでもなく
決(け)して逃げるのでなく

一番の真実の種はたぶん掘り返されないように
地下(ちか)深(ふか)くに埋(う)められている
ドアを叩(たた)けよ 時に激(はげ)しく
交互(こうごう)に点滅(てんめつ)してはやがて消える
それは怒(いか)りなのか
それとも感情(かんじょう)さえも操(あやつ)れない このもどかしさなのか
体中(ちゅう)の微熱(びねつ)が冷(さ)めないのは
廃屋(はいおく)に置(お)かれたまま忘れ去られても
自分の痕跡(こんせき)を残(のこ)したいからだ
この世界の単なる敗者で
いられないのなら
両耳ふさいで
闇雲に暴走すること
踏み外していくこと・・・

If you guys are interested I made a cover song for "Fukanzen Nensho" and uploaded it on Vimeo. Feel free to listen, and give feedbacks! Thanks!

Thankyou! I enjoyed it... how demanding is it to sing in that lyrical style and how much vocal training have you done?

Thanks so much for listening!
The lyrics requires a lot of practice since it's a fast song (If you listened closely you would notice that I made some mistakes in the middle). I tried my best trying to get as close to how Chiaki does it, but my vocal is not as powerful as hers of course. I didn't have any formal training, I just like to sing. XD
 
You have a very nice voice. Hope to hear more covers from you in our Creative corner :ayashii:

Re:

Resorting to old hits?
 
Sore wa magire no naku, erabareshi mono no Solitutde

I don't think I've heard this one... :confu:

Hoping for more Cloudy/Squall/Shylpeed-like songs, though!

Oh, and here's my translation for TW:

If you can't be the simple loser in this world
Block both your ears
Running wildly, recklessly
Stumbling right from the startline
That's not healthy, so
I'll try to keep in contact with you

You're holding deep purple flowers
But the weeds that seem to choke you
Prejudiced against your sense of justice
Are roots that grow thick, forgetting us
Seemingly swallowing deception
Creeping and cowering through the earth
Does someone delight in both my hands
That know the responsibility of every single root?

If you can't be the simple loser
In this world
Block both your ears
Running wildly, recklessly
Stumbling right from the startline
That's not healthy, so
I'll try to keep in contact with you
I'll try to keep in contact with you

The lukewarm rain, anywhere
Heartlessly gives us unpleasant exponents
The red crane outside the window
Isn't me losing my footing, is it?
Stealing away from there
Was something not yet born
Our words can already line up on the soaked floor
Because we're fighting alone, quietly

Seemingly unable to talk of this world
Seemingly unable to touch the unmade notes, for some reason
In the light, but not in the darkness
From the figure that calmly continues to be
Reliably sliding along
I can't even run past you
And I can never escape

The most truthful seed probably can't be dug up anymore
It's buried deeply underground
When you knock on the door, violently
What switched on and off, alternating, will soon vanish
It's your anger
Or this irritation that can manipulate even feelings
Even if I forget and leave behind, in an old house
The way this slight fever of mine isn't cooling
Because I want to leave behind some trace of me
If you can't be the simple loser
In this world
Block both your ears
Running wildly, recklessly
Stumbling along...

It's quite confusing in some parts, I think... :imdead:
 
I picked up Chiaki Ishikawa's 2003 CD Inner Garden from the post office and listened to it...

It is very enjoyable without being intense anime-style music.

The lyrics are in fairly tiny writing, but I'd like to get them transcribed and translated if this hasn't already been done.
