Originally the demo was mine, but after seeing “Wild 7” rushes, hyde changed not only the tune, but also the progress of chords and the introduction;  once my original tune even disappeared. But eventually it was revived and it became a

Awwwww... Thank you!
I like reading their opinion about the songs.
My fav is always HYDE's POV and another one is Ken's comment about the lyrics of Wild Flower.
BEAUTIFUL INDEED just like the lyricist.hehehe..

[mei_24]

Me too, their insight is really necessary to understand songs better.
It's wonderful how much they trust each other about arrangement or lyrics.

>BEAUTIFUL INDEED just like the lyricist
My thought exactly XD

Is it okay to repost that one on our tumblr?

Aaaand - just a question: You're not planing to do a (partly) translation of The Hyde, do you? I'd love you forever for that or just a summary :)

[mei_24]

Of course it is, dear ^-^
Feel free to repost whatever you want!
Just keep in mind that my translation is not perfect ><

I think that other fans, with amazing skills, will translate "THE HYDE" even before I'll get my own copy XD
Of course, if a part is left out, I'll translate it, but I feel this time you will not need my (bad) work ^^

Btw I'm really looking forward to reading that book...

Thank you for the translation ~! But I was wondering if I'm the only one seriously pissed off at their laziness? I mean what the hell were they doing in that studio in 2011 if they could apparently only write 4 new songs ?! My disappointment in them is immeasurable.

[mei_24]

I can understand your desire for more songs as a fan, but I think that they worked hard in 2011. They made 6 new songs, and released 3 of them as singles. I remember hyde once said that making a song takes very long time, like a month (I believe he was speaking about solo work, but it's a faint memory, I can be wrong ><). Besides, you have to take into consideration that they did several lives (which implies rehearsal), did promotion, wrote books, planned world tour...
This is their way to celebrate their 20th anniversary with fans.
If I think like that, I feel I can appreciate even more what they are making for us ^^

Thank you for the translation! I always enjoy reading their comments about songs. After what Ken said, now I'm really curious about the lyrics for "wild flower" =3

[mei_24]

I have really great expectations of this song, hyde worked so much on lyrics!
I expect it to be as great as his masterpieces (like, to say, Niji).
I'm really looking forward to listening to the new album (my copy is on the way...)
Thanks for commenting ^-^
