It's been a loooooong time coming, but I finally wrote up a FAQ to keep linked up on the Taiji Project profile. Keep in mind that this is subject to change.

Speaking of wondering what concept Goshi will come up with next (see previous post)... this song, which was distributed for free at a particular live earlier this year, sort of represents the concept that will define their new FULL ALBUM coming out in September. The song is Gyoushounin no Kaiga, or "the peddler's painting," and the album's title ( Read more... )

Moving on, here's the coupling track from Suicide Ali's January single, and just as... unique, and stuff, as the title track - Sequential Soda. I love the title as much as anything. :B And yeah, as with most of this band's concept singles, the first track flows into this one so that both songs tell one collective story. Same with Stitch DoLL/ ( Read more... )

Um... *swipes dust off journal* Yeah, my poor Taiji sites have been completely neglected for the past... what, year? Sigh. Real life... never thought I'd be in a position to complain about that e_e;; *ducks ( Read more... )

And secondly, the title track - Donor of lie. This one was a bit more inundated with Goshi's typical bizarre, ambiguous lyrical genius than Tsumetai Kage... though still less so than many of their older songs. Ahem ( Read more... )

I think I'm breaking records with every new Suicide Ali release that comes out now... Donor of lie was released this past, what, June? July? And now it's October? At least I beat the release of their next single by about a month... *shrivels ( Read more... )

And my fourth and final song represented today is also the most recently released, the 2010 single Dear Snow. I received the request not long after it came out, which tells you how far behind I got... *hangs self* I'm sure there are a hundred other translations out for this by now (along with all the other songs in this spam, really), but I did it ( Read more... )

Third in line is another concert special, a solo by Ohno Satoshi from... I believe the How's it Going tour? And in contrast to the previous two rap-based pieces of insanity, this one's short and sweet in every sense of the term - All My Love, foooor yooouuuu~ *shot*

Arashi (Ohno Satoshi) - All My Love

( Romaji )

WHEW. Ok, this one was... educational. That's not why it took me almost a year to finally finish it, but just sayin'. *killed*

So the song we have here is Get Yourself Arrested, which was requested as a duet by Sakurai Sho and Matsumoto Jun performed during Arashi's 2001 concert tour... but some searches for the lyrics revealed that it was ( Read more... )

Why is it that every time I finally get around to logging in to LJ and trying to accomplish something, there's some server error or site downtime going on? I swear that's happened every time I've tried to do any kind of maintenance-ish stuff here for the past, like, 4 months ( Read more... )
