Why can't these be the album covers..!

EDIT: Joysound Interview.
- The lyrics of Kamisama are based on her novel Kamisama. The "pink hair" line in the lyrics refers to a girl in the novel (who has pink hair).
- LOVELAND's message: Love doesn't have one shape/Love comes in many forms. (It sound kinda weird in English, but I guess she means love can be defined in different ways; you can love people in different ways.)

Theses would have made better cover art for her albums!

I ordered the album... I'll get it in a few days. I know I could have just downloaded it, but I wanted the physical. <3

These shots are amazing. :yes I hope someone with awesome photoshop skills takes these and makes better CD covers than the ones we were given.

And I love her nail polish. :luv2 I think I have something similar to it. :D

just downloaded the album ^^ can't wait to listen to it

tenshi no hane 19th February 2014 07:48 AM

I think this is my 2nd favorite Miliyah album :heart (HEAVEN is unbeatable :laugh). It feels solid? I can't really explain it.

I really love Shape of Love, The One, Pride and 冷静と情热のあいだ. 神様 is still my favorite :heart

----

Are there any LOVELAND songs you guys wanna read a translation of? I feel like translating lyrics~

Chiharo 19th February 2014 09:23 AM

^ I'd like to see a translation of UNIQUE. But any new song on the album will do.

tenshi no hane 19th February 2014 11:39 AM

^ Here you go~

UNIQUE (translation)
Spoiler:
Unique is curious…
Courage is notorious…
Underground is universe…
Justice is genius…

UNIQUE is diamond in the rough
UNIQUE is diamond in the rough
UNIQUE is diamond in the rough

*Give me freedom
Don’t say no
Can’t hear you
On fire
I’ve been searching for me
I’ve been searching for me
I’ve been searching for me
I’ve been searching for me

**No one knows my UNIQUE
New wave is coming out
It's a long, long, long road
Coloring my way
Once in a lifetime
I want to go wild
And disappear like magic
Is it wrong to be different?
I can't be normal. Here today, gone tomorrow
Don't compare me, hey, don't bother, babe
Don't you know? Now you know

UNIQUE is diamond in the rough
UNIQUE is diamond in the rough
UNIQUE is diamond in the rough

***UNIQUE sparks inside my mind
Now is the time
I'm on the long, long, long road
Jump into my wave
Once in a lifetime
I want to burn myself out
And disappear suddenly
Knowing yourself is loving loneliness
A destination we reach after doing what's expected
Popularity is a bubble, hey, like a dream, babe
Don't you know? Now you know

My fate, my wave are up to imagination
I want to do something new
Why do I choose the hard road?
I just can't live normally
When everyone wears a white shirt
I choose to wear a red dress

Baby bitches, I'm okay
Superwoman, baby, I don't care
Sceneries blurred like a mirage
I can see them perfectly clear
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
And now I'm flying first class
Respect individuality
Shout "that's having courage"
Love myself and don't cheat
I refuse to live without changing
I challenge fate 'cause I'm still a
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
And now I'm flying first class

* repeat
** repeat
***repeat



It's refreshing to hear her sing a song that's not about love for once, in my opinion. I like the 'white shirt, red dress' line.

Chiharo 19th February 2014 12:01 PM

^Wow, I really love the lyrics. Thanks!

tenshi no hane 19th February 2014 01:15 PM

^ You're welcome!

I missed translating Miliyah's lyrics. I have a love-hate relationship with her lyrics. I love her way of writing but at the same time she can be so damn vague it's a pain sometimes.

Anyhow. I translated The One too. I love her "haters to the left" lyrics :laugh

The One (translation)
Spoiler:
Baby, please don't care about me

I don't believe what the eye can't see
I'm strong enough to live
What I did back then
Wasn't wrong
Only the things I can see are my truth
Don't care if someone can't keep his mouth shut

Let me know-no-no what you want me to do
Cold winds might blow but I'm fine
Now I know-no-no what you mean to me
Alright, alright
Don't mess around with my feelings
I'm the only one who can control me
I won't flip, back down, sell out
(Baby, please don't care about me)

*Just let me be the one
Light a fire in my heart
Give me the reason why
Engrave your proof
I feel my blood burn red
My soul, my body
Just the way I am

I know when you're lying
Tell me the truth
You were mocking me just now, right?
Hey, speak up clearly
This world already has enough obnoxious people
Actually, you're the pitiful one
'Cause your true colors will show someday

Let me know-no-no what you want me to do
I want to be alone sometimes too
Hope you know-no-no what you mean to me
Alright, alright
Negative boyfriend, lying friends
School is a battleground, home is quiet
Ok, I'm fine. I'm free
(I can save me by myself. I know)

Just let me be the one
Light a fire in my heart
Give me the reason why
Engrave your proof
So I am not swept away
My soul, my body
Just the way I am

I was born alone
But my road overlaps with someone else's
I'm not afraid of relationships
I want to part with those I don't need
I know myself
I'm just living my life

*repeat

Let me go, let me know
Keep it going to the sky
Don't you know, this is my show
I'm the one as I am


I love this stanza: "I know when you're lying / Tell me the truth / You were mocking me just now, right? / Hey, speak up clearly / This world already has enough obnoxious people / Actually, you're the pitiful one / 'Cause your true colors will show someday" :heart

x-megumi-x 19th February 2014 02:35 PM

Thanks for the translations, tenshi! If it doesn't bother you, could you translate "Shape of love" and "冷静と情热のあいだ" as well please?

LOVELAND is amazing, much better than TRUE LOVERS in my opinion. I had low expectations after listening to the previews and I felt pretty disappointed, but the full songs are all great. :heart
Miliyah was right when she described the album as a masterpiece :)

aloopy 19th February 2014 02:49 PM

Thank you so much for translations! I second "冷静と情热のあいだ" and "Kamisama" as well if you got time please, thanks! :)

thinkingoutloud89 19th February 2014 04:22 PM

I never got the hate for TRUE LOVERS...to me it is her second best album and I can't put this new one over it since I can't remember half of the songs after I played it. Yet, it has a very cohesive sound and I love her voice in many songs. The new LOVER part is great to, more relaxing but I love VERBAL so I love both versions.

I will listen to it more, but to me so far it is

HEAVEN->TRUE LOVERS->Tokyo Star->LOVELAND

But I stopped judeging individual albums sinde I will end up listen to songs in playlist anyways :)

tenshi no hane 19th February 2014 06:03 PM

You're welcome, y'all~

冷静と情熱のあいだ (Between composure and passion)
Spoiler:
Between composure and passion
My chaotic world felt perfect (so happy I could die)
I was at your mercy (my dream came true)
I hid my burning feelings (you & me)

Whenever I appear before you
I can't speak
But I burn quietly… Yes, I burned

Between composure and passion
Between composure and passion
Holding love in my dreams
I was surrounded by kindness, hope and loneliness
I didn't know what love was back then

Yes, because you seemed sad that day
I saw something similar to me in your eyes
I wanted to hold you
And so, I fell in love
With such strong feelings
I pray and watch you

If you'd smile for me
I'd run through the city naked
If you'd embrace me
I wouldn't mind if I'd disappear right there and then

Between composure and passion
Between composure and passion
Holding love in my dreams
Learning love, I learned loneliness
Content, my feelings vanished

I place my hand on your cold cheek
If only you and I could disappear right now
Everything would remain beautiful forever
But everything would be as if it never happened, yet even so…

Between composure and passion
Between composure and passion
The last thing I saw
Was you smiling at only me
Shedding two teardrops, I closed my eyes

I love you like the ocean loves silence


I have to admit I'm not completely sure whether I translated the 7th stanza correctly.

I'll try to translate Shape of Love tomorrow~

I already translated Kamisama ;) In this post.

aloopy 19th February 2014 06:58 PM

Thank you so much, and thanks for pointing out Kamisama lyrics, totally missed it :)


Sad to see kinda low sales for this great album (debuted at #3 with around 9k copies sold), but oh well

Chiharo 19th February 2014 09:53 PM

TRUE LOVERS is one of my most favorite albums ever. LOVELAND still sounds boring to me (but honestly so did TRUE LOVERS and I'm sure I'll love LOVELAND maybe almost as much as TRUE LOVERS later).

The thing with LOVELAND is that there are just not so many upbeat songs. There's only really EMOTION, UNIQUE and RUN FREE. The rest are either slow or mid-tempo. But that doesn't have to be bad.

happiholic★ 20th February 2014 04:33 AM

People don't like True Lovers? Its not my favorite album (that's a toss between Heaven and Ring. I also really love Rose), but I think its quite good. Baby Love is my jam :heart

blackmage 20th February 2014 04:58 AM

WHAT?! There was SOOOOO much hate for TRUE LOVERS at first it was a bit astounding. I didn't get it either... but it is kind of nice to see that opinions have swayed some. I always loved it. <3

tenshi no hane, thanks for the translations btw! :D

tenshi no hane 20th February 2014 08:37 AM

I'm one of those people who doesn't really like TRUE LOVERS :laugh I liked the singles (ROMAN :heart) but, except for All I Want Is You, none of the album tracks really stood out to me.

Anyhow. Here's another translation~

Shape Of Love (translation)
Spoiler:
I don't tell anyone
This feeling is love
Tonight I want to pledge to you
But you never answer the phone when I need you to
You're fickle but wonderful

Where are you tonight?
I'm selfish too
I don't want to look uncool, I hate that
Suffocating cigarette smoke
Don't need a reason to drink
Hey, find me
Before some lousy guy calls out to me

*Calling me. Not for my sake
It doesn't have to be beautiful, this way is just fine
I want to give you loneliness
Once you understand the meaning of being together
Love is right here, within reach
We might be dreaming
But you got me, I got you
No need to be afraid
Everything is up to you
Especially distorted love
Don't tell me shape of love

Fun things and things that make me happy
I want to do those together with you
You don't have to notice, you're busy
But I'd like to be treated gently once, special

Just be free
Don't stop at one place
I'll hide my feelings
I drown in you once again
"The shape of love is a heart"
Who in the world decided that?
The shape of love is love
Love is something everyone shapes themselves

Calling me. Not for someone's sake
Don't force an answer
Love doesn't need something in return
I know we'll be together
That's why love is right here, within reach
We might be dreaming
But you got me, I got you
No need to be afraid
Everything is up to you
Especially distorted love
Don't tell me shape of love

Why do we chase after things
That have no shape?
Wandering in pursuit of invisible ties
At night when the grey sky quietly looks over us

*repeat



I'm currently in love with LOVER -Episode II-. It's too damn long so I made iTunes start it at 1:53 but her voice at 1:53-3:18 is to die for.

thinkingoutloud89 20th February 2014 09:58 AM

^hmm? TRUE LOVERS had 眠れぬ夜のせいで which is better than any album track on LOVELAND, and the singles on TL alone push the album in front of LL...
