~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, welcome, let's get the discussions underway =D~

[AyUta]

Amazing first post ^.^ MELL caught my attention with her first single, so I recommend everyone who is curious about her to listen to that! =D

Her PVs are kind of scary, especially the No Vain PV ._.

[GRACE]

I worked very hard on it x_x...

MELL had me captured with Red fraction. I had that on loop for weeks after I first heard it. Even though MELL has an obvious I'VE voice, I still feel that she's pretty unique, and she's my favorite.

Also, let's set the record straight:

MELL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KOTOKO

Am I right lol?

[AyUta]

The lyrics to Red Fraction are pretty strange.

Oh yes, I can't stand the other IVE artists. MELL stands out big time, she's unique anmd her music is really good.

MELL>>>>>>>>>>>>KOTOKO I 100% agree with you there
I TRIED listening to KOTOKO once or twice, but she just...idk x.x;

[GRACE]

You can definately hear the classic I'VE sound in her voice (especially in Virgin's high!), but at the same time, it's unique, and that's what I love about MELL =D

Red fraction's lyrics make me lol, "no time for sissy pig!" XD

[AyUta]

I couldn't make out one of the parts....does she say "I want to bang you" ???? o_o
In the beginning I think. Because it really does sound like it...or she might be saying "I want to BLAME you" ionno. what do you think GRACE?

[Hazuki]

^ LOL "I wanna bang you~" XD

I've never heard of her, but when you say j-trance/techno, I'm in 8D
I'll download some of the stuff in the first post and be back tomorrow~
Thanks, ne^^

[GRACE]

I knew all the lyrics to Red fraction at one point... Hmm... Let me see I think it's "I just wanna bury you"

[AyUta]

^ Ah, okay Thanks. Such strange lyrics.

EDIT: Actually, she says "I want to feel you." I just looked up the lyrics =D

I have a big gun
I took it from my Lord
Sick with Justice
I just wanna feel you
I’m your angel
Only a ring away
You make me violate you
No matter who you are

It’s all up to you
No one lives forever
Been burnt in the hell
By all those pigs out there
It’s always been hell
From when I was born
They make me violate them
No matter who they are

Get down on your knees
Get a good head on your shoulders
If it’s for your guys
Go to the end of the earth
Do what you think
Give it with dedication
I’ll put out your misery

Have no prayer
So, I keep the gun with me
For my safety
I’ll do it with no sweat
They mean business
No time for sissy pig
Queen of ocean
Sing "the Volga" to you

No need to think about it
You do it or you die
Those aren’t tears
Don’t let it trick on you
I am hard as steel
Get out of my way
Pay back all at once
Suck away the tender part

You made a mess
For Christ sake, this rotten world
**** out of luck
Go with my vision
Light up the fire
Right on the power
Weapon… I have it all

Get down on your knees
Get a good head on your shoulders
If it’s for your guys
Go to the end of the earth
Do what you think
Give it with dedication
I’ll put out your misery

You made a mess
For Christ sake, this rotten world
**** out of luck
Go with my vision
Light up the fire
Right on the power
Weapon… I have it all.

[GRACE]

Red fraction and kicks! are my favorite MELL songs =D Also, imo, Proof is probably the worst ^^;; I'm glad it's not on MELLOSCOPE.

[sora-kara]

i preordered it from cdjapan. im very excited!! ^_^_^

but...lets just get one thing straight.
Eiko Shimamiya>>>>>>>>>>>MELL
eiko shimamiya is the queen of I've Sound. >: (



and those lyrics are retarded.
i never realized....

haha "you make me violate you"

[GRACE]

^Well, okay, I give you that one. Eiko is love <3 But MELL's still better than KOTOKO >.>...

The Red fraction lyrics are like messed up, but I love them XD I especially love when she sings "You made a mess, for Christ's sake this rotten world, **** out of luck" XD

[AyUta]

I haven't listened to Eiko so I can't say anything

[GRACE]

^Eiko is good too, you should give her a try as well, especially her work for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni <3

I can't wait for MELLOSCOPE, I hope the CD+DVD version is still available when I can finally order it =/

KOTOKO = for me lol

Hey guys, I'm new to MELL here, but my friend here (take a wild guess as to who that is lol) just introduced me to her and I like ! My favorite song is No Vain and the PV was interesting too :O. So uh yeah, it looks like I became a fan just in time! I'm really excited for the album!

EDIT: Oh and I'm taking the three singles from the first post lol.

[GRACE]

XD~ Better late than never right~?

I really can't wait to hear the new songs, especially SCOPE and Under Superstition, because the titles are interesting.

[~Yuki~]

MELL deserves more than just 4 new songs. and the fact that MELL-sama needs to wait 10 years for an album... damm u IVE. >_<

..oh well. i know MELLSCOPE will be great. preview of SCOPE's pv seems pretty decent. the Engrish is still there, but that's just why i love MELL<3

[GRACE]

^There's a preview!? link =D!

[AyUta]

I had no idea o_o I can;t find it on dailymotion or youtube...

[~Yuki~]
