RAINBOW Special Site: Translation of the Different Song Styles on RAINBOW

[fantaisie.sign]

At the special site, there is a page describing the different moods and melodies of each track from RAINBOW. I used Excite to translate it so it's fairly accurate, except for the extra kanji and kana that wouldn't translate.

---

track00 -
In order to record on an album, a melody which symbolizes this album at the moment of being what was got from early time and asking Mr. D-A-I about the proposal of in strike music and which drifts gently stopped at mind, and was advancing the talk also to him with the inclusion base. However, the thing which the ayu he & staff also including this plan that does not look at a kind until now [ say / that the person who bought it, without recording on the CD itself can hear it by the site ] proposed and determined.

track01 -everlasting dream
In strike music with which the start of Book CD is decorated. ... which Mr. CMJK specializing in a composition & arrangement had told such a thing "they are NO RAIN and NO. A rainbow (a beautiful thing, joy) is not visible without - rain (suffering). " By the sound which united the above atmosphere with the nuance of the music which ayu imagined, it completed to the musical piece in which the introduction of an album is impressed. ‚ê‚Ä‚¢‚_ language like his whisper which flows indifferently also became what a spread of the story of �¡�ì is impressed in.

track02 -WE WISH
Rise tempo music with the feeling of an attack finished in the HlambdaL arrangement with which the start of this editing is decorated. The directivity of a sound is the result which hammered out the approach which was not until now. it is made to keenly realize the strong messages in [ ayu ] ‚µ‚å‚Á‚Ï also including the world of ŽŒ The new challenge in a sound is inlaid into the key point, and the counter harmony of "WE WISH" which the reverse side of rust hears etc. makes a presentiment of a new challenge with a new album have.

track03 -Real me
Although it generally tended to be bundled with the R&B taste as the touch of music, it was made without completely insisting there as his consciousness. It is the music currently expressed just by having believed the power in which the approach by the power of the idea by the ayu itself or ŽŒ wrapped in the whole musical piece, and just made them the Ayumi Hamasaki world. Since his message here is a woman on the theme of "woman", the woman has presented the feeling of not the implications expressing distinction called how but the sometimes fought thing, and a strong thing as man to the last. The dances developed with the cast in a promotion video clip are those of a glimpse with value.

track04 -Free & Easy
Music which it just assumed by ayu and the producer in the magazine photography spot, "Will go by this!" when considering the space tie-up plan with a magazine "Free & Easy." The musical piece with which the arrangement [ that it is grand and Gothic ] by HlambdaL had a start of the Ayumi Hamasaki story in impressive (their VAJON which has gone up while it orders at the end and there is no sufficient explanation was the closest to image although I had many AREN jars handle) 2002. It is the big-scale result into which the message of this music was blown also by the promotion video clip.

track05 -Heartplace
It is the excellent piece of music of medium tempo with a quite strong lock color also in the Hamazaki musical piece. What finished work early in the schedule of album music recording. The first rough arrangement was the thing of a quite straight lock taste, and in order to be materialized considering this as a musical piece of ayu, trial and error were ‚_‚è‚©‚¦(ed) variously. It is the dynamic string arrangement by Mr. “‡Œ’ who also appointed the arrangement of a single "Voyage" to have become a conclusive factor. ‰pŒêŽŒ of the above-mentioned rust portion was able to echo and suit this, and Ayumi Hamasaki's new lock feeling was able to be shown.

track06 -Over
Sadness •Y‚¤ medium slow music of an ayu characteristic. The arrangement order to HlambdaL by him was also very clear, and what went up first was also a thing almost near a completed type. If it considers now at the moment of VOKARU Rec when ŽŒ which went up to a tone which wraps in the sadness by HlambdaL united, it will be reminded of being one of the musical pieces advanced most smoothly. The sense which applies "It is Over" and English WORD in the end of rust expresses the effect to the extent that a challenge cannot be thought to English ŽŒ for the first time from �¡�ì.

track07 -HANABI
No one but [ Ayumi Hamasaki ] is new, and, and yet, it is an excellent piece of music with the very high completeness as pop. The view of the world of ŽŒ of ayu in sound approach, engineering, and Japanese that made it crawl on a root there firmly. what only Ayumi Hamasaki can do truly was completed -- it was so much alike and became the deep music of a thought It is visible like UK trip hop / dub sound, however is ‰S nostalgic to the heart. I will consider, even if possibly it was over expression by –Ú�ü of only a domestic market supposing it carried out or, when this music was produced.

track08 -taskinillusion
Entrance-in strike music twisted to the 2nd section so to speak in the flow of an album if compelled. The voice melody track1 of ayu which comes out on the way is also that from which nuance is different again, and deployment of the middle-stage game of an album is directed dramatically. Although it is not like [ which is explained ], either, taskinillusion is the illusion of the AREN jar tasuku (smile)!
the title loaded with the love to tasuku and play also according [ this time which "is TASUKINRYUDO in interchange RYUDO (interlude) of tasuku" ] to the ayu itself to the question of "what meaning taskinlude is" at the stage director of live tour to a serious look about the musical piece name of "I am [ ... ]" also before

track09 -everywhere nowhere
Very unique rise tempo music which begins from the beginning from the reading of ‰pŒêŽŒ suddenly. the eccentric world, KATEGORAIZU [ Mr. pop who took charge of composition ] not at all, -- ayu -- being such -- it did not leave but he was disguised as ‚Ü‚¢ The tones who the arrangement by Mr. CMJK also matches and change with scenes variously are the features of this music itself.
if it says musically -- various meanings -- the taste of the 80s which had many experiments -- a color -- it is expressed deeply and all the brain trusts concerned with this music are demonstrating each sense by this keyword also including Mr. BERA's guitar play
The message from his philosophical standpoint is felt for the expression "symbolizing kana" in the phrase in ŽŒ.

track10 -July 1st
A musical piece with a ‰Ä‚Á‚Û‚¢ impression strong very automatically is being produced, without always planning in why the musical piece released in summer, and tackling... It was this music this time. Not to mention the contents of an arrangement, the play with a transparent feeling by guitarist Susumu Nishikawa enlivens the atmosphere of this music more. The place which thought how the proposal of the scratch play by DJ cool-K would be felt for ayu "it has not said. But at what may be heaped up more towards the second half, it is with ".
Positive day recreation SHON was made and it became more creative.

track11 -Dolls
Medium music with the scale large when starting album recording work which was touched off by Director Takeshi Kitano work "Dolls" which had come into contact with, and was produced. The musical piece itself is one music which grew up to be what will be again born instantly if he begins to assemble to make it such music, although it existed from before, and has strong impact. The chorus work which chips in the second half of the inside of music, and spreads gradually is the very dramatic production on which the flower blooms completely.

track12 -neverending dream
About work of this album, the members of an AREN jar were advanced to each one who has long association from the past work very tight schedule inside. In strike music which can be called one reply which was completed also under such circumstances, and which imagines the album concept as HlambdaL. Each installation mental sound which begins this music and each AREN jar weaves has a meaning very much in the album. When this demonstration was heard, ayu was begun and the work staff decided ‹È�‡ to be this position unanimously mostly.

track13 -Voyage
Although one music which surely represents the year in Ayumi Hamasaki's history every year has been produced, this Voyage is the excellent piece of music which became the result which can be called representation music in 2002 which accepts oneself and others. The reputation from a general user also improved the ear extolment from a creator or the industry persons concerned with last thing. It is Mr. AREN jar “‡Œ’ to have united the focus exactly to the musical piece image by him. The whole music is formed in the grand thing by the gospel tone chorus which feels the royal road as pop according to a beautiful string line and a Negro singer basically.

track14 -Close to you
Music finished in order to make it what it notices that there was no work which can be clearly called Christmas musical piece although there were many end-of-the-year releases historically when recalled, and the image impressed more in with him. As inside album work work of a tight schedule, this was the last musical piece. In fact, although it was arrangement MENTO of directivity which decorates the not a thing but album last of a Christmas image on the preceding paragraph story, while the work of other music advanced, the above-mentioned idea surfaced, and it was mostly reconstructed from the start at once. An AREN jar is Mr. Seiji Kameda who is the first appointment in an original musical piece this time. It became suitable for blending the sound approach of the characteristic of him himself with the feeling of Ayumi Hamasaki which he imagines well, and rounding off the second half of an album. the only one in an album -- the sharp-toothed eel by him -- it is music without a part, instead the profound and grand chorus of the choir style by the he idea is featured, and it has become the point which impresses this music more deeply


track15 -independent+
the talk of the theme song of baseball has surfaced in an early stage, and honest -- the musical piece of the image very near [ although the work to the contents from which the target was narrowed down so far was uneasy in the ability to do truly ] the concept by Mr. D-A-I, and ayu -- his "-- it will do I think that the masterpiece so far was produced just because there was a good judgment of ‚¢‚³‚¬ that it would say now", not at all. growth of the AREN jar tasuku -- exhaust a remarkable arrangement work by keyword called a lock -- the approach of the new sound induced with ayu which is not is felt the idea which puts in the audience in music -- ayu -- from him -- being born -- a manager -- the megaphone of G teams -- up to TOKYO DOME -- buying it -- going -- Hamo Hamo Boys -- a chorus & GANARI team -- having -- recording Their encouragement is resembled ‰Ì�º and, therefore, the tension of a musical piece is raised further. And this music that has already flowed in the secret track of the Hamasaki album usual practice also at the ending of the regular program "ayu ready?" of ayu. Tempo is BPM166 of Hamazaki musical piece in-history maximum HAYA! This VOKARU recorded in the raw session so that it might be usual is Hamo. Hamo Boys & Girls and TEIKU sung in the booth large together adopt. It seems that the atmosphere which is rising joyfully also in sound in the studio is in sight. And the method of this music CD inclusion -- just before mastering -- becoming -- "from ayu -- probably, SHIKURETTO ‚Á‚Ä‚¢‚Á‚Ä and rope ‚ª‚Á‚Ä‚Á‚Ä will also be calm (to notation music) -- if it carries out ? ‚» (independent) and a hand clap and laughter will be added at the end, what it will become -- ", and this and a KIBATSU idea If it makes such in a hurry, it will become KAKKOII ‚Á‚Ä‚± conversely and will OK. It is the finish which was elaborate to the conclusion of the last.

Here's my translation of what Ayu said under the "Ayu's Comments." I tried to make them as understandable as possible:

Track00 -
Although there are no lyrics yet, it is still a beautiful piece of music.

Track01 - everlasting dream
The first song melody in the album appeared in nature and when I heard it, I wanted it to be made into a song immediatly.

Track02 - WE WISH
WE WISH is a strong tune. It isn't only vocals and a melody, but it has a stronger and rougher vocal than usual. Doesn't this feature carefully emphasize the kana language?

Track03 - Real me
Although I'm the type who seldom thickens the chorus, as for Real me the chorus is a "van van" touch from the peculiar world. Therefore, it took more time to complete the task than usual as if it's a seed.

Track04 - Free & Easy
"Holding also the freely-attached responsibility, we would like to become the human who can keep living . We would like to become yourself where such words matches with the person -- being Free and Easy." Ayu was drawn to this and wanted to write about it. When the song was close to completion, the melody was adjusted to demonstrate suffering from hardship.

Track05 - Heartplace
If the recording cirumstances includes entering a vocal booth, singing at different tones, everything comes out! But this time, the I sang a little, heard it come out, and felt it. You work with the flow whenever the orgin is different. There is such meaning and impressive tunes in the music.


Track06 - Over
Although it was written in a hotel, the melodramatic English was not easily decided. Various ways of singing were tried and the present one fitted the best.

Track07 - HANABI
When making the 3 songs for "H," we wanted to have a tune that expressed "a sadly ended summer" and HANABI was the result.

Track08 - taskinllusion
Since this album had a certain meaning and unification that wasn't settled, I thought that the monochrome should be touched up around the middle. This is the magic! It was thought to be, and is, an illusion. (smile)

Track09 - everywhere nowhere
Hearing the music and the arrangement for the first time, I knew it would be added into the album. The lyrics were still being formed and touches were added that were never done in the past.

Track10 - July 1st
July 1st has bright lyrics and a minor melody. It surprised me how the world's view of this was beginning to come out like a seed.

Track11 - Dolls
At the time the music was completed, "the picture of a rapid blooming flower spreading out far" became "making a flower bloom beautifully" by adding lyrics rapidly. It completed the expression because it emphasized the delicate Japanese image.

Track12 - neverending dream
The strikings in the music is also the feel of H Lamda L's magic. You think that by inserting this tune in the album order, you look for the increasing strikes although they're not detailed.Since the melody strikes were synthesized, they were also beautiful and decided to record them that way.

Track13 - Voyage
- - - the Voyage link doesn't work - - -

Track14 - Close to you
It's my Christmas song. When the Christmas touch was added, it felt more like "Close to you." Is it good even with Christmas kana? You think it is, but the language feels whole and important without change.

Track15 - independent+
Should kana have been used? With independent as a base it became stronger and longer. When you hear it I want you to see and hear pleasure. (laughing) I had tasuku, 2 managers, school gang leader, Hamo Hamo Boys & Girls who came in the summer, and friends who participated at my side during the chorus. It follows as a theme song to the ending of "Ayu Ready?" over the summer for some who understand kana.
