Trying once more...

rensahannouAs previously stated, my Happy Boys CD got here the other day ♥♥♥ (Apparently delivered by a ninja. My sister and I heard a noise, went to the door, and discovered a box on the porch, with no person or truck anywhere in sight.)
The cover picture is really nice, and on the lyrics page there's a "data file" and a few small pictures from the recording studio, I'll have to scan them :D And it comes with a card (about the size of a playing card), with a cute in-character picture. And the CD itself is really pretty, it's pink and shiny with a silver design. ♥
It turned out there's actually only one song, but two versions of it -- the regular, and the "Unplugged version," which for some reason is only half as long.
....If I wasn't already completely crazy about this boy, this CD would have done it.
I've said it before, but Setomaru can SING. Really, really well. And I love his voice. ♥ The normal version of "Yasashisa" is just.....wonderful. Completely wonderful. I can't even say anything else about it. ♥
But. I like the "Unplugged version" better. It's only a couple verses long, but....aksdfjaskjdaksjd;akj gaaaaah trying to describe how much I like it would be embarrassing. It really has a completely different sound from the other version -- "Unplugged" really fits. It's got kind of an...open-mic-night sound to it. And he sounds so much older in it, so...mature, for lack of a better word. His voice gets really deep, and...I just really, really like it. A lot.
His talk track is really cute, of course. ♥ He thanks everyone for listening, talks about his character and how the recording was (he was nervous ♥), answers some questions about himself....and says "Bye-bye!" at the end, which is just adorable. ♥
As much as I was looking forward to the BAS album before...I really just can't wait now. I really, really want to hear more from him. Also, I hope TakiYuki sounds better when he's not running around a stage, else he's going to seriously get shown up. Heck, that might happen anyway :D I like TakiYuki's singing, but there's no comparison. Setomaru's voice is so...unique, I guess, and strong. Of course, he'll probably be singing a little differently as Eiji, but still.
*sigh~* I love this CD so much. ♥
Oh, right, lyrics. I've started translating bits and pieces, but as usual, there are things I can't figure out....but, I really like what I've been able to figure out of them. ♥ Both the Japanese and the romaji can be found under the cut~
"やさしさ"
そっとしといて欲しいなら
うつむいたままでいいよ
静かにただそっと
君のそばにいたいだけさ
やさしい言葉が欲しいなら
これ以上ないくらいの
やさしすぎる言葉を
君に かけてあげたい
君が雨に濡れた時 作り笑いをした時
本当は泣きたいくらい寂しかったんでしょう
うまく笑えないのならば うまく笑わなくていいさ
笑顔なんてなくたって ぼくは君のそばにいるよ
何も言いたくないならば 何も言わなくていいさ
言葉なんてなくたって ぼくは君のそばにいるよ
遠慮せずに見せておくれよ
君の弱いところを
君の胸のその奥に
君が隠したその言葉を
例えそれが馬鹿げてても
例えそこに答えが無くても
君の本当の気持ちに
ぼくはたどり着きたいんだ
君が雨に濡れた時 作り笑いをした時
本当は泣きたいくらい寂しかったんだろ
君はそれを隠したから 君は君を困らせた
本当は泣きたいくらい苦しかったんでしょう
うまく笑えないのならば うまく笑わなくていいさ
笑顔なんてなくたって ぼくは君のそばにいるよ
何も言いたくないならば 何も言わなくていいさ
言葉なんてなくたって ぼくは君のそばにいるよ

To me, it sounds like a love song. ...Not an especially happy love song, but still. This is amusing to me, though, since Kyouichi doesn't have a girl at all in the series, unless one shows up at the very end or something. Maybe the song is about a "potential" girl? One he hopes to have? I dunno. It's a nice song, though, and is basically all about how nice Kyouichi is. He's such an awesome character, really. ♥ And it makes me all kinds of happy that on the talk track Setomaru was once again saying how similiar they are :D
So, the preview function is finally working, so I think it'll let me post this one~ And of course, not being able to post long entries has just made me think of lots of things to post long entries about, so...I'll probably be spamming a bit over the next couple days, I apologize in advance ♥
