Base Ball Bear - Kyousoukyoku ( Base Ball Bear - 協奏曲)

Base Ball Bear is definitely growing on me. I thought they were too dancable for my liking but I thought Luis would love them (maybe like 3 years ago). They remind me of bands like Hey Mercedes and Hot Rod Circuit that Luis used to listen to alot and dance to at shows, really rocking out and most of all dancable.

The tune today, Kyousoukyoku (concerto), is one of their slower more rockish tune from their album Juunana-sai (十七歳)(Seventeen). I really like this song because this song is one of those anthem-like last songs (ala Finch's Ender, Third Eye Blind's God of Wine, Oasis' Champaign Supernova), starting off with a really slow beat that slowly builds up to a rockish end. I especially love it when the last beats of the song breaks into the line song breaks into the line:

『君が好き』(I like you)

And after that it a crescendo of guitars and the drums pours in and culminate (for me) into the line:

『すべてが君を幸せにする』((It is) All for your happiness)

Wonderful!

Tsubaki - Katamichi Kippu (つばき - 片道キップ)

Been listening to this Tsubaki song lately、Katamichi Kippu (One Way Ticket). I kinda liked it before this, when I first ripped it off the Best Album compilation. Then I forgot about it, but somehow, it has emerged again and I can't stop listening to it.

Another of Tsubaki's solid rock songs from their album. A very dancable, rocking out song that's both powerful and inspiring (and apparently, with my limited Japanese, the words seems to be quite inspiring).
The parts that are the most driving is the bridge to last chorus all the way to the end of the song, where guitar vocalist, Isshiki Noriyasu, sings:

『飛び出したらそこから　未だ見えぬ世界へ
繋がっていられるさ　君が君でいれるなら
その手を伸ばして　手に入れたものは
君が君で　いるための未来だろう

戻れない日々と片道キップ　見つけ出した自分と向き合って　
君は飛び出した未だ見ぬ世界へ　歌い続けるさ
もうさよならさ』

I thought some of his best singing was in this song at those parts.

Katamichi Kippu can be found on the albums, Yume Miru Machi Made (夢見る街まで) and Best Early Collection 2002-2004:
