Special YELL!!

Lyricist: Yuuki Aira

Composer: Watanabe Kazunori

Artist: Tomita Kentarou (Sasaki Junya), Oota Masaki (Katagiri Itsuki), Masaki Kaoru (Sawamura Chizuru)

Check, Check, One, Two, Go!

The dice is cast Just do it like you used to Waving Bye-Bye to the timid yesterday Your heroic figure begins, This show time!

The Earth is rotating with the same rhythm It won't bother waiting; so let's just laugh! (Huh...Huh...)

If we always see it from the future far away It looks like a slight checkpoint So let's take quite a grandiose deep breath, Okay! There's nothing that I don't need on the things I have piled up so far So I want to softly loosen a little bit That tight shoulder of yours (gently) I'll be happy if it could heal you (and then) I want to send it to you; the Special YELL!

Let's dance with some light Steps Get yourself a break time sometimes Go Welcome the firm tomorrow Seeing you doing your best It's so cute!

The Earth is rotating without any resting The unexpected meeting we were placed on (Huh...) is the same as miracle!

If we always see it from the space far away It looks like a slight short wall So let's loosen up a little bit and take a deep breath, All right! There's nothing better than having something to believe on So I want pull up it up softly (those cheeks) That slightly sulky mouth of yours It's alright if you want to spurt it out (let's laugh) I like your smile, Special SMILE!

Let's break through the clouds and skies all alike!

If we always see it from the future far away It looks like a slight checkpoint So let's take quite a grandiose deep breath, Okay! There's nothing that I don't need on the things I have piled up so far So I want to softly loosen a little bit That tight shoulder of yours (gently) I'll be happy if it could heal you (and then) I want to send it to you; the Special YELL!

There's nothing better than having something to believe on So I want pull up it up softly (those cheeks) That slightly sulky mouth of yours It's alright if you want to spurt it out (let's laugh) I like your smile... Special SMILE! Special YELL!

ABOGADO Ja Nee Shi...  (“I’m...I’m Not ‘Avogado’...”)

“Strawberry, banana, apple, melon, cherry, orange! Kiwi, peach, avocado!”

OR: A metaphorical avocado in a bowl of prettier fruits, and she’s so off the radar of her crush that he can’t even get her name right.

A word from Maya (Dia): “Hello! I’m Maya but I’m probably more well known as Mesoki. From when we started planning last year to when we began releasing covers, it’s been tons of fun singing with Soleil! I’m really glad to have gotten to sing with this amazing group of people and I’ve made some great friends too. Even if I won’t be able to keep singing with them, I’ll still be a part of the team and I’m excited to see (and hear!) what they do in the future!” 

 This will be our last cover with Maya, and we're glad to have her with us thus far! It's been a long journey since our group started out, but really fun and fulfilling. We wouldn't be here today without Maya! Maya will continue to be part of our team and to help us allocate our lyrics and manage our Tumblr! ^^ 

 Look forward to our next cover of Daisuki Dattara Daijoubu~!

Micari as Antigone and Asuka Fuse as Ismene

Micari (Antigone)

Micari as Antigone

Yoneji Ouchi as Haemon, and company

Micari as Antigone

Ethereal, stylized and visually stunning, Japanese director Satoshi Miyagi’s production of “Antigone,” at the Park Avenue Armory through October 6, fuses several theatrical traditions, some of them thousands of years old, some newly created. Twenty-nine performers, ghostly in flowing white kimonos, glide slowly and gracefully through the ankle-deep water that covers the stage of the Armory’s massive Drill Hall. Placed around them in this pool of shimmering water (made with 18,000 gallons of water) are boulders, meant to resemble a Buddhist stone garden. This is the setting in which Sophocles’ 2,500-year-old play unfolds, set into motion by Antigone’s defiance of her uncle King Creon’s decree that no one bury her brother, who had rebelled against the state. A half dozen of the characters – including Antigone, her sister Ismene, her cousin and fiancée Haemon, and King Creon — are each portrayed by two performers: One, squatting in the water, recites the lines of the character in Japanese (with English surtitles projected on the backdrop.) The other, standing atop one of the boulders, dances the part. These mesmerizing duets are the director’s clever modern adaptation of Japanese Bunraku theater, which traditionally pairs each human performer with a dancing puppet, rather than a human dancer. Similarly, Miyagi adopts Japanese Noh theater (a dozen of the performers play Hiroko Tanakawa’s eerie original music marked by heavy percussion) and Indonesian shadow play.

New York audiences can’t help seeing the immediate relevance of the story of Antigone’s defiance of political authority to do what is morally right, (which was applied most recently to the story of Michael Brown’s killing in Antigone in Ferguson.) In the (as usual oversized) program, Miyagi says that the message of Antigone “is needed in the current moment.” At the same time, though, the director offers a very Japanese interpretation of the play, in effect re-enacting a Buddhist celebration of the dead – paper lanterns with lit candles inside float on the water, which symbolizes the ambiguous, shifting border between life and death. This on occasion proved a distancing sensibility, which distracted me from some of the arguments over conflicting duties that in many productions form an intellectual spine of the play. There was also an unexpected prologue at odds with the usual tone of the tragedy, in which the performers, speaking a heavily accented English, quickly summarized the plot, accompanied by a kind of comic pantomime. These approaches jolted Western expectations for this ancient Greek tragedy, inducing occasional confusion and impatience, requiring adjustments. Still, there were just as many moments that inspired deep emotions: Yes, pity, maybe fear…. but also awe at the haunting beauty.

Anata no Hitomi ni Odorasete (Swayed by Your Eyes)

Lyricist: Yuuki Aira

Composer: Watanabe Kazunori

Artist: DearDream

I Wanna Dance In Your Heart Wow Yeah! Wow Yeah!

I tried to believe in the beauty of something untold Every time your eyes become dim, there's a uncontrollable feeling inside me

Tonight is a Misty one Softly, both of us dreamed something to hide The heat is stirring up We can't go back to what we used to

Shall We. At my first and last tactic, my tensed up chest hurts I wrapped your body tighter as we stare at each other If this goes on, I'm going to melt away Let us dance just like this Dancer In Your Love Is All Night!

Wow Yeah! Wow Yeah!

Before we're aware, we've already became entangled This is the price for being serious The only thing we can do Is passing through the way directly

Sometimes it gets Crazy The cycle goes, and it gets Hardy Embracing you as the evening comes I want to love the entire part of you That is why, fly high!

Shall We. To loosen my lonely heart Smile without any single defense I won't let go every single of your pulse As I tried whispering something unexpected "Please be mine" Dancer In My Love Is All Night!

Shall We. At my first and last tactic, my tensed up chest hurts I begin knowing you more as we stare at each other If this goes on, I'll end up taking you away Let us dance just like this Dancer In Your Love Is All Night!

Wow Yeah! Wow Yeah!
