I caught their SXSW performance on the iConcert channel. What I like about them:
Their lyrics don't make me cringe at all, in fact they're rather wonderful
The girl singer is not obsessed with her 'assets', instead she was really just into singing the songs (you may understand this relief if you've spent so much time listening to songs you like being sung by half-naked or even quarter-naked girls and you can't recommend them to any of your family members, like I did)
I dunno much about music so I think the sounds are deceptively simple, but anyone who can make songs that catchy and interesting with only two major instruments must be really talented
I can't believe she'd actually sing that ah, ah, ah, ah thing all the way through instead of putting it on a digital loop like everyone else does nowadays. It's impressive.
I found them in the weekly Korean music chart show, of all places. I don't know what they're doing in M-Countdown, but their image during the performance lulled me into thinking that they were a k-band. Well, I was listening to the 4 Non Blondes in my laptop at the time, while watching M-Countdown on TV, while burning files to a DVD...hey, multitasking is the mode of the future~
Anyway, the words filtered through my headphones enough to make me realize, wait a minute...these are japanese words I'm hearing. So I listened and thought they're pretty good. Then, as is the natural progression of how these things are done, I went on the net and googled them and was pretty pleased that they're indeed j-rockers and not a k-band belting out their japanese release.
They've been around for quite sometime, although I haven't got to finding out whether the band still has the same members or they've been playing that musical chair sorta thing like all the other jrock bands I've liked previously (i.e. disbanding > forming new bands > shuffling members around as they pleased. I mean, look at the updates in this blog today...this band and that band are disbanding, what even *facepalm*).
Here they are: SPYAIR with a theme song from an episode of Bleach, my (only) favourite shonen manga~
Coz she kicks ass. She's also a cheerleader who doesn't hang out with the cool crowd and best friend with a tech nerd and a cute wierdo who has a ferret as a pet. What's not to like?
Bulan sabit
Yang jatuh dipelataran
Bintang redup
Tanpa cahaya gemintang
Langkah tanpa arah
Sesat di jalan yang terang
Aku yang terlena dibuai pelukan dosa
Chorus:
Ingin pulang membalut luka hatimu
Ku pun tahu betapa pedih batinmu
Beri kesempatan atau jatuhkan hukuman
Andai maaf pun tak kau berikan
Air mata tulus jatuh di sudut bibir mu
Tak terlintas dendam di bening mata indah mu
Aku yang merasa sangat berdosa pada mu
Masih pantaskah mendampingi mu
Biar lah bulan bicara sendiri
Biarlah bintang kan menjadi saksi
Tak kan ku ulangi walau sampai akhir nanti
Cukup derita sampai di sini
Morunun chokago chomjom nega to pyone jigo
Kakkum tarunyoja bogo
Saljak kyot nunjildo e bogo
Ije toin kot kata nega neyoja toil kot kata
Nodo ne ma wumal kot kata

Han bon punirado chaggu chonado kwoaro bogo
Sarangiran malha naro ne mam dolyo boryo he bogo

Thanks to that A.N.Jell parody clip investigation post, I got kinda obsessed with this song. My lab becomes a makeshift club with the song playing almost non-stop. And since I really want to sing it, I've gone cantabile on it.

I like this song coz it has screaming sections in it.. hehe. I don't even know what it's called. Since I didn't know how to find the lyrics, I've typed it. If there's any mistake, please lemme know kay..
Tercalar pelangi dihiris gerimis
Senja pun merangkak menutup mentari
Terhias warnanya ke wajah
Lagu kedamaian tiada kedengaran
bumi yang merekah disirami darah
kemelut melanda tiada kesudahan
kemusnahan bermaharajalela
yang lemah menjadi mangsa
anak-anak kecil menggoncangkan ibunya
yang lemah longlai tak lagi bernyawa
jeritan suara batinnya
tak siapa mendengarnya
tergadaikah maruah oleh janji-janji
terbayarkah dengan nyawa dan darah
soalan yang tiada jawapan
kemanusiaan telah lama hilang
kini yang tinggal hanya ketakutan
musnah kasih sayang dan persaudaraan
tandus akhlak dan keimanan
menyemai persengketaan
anak-anak kecil menggoncangkan ibunya
yang lemah longlai tak lagi bernyawa
jeritan suara batinnya
tak siapa mendengarnya
kemanusiaan telah lama hilang
kini yang tinggal hanya ketakutan
musnah kasih sayang dan persaudaraan
tandus akhlak dan keimanan
menyemai persengketaan
I dunno who sang this the first time I heard it.. but I found it again on a Hong Gil Dong MV today. It's such a heartfelt song and it's so difficult to find the lyrics that I have to paste the one I found here. If the original uploader has any issue with me pasting it in my blog, please inform me and I'll take it off right away.
