Suara

Standard

😀 😀

I like Suara as well! Her voice and the kind of music she makes are really nice.
Suara’s real name is Akiko Tatsumi, she was born on August 3, 1979 in Osaka. The name ‘Suara’ is derived from the Indonesian word suara: ‘voice’ or ‘sound’. Some of her songs have featured as anime theme songs for e.g. To Heart 2 and Utawarerumono.

Nagi Yanagi

Standard

😀 😀

I really like Nagi Yanagi’s voice! I liked Supercell when she was the vocalist, but now that she’s gone solo – I don’t like Supercell anymore.

It is a bit difficult to explain Nagi Yanagi’s discography since she has released songs and albums under different names. In 2005, Nagi started releasing cover songs on the Internet under the name ‘CorLeonis’. In May 2006, she formed a music duo with singer Annabel under the name ‘Binaria’. In 2007, Nagi began releasing cover songs to video sharing site Nico Nico Douga under the name Gazelle. This led to Nagi’s recruitment as the vocalist for the band Supercell. She remained the vocalist until 2011. She made her solo debut in 2012 with some songs that were featured as anime themes.

I would like to feature her solo work here, because I’m getting confused by everything she did under other names and with other people :’)

13. Toraware no Babel

The flash of lightning running through locked reality
Spills sand that overflows and falls on everyone

The palm that God held out to me
Is the identity I can’t run away from

In my heart’s shape, there is a lie that is so definite that it is too perfect
The sky that turned towards the thorn’s arrow
Is a deep darkness of rebirth forever without a target

I can hear the voice of captivity
Because I will never give up on you
Begging until I am forgiven by fate
No, no, no, it’s not the end

More than the words that were stolen, we will likely be able
to make the echo of my chest into a signal

Love is something different than just a spell
I know that for sure

In the anticipated future
there are no conditions for deciding limits

While it is born from solitude
My other shadow lures under evil intentions

I believe the released voice
No matter what wall, I will be able to crush it someday
When my not-dried spirit throbs
Why, why, why am I casting my eyes down?

To the tomorrow of our promise, to the moment I will be saved
Surely, surely, the beginning is right here

I can hear the voice of captivity
Because I will never give up on you
Begging until I am forgiven by fate
No, no, no, it’s not the end
No, no, no, it’s not the end

Listen to my song, ooh…

Can you hear my voice? Please tell me…
Aiming at the fabricated sky without answers, fly far away…

Embrace my everything, because words aren’t enough
I can’t control it, I don’t want to…
The sensation I’m having for the first time
I will sing it to you, the beginning of infinity…

‘So smile…’
I embrace you warmer than anyone, stronger than anyone
Is it okay if my trembling heart is shaking? Something is moving…
Surely, from the day we were born to the day we would meet, we have been searching
I remember the nights where the wind was crying
The traces we played together dance in the heavens

Are you feelings reaching you? Truth or false?
Every time we touch each other, the irritation grows stronger, crying more crying…

Always just avoiding, it looks like I’ll lose sight of tomorrow
So that I can’t get hurt, so that I can’t hurt
It’s just the lies that are increasing

‘But smile…’
From a bit painful to the extent of suffocating… because it’s precious
I was afraid of my uncontrollable self and my yearning feelings
Finally, I realized the instinctive rhythm circling through my whole body
I’m not letting go of you again
A number of yesterdays illuminate the future

Even if this body will decay, there are things I want to convey to you
Resound, the song of life, flap your wings to the distance

‘So smile…’
I want to embrace you warmer than anyone, stronger than anyone
Is it okay if my trembling heart is shaking? Something is moving…
Surely, from the day we were born to the day we would meet, we have been searching
I remember the nights where the wind was crying
I draw the miracle we spun together in the heavens

Lyrics: Mizuki Nana
Music: Yashikin

1. Metro Baroque

Who is it that’s calling me?
In this world delirious with a fever dancing in capriciousness
That person is luring me with jewel-like lies
And binding me with a sweet and lewd gaze

I can’t fight it…
This aching instinct to tie together the pieces of fate

In the truth that the deep crimson moon halo lights up
I thrust the fragilely breaking illusions violently towards darkness
Tell me… If there is something after eternity
I don’t need anything
You are my only guide

Who is it that you’re calling?
All alone, wandering, trapped in shapeless sins
It looks like you will drown, while you are bewildered by poured love
So much you can’t even blink your eyes

I am here…
Melting frozen time, that is the corridor of whispers

Scattering silver flowers, beautifully in the dim silence
The voice that’s not a choked voice plucks my heart
Answer me… If there is an unbroken favouritism
I will jump over the night and go to meet you now

I always keep my dazzling wish on file
I wound unfulfilled gaps and fill them up
I yearned for the limitless light
My anxiety longs for peace again and repeatedly anticipates

The moon dyed in deep crimson tears my sadness to pieces
The fragilely breaking phantom changes into determination
Tell me… If there is something after eternity
I don’t need anything
You are my only guide

Bright Stream

Standard

Lyrics: Mizuki Nana
Music: Yoshiki Eriko

1. Bright Stream

The you who is reflected in my eyes, what are you looking at?
Illuminating in the darkness I can’t wipe away, is a beam of light
Even my wounded heart returns to kindness
And a pure radiance unties everything

‘Don’t be afraid,
I am always by your side’
Your voice resounds in my sky

Pure white feathers search for tomorrow
They cross over many nights
Embracing the sadness I hid on my own
With just the number of stars (tears) that overflowed
I definitely believe I can become strong
Because you are here, I won’t cast my eyes down

The me who is reflected in your eyes, what is she thinking of?
In the first warmth I understood, anxiety struck
Before I knew it, the wish that disappeared time after time
Erased even the meaning of ‘honest’

‘I want to be here,
I want to be together forever’
I thought that if I spoke of it, we would lose it again

Pure white dreams seek for freedom
They compose an endless future
Breaking the clock that remains still
I want to convey it to you faster than to anyone else
Opening the door to the truth
I am here so I will protect you to the end

I want to see your smile more
When I realised, I laughed as well
You taught me
That the days we take for granted are so precious

Pure white feathers search for tomorrow
They cross over many nights
Embracing the sadness I hid on my own
With just the number of stars (tears) that overflowed
I definitely believe I can become strong
Because you are here, I won’t cast my eyes down
Let’s leap towards the place where it began
