The Demos: Which would you make?

[zyoeru]

Haha, thanks. XD
I'm not too sure now if the verses sound similar actually, but I recognize the chorus.

[Shoujo Robot]

She should pull a Robert Pollard and release her demos (I'd like to hear the demos that led to making KZK). She had material for two albums before even recording her first, I guess she has lots of lovely tapes with her (unless she's been really lazy )

[zyoeru]

^ Yeah the demos to KSK tracks would be amazing.

I recently got into 出直すから (Denaosu kara). Did Ringo ever do anything else with this song? I think it's great stuff.

first time I heard that song I want to stab my ears because of that cutesy voice she does. I got used to it... I think it has a lot of potential.

Orgel is another one of those songs that grow on you.

I bet zyoeru's right, that she made Byoushou Public out of it. It's funny because the cutesiness of that Byoushou Public chorus together with Gibs were the only parts I didn't instantly like on Shouso Strip, because they were too J-poppy.

Orgel's special, probably her saddest sounding tune. There's nothing else in mood like it, but so many of her demos are like that... what else sounds like Juwaki no Naka, or the dreamy backing vocal ending to Don't You Think (demo Gibs)? Orgel's words might be interesting, about soap bubbles and jumping a river or something, I was going to try to translate the lyrics for vocabularly learning at one point. It's the perfect example of how a song made mainly out of major chords won't necessarily sound happy.

Haha, Denaosu Kara is my favourite of the demos.

post here if you ever get around to translating it

[so_cold]

^ I'd need a Japanese friend to help me... a lot! I already know I got that line wrong, nobody's jumping any rivers. I'm just elementary level Japanese armed with Rikaichan Firefox plugin for kanji, I'm no better than Google Translate . The commenters on that blog love the song though so it could be worth it.
