Hi. I know I said I was going to upload some new stuff "in the new year" but things happened and also shut up.
These are the two most voted for songs for me to release first, as fought over and then somehow decided by the Discord server, by a fairly significant amount of votes. I'll (probably) drop a few more of the highest voted ones until the album comes out in September.
I am not, as I am saying yet again, not going to upload these tracks to Spotify. Don't ask.
I originally coded this page using my iPad so that's why it probably looks better on a smaller device, sorry!! I really tried to make this page as friendly for as many devices as possible. If you need help listening to anything, let me know.
*If you are a Firewater superfan and have been waiting for this remix, please see the note at the bottom of the page. (I put it there in case you don't care)
秘密のビーチ (feat. Puchika)
This song beat out FIREWATER of all songs?!?! I guess you guys really want to hear a song about when I was proposed to. (It won only by about 30 votes or so)
Huge thank you to my lovely friend Puchika for lending me her vocals.
Lyrics (click/tap to open/close):
なにも言わなくても
伝わる想いがある
Just the way you look at me
まっすぐでやさしくて
風の中 “大事な話があるんだ”
もしかして？
秘密のビーチに two of us
誰もいない午後の静けさ
少し照れたその笑顔
なぜか today feels different
寄せて返す波が
胸の鼓動みたいで
ふと触れた fingertips
心に火をつけた
なにも言わなくても
伝わる想いがある
Just the way you look at me
まっすぐでやさしくて
風の中 “大事な話があるんだ”
もしかして？
笑いながら歩くけど
君の声が少し震えてた
ポケットに手を入れる
その仕草、ずっと覚えてる
夕焼けがふたりを
そっと包んでくれる
この瞬間が forever
だったらいいのに
瞳の奥に光る
言葉より深い truth
“Will you be mine?” の代わりに
全部が伝わってた
涙がこぼれるその前に
うん、わかってた
ありふれた毎日が
君となら special days
夢みたいだけど
これが real love right?
Nani mo iwanakute mo
Tsutawaru omoi ga aru
Just the way you look at me
Massugu de yasashikute
Kaze no naka “daiji na hanashi ga arun da”
Moshikashite?
Himitsu no bīchi ni two of us
Dare mo inai gogo no shizukesa
Sukoshi tereta sono egao
Nazeka today feels different
Yosete kaesu nami ga
Mune no kodō mitai de
Futo fureta fingertips
Kokoro ni hi o tsuketa
Nani mo iwanakute mo
Tsutawaru omoi ga aru
Just the way you look at me
Massugu de yasashikute
Kaze no naka “daiji na hanashi ga arun da”
Moshikashite?
Warainagara aruku kedo
Kimi no koe ga sukoshi furueteta
Poketto ni te o ireru
Sono shigusa, zutto oboeteru
Yūyake ga futari o
Sotto tsutsunde kureru
Kono shunkan ga forever
Dattara ii no ni
Hitomi no oku ni hikaru
Kotoba yori fukai truth
“Will you be mine?” no kawari ni
Zenbu ga tsutawatteta
Namida ga koboreru sono mae ni
Un, wakatteta
Arifureta mainichi ga
Kimi to nara special days
Yume mitai da kedo
Kore ga real love, right?
“Kore kara mo zutto issho ni”
Kimi no koe ga mune ni hibiku
Himitsu no bīchi de whisper softly
“Yes, forever”
We'll make it last
Even without saying anything
I can feel your feelings
Just the way you look at me
Straightforward and gentle
In the wind "I have something important to tell you"
Could it be?
On a secret beach, two of us
The silence of an empty afternoon
Your slightly embarrassed smile
For some reason today feels different
The lapping waves
feel like my heartbeat
Your sudden touch of fingertips
set my heart on fire
Even without saying anything
I can feel your feelings
Just the way you look at me
Straightforward and gentle
In the wind "I have something important to tell you"
Could it be?
We walked together laughing
but your voice was a little shaky
You put your hands in your pockets
I'll always remember that gesture
The sunset gently enveloped us
I wish this moment could last forever
A truth deeper than words shone in the depths of your eyes
Instead of "Will you be mine?"
I understood everything
Before the tears fell
Yes I knew
Ordinary days
With you they were special days
It felt like a dream but
Is this real love, right?
"We'll be together forever and ever"
Your voice resonated in my heart
On our secret beach I softly whispered "Yes forever"
We'll make it last
Firewater (feat. Sinister Growley) from Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
This song was ridiculously scary to remix, because it's arguably one of my "classics" and very beloved. I was asked many, many times over the years to do my own version, post-Capcom. I didn't want it to sound too similar to the original so I tried something a little different this time.
Huge thank you to my wonderful friend Sinister Growley for coming back to lend me his vocals, and the in-house Blizzard band for joining me and my guitar. :)
Original from Dead Rising 2 here in case you want to compare them.
Lyrics (click/tap to open/close):
静かな工場に生まれて
羊を守るため動いてた
夢を見たその時から
世界が変わり始めた
火花が胸を貫いて
自由を探し始めた
命令よりも強いもの
それが僕を動かした
サンダーウール 心が叫ぶ
運命に逆らって走る
リバウンドで砕かれて
ロックマンに敗れた夜
優しさと戦いの狭間で
僕はまだ迷っている
コードの波に沈みながら
ロボットエンザに囚われた
電流が音に変わるとき
僕は何者になる？
見えない空のその向こう
答えを探しにいくよ
サンダーウール 鼓動が走る
壊れてもまだ止まれない
リバウンドで倒れたけど
ロックマンに託す願い
夢を見る機械の心
誰かに届くのかな？
ウィリーの影に抗って
僕はここに生きている
サンダーウール 光の中へ
全てを越えて進むんだ
壊れた羽根でも飛べる
雷こそが僕の歌
Shizuka na koujou ni umarete
Hitsuji o mamoru tame ugoiteta
Yume o mita sono toki kara
Sekai ga kawari hajimeta
Hibana ga mune o tsuranuite
Jiyuu o sagashi hajimeta
Meirei yori mo tsuyoi mono
Sore ga boku o ugokashita
Sandaa Uuru kokoro ga sakebu
Unmei ni sakaratte hashiru
Ribaundo de kudakarete
Rokkuman ni yabureta yoru
Yasashisa to tatakai no hazama de
Boku wa mada mayotte iru
Koudo no nami ni shizuminagara
Robotto Enza ni torawareta
Denryuu ga oto ni kawaru toki
Boku wa nanimono ni naru?
Mienai sora no sono mukou
Kotae o sagashi ni iku yo
Sandaa Uuru kodou ga hashiru
Kowarete mo mada tomarenai
Ribaundo de taoreta kedo
Rokkuman ni takusu negai
Yume o miru kikai no kokoro
Dareka ni todoku no kana?
Uirii no kage ni aragatte
Boku wa koko ni ikite iru
Sandaa Uuru hikari no naka e
Subete o koete susumunda
Kowareta hane demo toberu
Kaminari koso ga boku no uta
Born in a quiet factory
Moving to protect the sheep
From the moment I dreamt
The world began to change
Sparks pierced my chest
I began searching for freedom
Something stronger than orders
That's what moved me
Thunder Wool, my heart cries out
Running against destiny
Shattered by the rebound
The night I fell to Rockman
Caught between kindness and battle
I still wander lost
Sinking beneath waves of code
Trapped by Roboenza
When electricity turns to sound
What will I become?
Beyond that unseen sky
I'll go searching for the answer
Thunder Wool, my heart races
Even broken, I cannot stop
Though knocked down by the rebound
My wish entrusted to Rockman
A machine heart that dreams
Will it reach someone?
Resisting Wily's shadow
I live here
Thunder Wool, into the light
I'll advance beyond all
Even with broken wings I can fly
Thunder is my song
*NOTE ABOUT THE FIREWATER REMIX: I feel this should be obvious but the original was recorded in 2011. He’s not screaming his lungs out like he did 15 years ago, and I wasn’t about to ask him to destroy his voice trying to recreate that era exactly.
