the guiding clouds seemed to have disappeared somewhere
The steady stars that burns and fall......flew off
Incomplete as i am
where should i be going
As if I'm searching for the lost fragments, until i can find you
the sepia theatre has not raised the curtains
the clown scatters flower
now the bell rings
the poem of traveling stars, i wonder has it reached you?
let's start
the story continuing from Adam and Eve
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico:
Commentary from Saga: This song was supposed to be in Gemini but it seemed that its position was taken away by 'I' lol. Quite an African-like song, or at least that's how Saga was imagining it to be. Saga also mentioned that he really wanted to play the guitar for this one (guitar solo is by Tora btw)
Random chat comments:
Saga: bass used was an acoustic bass
Shou: let's sing lalala lalala all together~!
2. the Arc
Composer: Saga
Can you hear me? The grievous chime and murmuring iron conifer tree
Selected by the Lord, on a dazzling afternoon, a girl suddenly heard the voice
Averting (her) eyes from (her) weakness of wanting a miracle
without being shone upon by the sun
The flag was raised, by a slender white pitiful hand
I just realized, that at the ends of the vow, there's the light i wished for
I believe in myself, (I'll) step on these roses, lilies, bloom in full (for me)
Why did you select me, even that lost voice, faded away, (she) blindly proceeded
She finally served, the ends to her promise, but she was simply thrown away
Chewing on the lips, even if (she) sees her homeland, the wet scenary goes far off [im imagining the wet part come from 'her' tears, but this's just my imagination]
(I) continued to call (but) can't hear your voice anymore
What's left of me, the end of the trial, there's the light (I) wished for
I believed in you, (I) clear out (my) ears, (I) believed in salvation
taken for granted, ah, an absurb answer
cut off the barrier, say it, say you still want to live, still want to live
tell me why
tell me why
tell me why
tell me your lies
I just realized, no matter what i'll definitely still call your name
I believe in myself, embraced by the flames, lilies, bloom in full (for me)
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico:
Commentary from Shou: Seems that Alice Nine has always been avoiding these kind of songs, but since Alice Nine has been together for some 7,8 years and has been challenging various stuff, maybe now they could deliver something like this. Shou also listened to the guitar and felt that it was really super cool, so much so that he could feel the pain when they played the solo.
And from Saga's blog, we all know he was thinking of Tora as the evil lord, Shou as the knight that defeats the lord, he himself summoning Hiroto, and Nao is some creature born/reincaration from Tora (Tora: isn't that just Piccolo [from Dragonball]) but seems like the users were saying Shou should be the evil lord instead...which i can somehow totally understand xD

Tora: This was fun to play
Saga: AliceJapan [X-Japan]
Shou: Take note of the lyrics too!
3. GALLOWS
Composer: Tora
Not dreaming of the tomorrow (I've) yet to see
(I'm) counting the scattered stardust
Realizing the light (i) couldn't grab hold of is stretching its hand to me
it wasn't enough just stepping out
(it) won't grant anymore wishes
Rather than waiting for the miracle, let time walk
(I'm) searching for the answer, as if scattering the sparks
the instant dream, has yet to deliver
the 1 second towards death, the 1 second of now too
is no big difference from blooming the flowers
well then, laugh at (what's called) destiny
from the bottom of the cobalt blue
the angel is blowing the trumpet
from the morning light where i felt no colors
remembering its brightness (I) ran off
the tragedy has yet to have its conclusion
rather than waiting for the script, let time gallop
when (i) realize it, i'm alone, even if (i'm) crying in (my) heart
don't forget, that i'm waiting for you
even if (I) know that i can't deliver (it) to you, even if (I'm) separated far from you
there is meaning in my resistance
Even if it's foam, i don't mind
the past that seems to see through the broken heart
destroy the present
(it) won't grant anymore wishes
Rather than waiting for the miracle, let time walk
(I'm) searching for the answer, as if scattering the sparks
the instant dream, has yet to deliver
the 1 second towards death, the 1 second of now too
is no big difference from blooming the flowers
well then, laugh at (what's called) destiny
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico
Commentary from Nao: To him it was one of the most catchy songs. Nao worked quite hard at the drums, and did quite a bit of arranging for the last part. It seemed that Okane-san [their producer] took some time to get the rhythm pattern for this song
Random chat comments:
Saga: This was unexpectedly hard to perform
Hiroto: These kind of songs are actually most difficult
4. 花霞
Composer: Hiroto
Looking like it'll disappear, the beautiful rose
going near (it), just viewing it, (I'm) sinking
the loosened red string
far away (it's) softly reeled in
if (I) accidentally touch it, (it'll) disappear
it feels like it won't come tomorrow anymore
laugh as if (I'm) singing, from the inside of (my) cage [for some reason, i can't get enough of this line => <=]
if i call out your name, (it's) far away
lies, will soon become poison
bring along the sweet dream
seeming to disappear, the conflicting light
desires a grain of darkness
(you) can still bring out a breath right
kill the kindness of the imitation
laugh as if (I'm) singing, from the inside of the cage
because I'll bring back your name
no one else can replace me doing this
because i'll be the one calling your name
join with the waning moon, don't disappear
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico:
Commentary from Saga: He could feel Hiroto's roots in this one. Usually, Hiroto's guitar is passionate, but recently his guitar seems to be kind of 'crying', like he's turning to a Soushoku-kei danshi [it's troublesome to explain so here: 草食系男子 ] Saga seems to be worried that Hiroto's getting tired of writing fast songs and is going to switch to writing only medium ballad songs lol.
Nao mentioned that Hiroto was asking him "Are there 2 Naos?" It seemed that Hiroto wanted twin drums for this song. So at around the B, D melody (and elsewhere? not sure) on the left and right sides, you might hear 2 drum sets.
Chorus is high, everyone was saying that. Hiroto said, Shou used to be have trouble hitting the high notes, though now he can probably do them easily. He said he wanted to see Shou singing with some struggling once more lol. Yup, Hiroto is Dou-S~[sadistic]
Random chat comments:
Tora: This is not Hana
Nao: Hana is really loved ne
Hiroto: The Shou before the solo...is God [i agree Pon...i totally agree...]
Saga: I don't have the courage to sing this in karaoke
Shou: My throat's fine, thank you!
5. ハロー、ワルード
Composer: Saga
Lyrics: Shou&Saga
In the night where something seems about to change
(is) writing words unknown to people and leaving
The words and sounds that grabs the depths of the heart
are planted by some great person
but they can't satisy this tiny body
(I've) always been restless
in the midst of the swirling Idle thoughts and noise
these words took on a trip
or could simply be returning
searching for the beat in your heart
people are always missing out various places
everyday we're passing time on the same boat
but now a strange atmosphere is lingering here
the wind is now attached to the present, the sound is now attached to the present
I can see that i'm now being drifted slowly (there)
Create a stir and scream the words
(I) shouted into the wind
bring in the irrationality
Thrust at the throat
let's see if the world changes
hope for a happy end
Hello, world
Hello, world
We just woke up
Let's head out to the streets
Let's head to the theatre to try connecting to someone
It's not like after it all ends someone will start rattling [talking]
No one will speak for your feelings
He says his reality
but it's not entering my head one bit
am i lacking common sense
have i separated from my comrades
words that are just pretty will soon gather rust with time
16 years ago, the letter that came via the [electric] wave
the letter that lamented on the boredom of the world that can be seen at a radial distance of 5 meters from there
taught me that just from 6 meters there is something ahead
The music that's like a form of contamination, is still the same now
just how you said it, like polishing a knife
in the daybreak where something seems about to change
even if today, i can't bring out my voice
even if the strength to play sounds is lost
just with (my) consciousness i can go anywhere
to meet your present and your brilliance
outside the mosquito net, (you're) just a bystander
if (you) live, is that fortune
if (you) die, is that misfortune
thrust at the throat
let's see if the world changes
(I) don't dislike a happy end
Hello, world
Hello, world
watch closely
your thoughts
your words
are surrounding the me that has turned to blood
to the whirl of sounds
to the whirl of sounds
to the whirl of sounds
bring everything of you along
(In the night where something seems about the change)
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico:
Commentary from Tora: (though in the end everyone just comment) Tora thought this song was really cool since he's never heard this kind of song. It was an interesting song so everyone wanted to try this out at the 'choosing-song meeting' whatever you call it lol. Though of course there was quite a bit of insecurity doing this song, like could Alice Nine do this? Well, Saga said he probably won't be nervous doing the talking part but it seems like he tends to rearrange the song everytime during rehearsal. Hiroto: It's different everytime!

Tora: Tora will be delivering the bass during the live

6. リニア
Composer: Hiroto
The melody we imagined
crossing the street lights, and even the rainbow
we forgot how to flap our wings
(but) we can always fly whenever we want to
one heart is enough, liberate it
blowing from the western sky, the wind became the wind chaser
the weather report today, was like it predicted, a clear day
"Isn't the scenary beyond the back boring?"
saying that, (we) kicked away the accelator
our world that flowed out
(we're) so fast that we could barely breath
the speed of our palpitation, is uncontrollable
Living, is better without burdens
Throw everything away, entrust them me
the impatient mouth, like it's stuffed up, launching a surprise kiss
if (you) forget even the way to walk
embrace (your) weakness, bring it along
The melody we imagined
crossing the street lights, and even the rainbow
we forgot how to flap our wings
(but) we can always fly whenever we want to
one heart is enough, liberate it
The mistletoe [kind of plant] are not there too, the wings are not resting
cos it's the night before, the battle of changing the world
our world that flowed out
(we're) so fast that we could barely breath
the speed of our palpitation, is uncontrollable
Living, is better without burdens
Have faith in the me who has faith in you
until the end of (this) life
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico
Commentary from ...[in the end everyone just talked about it together]: Shou felt that it's a very straightforward song, with a sprinting feel, very forward, like advancing forward, so i guess that's why the song's called linear. [meanwhile Saga was chatting: because of a certain foreign girl's existence (that Hiroto could write the song i think) (p.s. they were talking about the Blue Flame PV previously so...lol)] Shou: don't go around chatting on your own! Saga was saying that if you're not a pure person you can't write this song, and that's why he cannot write this kind of songs
Random chat comments [btw, it's really getting more and more random...xD]
Hiroto: Yeah, the bass is really good
Hiroto: During the live, the bass solo will be extended
Tora: It's now Kenya [Kenia vs Linia, in terms of writing]

7. Apocalypse [it's not the end]
Composer: Tora
The happy days that slipped off and fell
the WORDS that spilled from the mouth
Ears, mouth too, are stuffed up
can't stop the echo
the HEART is FAINT
Goodbye is, waiting for some door to be opened someday
The rain fell, as if carrying the world's grief
the wounds from the creaking knees, won't disappear
just by the thousand pains, it's proof
Living, disappearing, in conflict
your eschatology
(the) HEART is WITHERING
The battlefield, is where (you) receive bullets and death equally
i couldn't find, even the feeling of having held your hand
What do you get, from losing something?
In a cycle, in the midst of the end
i want to be here
just, that
i'll grab it, your hand
Goodbye is, waiting for some door to be opened someday
the fiction, the sadness, disappear
On the page of the end, the end will really come
engrave the name known as the beginning, to the epilogue that's inserted
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico
Commentary from Nao [but in the end everyone talks]: It was a song from quite a long time ago it seems. Tora was stuck at the first chorus for some time and couldn't really continue but with everyone's help it somehow became complete. Meanwhile Saga started a random chat on Nao's clothes...
Saga: Nao's jacket looks expensive
Saga: I wonder how much it is...maybe 500k?
Saga: Nao's jacket is like apocalypse
Shou: You can't look down on Nao's raincoat too

Saga: I'm Mamo-chan clique
Nao: SAILOR MOON?
Nao: Venus...
8. すべてへ
Composer: Saga
Since young, without loving (ourselves)
(We) averted (our) eyes from the warmth
Going around even though the wounds hurt
Sounds are overflowing from (our) fingertips
If this is a stage show where the plot has already been decided
look, (our) heart is here
let's go ahead, at our clumsy pace
From the speaker a love song flows
Discharging the nonexistent illusions in humor
Destroyed, resonated, that's fine too
Still loving everything
Though (we're) boisterous as if (we're) mad
somehow, (we) can't seem to hate you (and)
your colorful world
Irreplaceable things, things (we) want to protect
All the important things, so much that it hurts
But if I can embrace your voice
I don't need any songs
zero, ones, it's okay if we just add them up
Certainly convey them, touch and let's connect
Still loving everything
Even though you said it's uncertain
(We) can't seem to hate you (and)
your colorful world
Something that will never sway
(We'll) always be beside you
What Alice Nine mentioned in NicoNico
Commentary from Saga: It's a song that's born from the live atmosphere of beautiful name, and maybe also some influences from Shunkashuutou and Blue Planet. Now it seems that everyone can sing naturally to the beautiful name, shunkashuutou and blue planet, so he wanted to create a song that everyone can sing naturally to.

Shou: Tora came to Italy

Saga: shy shy~
Saga: It's a song influenced by blue planet and shunkashuutou
