ok if ur wondering where im translating its the middle row of page 17.
-This is a question about the world of the lyrics but when you use so many different kinds of voices, does that mean there's a lot of different characters that represent each of them?
K: There is a lot. There's soft people, people that are trying to eat other people... many different kinds.
But I write the lyrics so that they are an inspiration to the song so it never goes off track. If I'm able to use the right voice that goes with the scene the lyrics sink into the song. If I write the lyrics without thinking about the song it would cause some irony at one point so I don't think that's a good idea.
-In the end of "VINUSHKA" there is a very beautiful harmony done by some sort of choir. Did you only dub yourself?
K: Yes, it's all me. When you listen to the album, you imagine how many people are singing right? But in reality there a lot more than what you're hearing or there might be voices where you didn't even notice. I did so many things.
-In the album there's "SA BIR" which is also used in the concerts and then a ten minute long "VINUSHKA". It seems like this albums starts at the climax. A song that long usually gets placed in the middle of the record but you guys placed it in the beginning. The this have to do with the lyrics?
K: When we choose the order of the songs, it really doesn't matter what order it goes in. But there was always a song that I wanted if we were to choose. I personally thought that the battle begins in the one second right after "SA BIR" finished playing. You fall as deep as you can with "SA BIR" and then you open up something new and what do you see? I only imagined "VINUSHKA". We put what we think of what's the core of the album right there. Only the people who can take that, who can climb over the mountain, can come along. I think that's the characteristic of "UROBOROS". It's not an album where you can just seep right into. Song wise, I was really able to bring out pretty much everything I have into "VINUSHKA". Speaking of song order, I've always wanted "INCONVENIENT IDEAL" at the end in my mind way before we've thought about it together. Everyone had a matching opinion for this so we were able to do it.
-I've felt a really mysterious fear when I listened to "VINUSHKA". But the emotion in this albums isn't just filled with evilness or hatred.
K: Yea. Of coarse each song has a message in it but not just that but aftertaste, a phrase stuck in your mind, a heaviness or pain but then a really soothing sensation should be felt after listening to all 13 tracks. I really wanted to focus on all that. I've been writing all the lyrics but I wanted to focus on the aftertaste. For example there's a bunch of CDs out there that have really heavy lyrics but you don't feel anything at all. But then there's really gentle songs that make you feel sad after you listen to it. I focused on that and how much I can leave my message into that person's mind. Because of that, there some songs that have lyrics that are in the middle of telling a story or some really hard to understand. Or there might be lyrics that you might be able to hear one word really clearly and then not hear anything else at all for the rest of the song. I've done that on purpose so that when you finish listening to the album you have a clearer image in your mind. In the lyrics, it's not just all hatred or evil but it's more of a world that you look through from the bottom. I think that the same sky would look and feel very different from a plain and someplace really low. DEG's Kyo wanted to describe the sky from a lower point of view. And the aftertaste. But in lyrics it might sound like it might be about anger or hopelessness but when you're done listening you don't feel any anxiety. It's not written in words but you've be left with images of strengh of hope. (eh that turned out weird)
