fripSide Premium Live Infinite Synthesis～The Eve of Decade (footage from the upcoming Oct 8 concert at CLUB CITTA)
Infinite Recollections ~Geneon fripSide Festival 2010~ (clips from the 2010 concert, included on a special DVD. Must preorder to get this!)
The reason why they are delaying the release? There were flaws found in the sound recording while they were mastering the GENEON fripSide festival footage. It seems all the footage that they will be giving us will use the tracks from the CD, not the live. So we will be getting the fripSide Premium Live instead~!
SPEAKING OF LIVES….

Studio Coast
These are being promoted as “one man lives” aka only fripSide will be performing (not like the GENEON Festival thing with infinite synthesis). I’m really impressed by Studio Coast because, if I recall, that place holds over a thousand people! I think it’s possible to hold over 2000, actually.
Let’s end this with a pic of fripSide trending on Twitter:
fripSide gave an interview recently about appearing at a-nation’s Anison Generation music festival. I won’t translate the whole thing word for word, but here’s a quick summary.
The two are very happy to be performing this summer. They think that Anison Generation will be different than Animelo. Since this is the first year Anison Gene is being held, they don’t know what to expect. Nanjo thinks it’s important that fripSide’s lives match the same force and vigor that their songs have.
Sat stated that only my railgun is already said to have ‘a nostalgic melody’, and then Nanjolno admits that she’s the one who said that, haha. They know that fans really get into OMR so it seems like they know they can rely on this song to pump up the crowd.
Anyway, both of them would like people to come have fun in ‘the ultra orange lights’ of fripSide performances (how the audience becomes a sea of bright orange while fripSide’s on stage).
fripSide seems really excited to be performing on stage this summer!! I hope this special week of a-nation is filmed.
A new shiny to listen to came on Saturday. Yes, way to answer! Yay!!!
Listening to the instrumentals and full songs… yes, this single still feels like an ode to old fripSide.
way to answer
No lie that way to answer is my favorite part of this single. So glad you are in my life.
My favorite instrumental parts of the song are definitely the intro riff and the beginning of the 2nd verse.
I still do not hear what the lyrics claim to be in the song. I’m sitting here playing with the song trying to pick out any words and it’s simply impossible. Messing with pitch and speed, I *think* I’m hearing some of the words now, but maybe that’s just because I’m trying to believe they are there. Specifically “time out … hold your solid faith! shoot now! shout now!”
Not that this is important, haha. But it’s on my mind.
As far as lyrics go, these are my favorite of all the a-sides.
last fortune
Where are all my old comments so I can just copy and paste causeimlazy.
This part is short because I think I talked a lot about this song already in the past. I think I enjoy the instrumental more than the vocal version. But, I love the vocal melodies. The way the song flows from verse to chorus is so seamless, you could almost miss the switch. If you loved songs like praying over, split tears, and snow blind, you might like this one.
My favorite parts in the instrumental? The pre-choruses and the synths in the chorus. I also like the bridge before the guitar solo comes in.
I forgot how this song went since the short version in December, unlike way to answer. The chorus of way to answer was still fresh in my mind after not hearing for a while.
The rest of this post is pretty much why I think way to answer PV is keyboard-smash amazing. And it’s picture-heavy!
forgot to update with this a few days ago, sorry!
And sorry for getting the info wrong, oops! I first said it was a new KOTOKO song then I remembered KOTOKO isn’t a group, aha >_>;;
The song is called SHOOT!. Lyrics by KOTOKO and music by Satoshi Yaginuma
