展開が多い曲なのでそのパートごとの色や、空気感、変わり目の緩急を
どのように表現するか試行錯誤した１曲です。
特にシンバルの音色とタッチはいつも以上に気をつけました。

・聴きどころ
先述の通り展開が多い曲ですが、それを１つのイメージにまとめあげたカオルさんの世界観、
さらにそれを基盤にリヨさんがポップスを通じて僕たち人間を再定義する
一編の作品として昇華した、まさに「コンパクト」を象徴している曲だと思います。

イントロ、アウトロの始まりは俺きっかけなので絶対にミスれないのだが、
ライブ時は想像を絶するプレッシャーに襲われ時折ミスる。
そういう時は笑ってごまかせば済むと思っている。

・聴きどころ
叙情的に突き刺すイントロのギターは、突如地球が重力を失い、
ありとあらゆるものが青き大空に飲み込まれていくっていうイメージで弾いてます。
青空が舞台のクウチュウ戦らしいロマンチックラブソングです。お楽しみあれ

Intro & Outro began because of me, so I never make a mistake, but I make a mistake when I am attacked by pressure beyond all imagination at live.
At that time, I think that I can laugh off.

- Point of Listening
Intro guitar like lyric piercing is suddenly losing the earth weight gradually, and I play like an image that all kinds of thing will be swallowed into the big blue sky.
This is a romantic love song likely the battle on the stage in the blue sky. Please enjoy it.

Translation / English

This Amore turns more vividly colorful the more it gets bigger.

*Listening point
It is a spectacular romantic number amore but, the MV overflows with another feeling of "Amore played by imprisoned KOOCHEWSEN" so please enjoy!

~Abashiri~
*Point of attention
The part in the original drama has to sacrifice a bit but considers the scene important.
Therefore during concerts, when the final stage approaches, it can fall into loss of consciousness.

The bigger it gets, the more colorful AMORE becomes!

- Listening Point
It is the magnificent romantic song, Amore, but please enjoy the
"Toraware KOOCHEWSEN's play of Amore" with the different taste in the music video as well!

~ Abashiri ~
- Abashiri's Comment
Sacrificing the role of a drummer, I have put extra care onto the scenery of the song.
So, even at the play of the live performance, when it gets to the last part, sometime I get unconscious.

・こだわりのポイント
イントロ、アウトロのギターの怪音です。
ゴーストの歌なので、オバケと遭遇した時に起こるような耳鳴りを大袈裟に表現しました。

・聴きどころ

This story is surely a tragedy, overflowing with inevitability and pity. However, I think it's the outro which comes welled up and explosive. I would love to hear some thoughts on that from you.

[Ghost Writer]

~Riyo~
*Point of attention
The allophone of guitar during intro and outro.
Because it's a song about ghost so the ear noises has been exaggerated like we are coming across a ghost.

*Listening point

Translation / English

This story may be the tragedy and full of the pathetic being compelled helplessly .
That outro bursts up a surge of the feeling in the story.
I'm happy with sharing my feeling somehow.

"Ghost Writer"

-Riyo-
The persistence point:
The intro and outro is dubious sound by guitar.
Since it is the song of ghost, I exaggeratedly expressed the buzzing which it happens as we meet spook.
The finest passage:

Original text

次から次へといろんな楽器が登場し、永久に終わらないように思えた間奏部のREC、
ベントラーのいろんな楽器祭り。
後に仮歌入れを控えていた僕は待ちくたびれ、
置いてあった進撃の巨人を全巻読み終えてしまいました。

ダサさを加速させるフレーズを選んでキーボードパートを作り込んでいきました。
二番に入った瞬間のピアノはそのフレーズのシリアスさが逆に間抜けで気に入ってます。

・聴きどころ

Translation / English

New instruments keep coming up, REC of the interlude part feels like it will never end, the instruments festival of Ventora.
I, who are tired of waiting to sing the provisional song, has read the whole series Shingeki no Kyojin in there.

~Kaoru~
*Point of attention
Choose a phase which accelerates and created a keyboard band.
I like the moment when piano entered in second part slowly in contrast with the seriousness of that phrase.

Translation / English

The various instruments appear one after another, the recording of the interlude seemed to never end, and Ventla's instrument festival.
I got tired of waiting for the test recording of my song part after that,
then finished reading all of the comics of Attack on Titan on the table.

~ Kaoru ~
- Kaoru's Comment
I have created the keyboard part as choosing the phrases that accelerate the lameness.
I like the piano of the second part of the song sound rather goofy as opposed to its seriousness of the phrase.

カオルに何か楽器を持たせると、
５分もあれば体得してしまうのではないかと密かに思っています…。

～アバシリ～
・こだわりのポイント
速いテンポでストレートな８ビートはあまり叩いたことが無かったので
アタックもしっかり出して、なおかつスピード感も失わないように意識して演奏しました。

・聴きどころ
曲名、歌詞、構成、背景全てがメタ的に絡んでいる怪作。
色々と憶測を巡らせながら聴いて楽しんでください。
間奏(1:08～)のベントラーカオル劇場も必聴です。

『作られた歌』

Translation / English

I secretly think that Kaoru comprehends as little as five minutes, once she plays an instrument…

～Abashiri～
・Points of fixation
I played emitting an attack clearly, and at the same time not to loose the sense of speed in mind, as I have not beat a drum in straight 8 beats at fast tempo.

・Points to listen to
Mysterious work that metallishness is entangled in all tune name, lyrics, composition and background.
Please listen and have fun imagining many things.
Theater of Bentler and Kaoru at the interlude (1:08-) is also a must listening.

"Created song"

Translation / English

If you ask Kaoru to hold an instrument, I secretly think she actually learns how to play it within 5 minutes...

~ Abashiri ~
- Her Comment
Because I haven't played much this speedy eight beat before, I have tried to maintain the speed as expressing my attack completely.

- Listening Point
The song title, the lyrics, the arrangement, and the background and all are all intertwined as meta-KOOCHEWSEN and became a mysterious song.
Enjoy the song with a lot of different imaginations.
The interlude of the Ventla Kaoru's play is a must listen. (at 1:08)

I personally think Kaoru learn it for 5 minutes when she get some instrument.

-Abashiri-
The persistence point:
I hadn't been dubbed straight 8 beat in quick tempo so much, so I consciously played with making the attack and not to loosing he speed.

The finest point:
It is dubious strange work which all of the song name, lyrics, structure, and background are involved high dimensionally.
Please enjoy listening with being lost in conjecture.
The interlude (1:08-) of stage of Ventlar Kaoru is must-listen.

色々言ってますがどの曲も「強いて言えば」程度で、
プレイヤーとしての自尊心を満たす「こだわり」は言うほどありません。この曲は特にそう。
ナッシングトゥセイ(「アモーレ」は例外的に結構あるが…)

・聴きどころ
消え入るように終わる本アルバムの終曲。
クロスフェードするように周囲の環境音が意識の中に入ってくるかと思います。
本作の主な聴きどころはアルバムの頭から大体この辺までの範囲かなと思います。

～ユミコ～
・こだわりのポイント
脱力することと、穏やかな気持ちでプレイすることかな。

Translation / English

Though it is said variously, each song is kinds of "daring to say", "specialty" is not much as being filled with pride as a player. Especially this song does not have.
Nothing to Say ("Amore" has quite a lot as an exception...)

- Point of Listening
The ending song like fading away of this album.
I think that the sound of environment around comes into consciousness like cross-fading.
This work's main point of listening seems from the head of the album to about this sphere.

~Yumiko~
- Point of Specialty
Pulling out might and playing comfortably.

Translation / English

Though I've said lots about it, every song is not unique enough for the players to be proud of themselves. This is especially true for this song. Except that Nothing to Say "Amore"has a lot of uniqueness...

Listening Point
The last song of this album that ends as though fading away.
Other living noises would cross-fade and enter your mind.
Reckon this album is worth listening from the top to here.

Yumiko
Uniqueness
Play while being calm and relaxed, perhaps.
