Hello readers, This will be the first non-symphonic/gothic/ethnic CD I will be translating. It's Komatsu Rina's Tsuikai Dimension! I really became a big fan of Komatsu Rina, ever since I started translating Symholic songs. This CD is godly! It reminds me of Fripside, which I listened to a lot in my earlier days!!! The 2000's feel of bishoujo games and anime... and very strong lyrics.
Haven't heard the crossfade yet? Please listen to it!
You can buy the CD via booth digitally! Click here! Links do not offer me a commission, I just want to support the artist haha.
The lyrics in these songs are so tragic, I love it. The music is great too, overall a very very very good cd. So the order in which I enjoyed the songs was 6=5>2>1>4>3. Yes, you did read it correctly, for once Paspal's songs aren't my favourite in the cd, but it doesn't mean I don't love his work for this CD!
I really love Burning Heart, the entire song is just so catchy! The lyrics are burning hot, especially the part of 「灼熱の渦にまみれて 溶けそうなほどに恋したら」, the emotion put in the singing is something I really love. I'm still sad that this song is the only one without instrumental, I really wanted to cover it.
I learned how it is to fall in love not so long ago and how it is to deal with emotional issues of wanting to see someone so badly but it is not possible. This is why song 5 hit me very hard too, I'd never want to part with the person I love or hide my feelings anymore. Song 5 is followed by song 2, which I also really like, The English at the beginning actually sounds great, I love it . The chorus is really nice in this song, I love how Paspal attempted to rhyme the -ion words. I especially like how 「必死に決められたシナリオを演じ続けた 超えられない – Dimension – 」sounds.
Then you have song 1. I listened to the Crossfade at the premiere, so this was the first song I heard of the CD that would blow my expectations out of the water. This song made me think of FripSide, which I really liked in the past. I never knew I missed listening to pop this much haha. but yes, this song is greatness :3. There is one thing that bothers me, that is that the song shifts off key during the second verse.
Song 4 is very nice too, the composition is very Paspal-y and I really like it, especially around 04:33, when the modulation takes place. However, I like the other songs a little better. Song 3 is a little too much towards techno/cyber in my opinion, which I don't really listen to normally, yet it's still a decent song. The lyrics are however still a very strong point of the song. It reminds me of the Vengel trilogy, becoming a god or a mechanical angel, but emotions are in the way of throwing away your humanity.
The tracklist of this CD is as follows:
