Ikimono gakari blue bird album cover series#

What I aim for is that blue cerulean sky.

The lyrics are quite interesting as well, for once, they sound a lot more poetic and structured once they are translated that your usual j-pop lyrics 'Vowing never to return once I have taken flight, The music on this is very interesting, as it stray away from the normal j-pop song, Yoshioka has a very distinctive tone of voice that differentiate itself from the slog of half-baked j-pop singers around there, and interesting mixture of violins, harmonicas and acoustic guitars with the more traditional Pop Rock sounds of drums (that for once, sounds like a real person is playing the drums and is not computer-generated by some hack on FruityLoops) and electric guitars.

Also, most of the animators of the previous opening also appear on this one, the main difference there is the KA work from legendary animators Tetsuya Nishio and Norio Matsumoto, altrough other interesting creators such as Gainax-breed Hirokazu Kojima, TsuruвЂ™s friend Hiroto Tanaka, who has such a talent for layouts that has been consistently through the episodes BorutoвЂ™s main В«Layout Animation DirectorВ» and series regular animator Seiko Asai. This song was the biggest song of their third studio album, it sold 90,000 copies and reached #3 on the japanese charts, an overall success for an already giant band at this point. Yoshioka decided to go solo, realising her first album Utairo on October 2018, Mizuno is an happy married man living peacefully, probably making use of his Sociology title, and so is Yamashita, Sociology title too and everything. They have an impressive CV, 5 consecutive #1 albums and 27 top ten hit singles on Japan, until they finally decided to go on a hiatus on 2017, to rest a little from all their overexposure, since they are one of the biggest bands on Japan, even having their own fan club Ikimonogatari Fan Class 1-2, they made music for sport evens, for anime, for movies, they won all kind of prizes and recognition from everywhere, they were big. They finally released their first indie album on Summer of 2003 and performed their first normal show on 2005 and they continued to publish indie music, thatвЂ™s until Epic Records signed them on 2007, with their first major record album, The Story Of A Town Where Cherry Blossoms Bloom, being released on March of 2007 to great results, sold 260,000 copies on Japan, reached #4 on the charts, they were a sucess from the beginning, even if they had to change their guitar-harmonica sound of their indie work for a more polished pop rock edge. Their manager was someone that had seen them once on a live venue. Their first show was a street show in front of a train station. The band during this hiatus period with their two main lyricists working hard on the university and Yoshioka having issues with her throat, they started to increase their fame on Japan, and around 2003, they reunited again. Then how they did this opening if they went on hiatus eight years before? The band went on hiatus on the year 2000. Also, their name was because they did В«Ikimono-gatariВ» duties on the school and thatвЂ™s where they meet, being on charge of their local schoolвЂ™s plants and animals when they were 6 years old.

They started doing Masayoshi YamazakiвЂ™s covers on the street, and so, after Yoshioka joining, they were two 16-year olds with their classmateвЂ™s little sister doing covers of One More Time, One More Chance on the street. Ikimono-gakari were founded on 1999 by Hotaka Yamashita and Yoshiki Mizuno, both of them being the main lyricists of the band, and the ones that play the instruments, while a third member was added latter on, Kiyoe Yoshioka, that is the girl who sings all of their songs. This is probably one of the most interesting bands iвЂ™m going to cover there.
