04 Daichi no namida - "Tears of the Earth"
05 Namida no achira ni - "The the tears over there" (maybe in the sense of "to someone crying over there")
08 Toi kuni he - I believe in all of you - "To far away places" (lit. countries, but places is better here in English)

Thanks for the translations PN :)

Preorder your copy today! ;)

Cool. Perhaps I'll buy this. I'm not that big on that hippie eco leftist treehugging greenpeace crap, but a good rock album is a good rock album.

Only 9 tracks?

Looks like they forget the number before "~To the blue sky~T-EARTH Ver."  And unless "全9曲収録 " means something completely unrelated, they have 11 songs.

EDIT: Seems like I'm wrong yeah. 全9曲収録 means that all 9 songs have been recorded.
Title: Re: Toshi with T-EARTH debut album Earth Spirit
Post by: AsukaMiyu on July 21, 2008, 09:40:55 PM
Oh, no I think it means 9 songs (that's guess) because "~To the blue sky~T-EARTH Ver." is part of "earth in the dark'"s name ;)
Title: Re: Toshi with T-EARTH debut album Earth Spirit
Post by: Matthias on July 22, 2008, 08:16:47 AM
Well, 9 tracks aren't that much, but okay, for the little time they had (meeting at hide memorial till now) it's still not that bad, and I prefer an album with 9 great tracks (hope they will be great) to an album with 14 medicore ones. And who knows, perhaps there is an 20 - 30 minute epic song *g*

I really don't get this Masaya dude, first of all he forces Toshi to stop playing rock music and now he writes and produces a rock album for Toshi? There are lots of things which really don't add up about him, to say that I think it's slightly shady that he conducts himself like this is a putting it lightly.

I don't think he forced Toshi to do anything.. I mean Toshi is an adult (and was an adult when he left X) and he makes his own decisions.

For me it doesn't matter who wrote the music and lyrics as long as the music is good. :)

Post by: Beauty/Broken on August 08, 2008, 08:04:47 PM
Of course he didn't force Toshi - but he blackmailed him. He gave him the ultimatum that if Toshi wanted to sing his healing music, he had to give up the life of a rockstar in return.

Kind of ironic as that rockstar life gave Toshi the wealth in order to make heavy donations towards Masaya's label.

Please, this topic is made for talking about T-Earth new album, not about the Toshi / Masaya thing.
There's already a topic about Masaya here : http://www.x-freaks.com/forum/index.php?topic=2230.0

It is wholly relevant to the album, considering that he has written both music and lyrics for every song, not to mention produced it.

Post by: Maverick on August 08, 2008, 08:34:58 PM
Well, but what you said was something long before someone even could think of the T-Earth album and has in that sense not much to do with it. There might be reasons why it turned out how it is, but well, I have to agree with Lucs, that's something that rather belongs to the topic of Masaya ;)

And is that true ??
There is no sources where he/she found that... it is taken from the T-Earth cd ??? and anyway I agree with Lucs... it dosen't matter who write them... Theses songs are great and that's all...

Talk about simplifying, huh.

Is what true? Somehow I do not understand You here. I hope You are not suggesting that what is written on T-Earth CD is not a reliable source?

@Anna I think she was just asking if that information was taken from the CD... >_<

It's exactly what I was asking... Never tell that the information was wrong... I just wanted to know where it was taken from.

Good then. Seems I was confused by the word order and absence of questionmark.

yes, i received Earth Spirit just now

Post by: Matthias on August 14, 2008, 08:36:12 AM
Me too. Could only give it a quick listening, but what I heard sounds good (not that I didn't hear the songs in previews/samples *g*). What I hope for future albums (if there are any), that the other bandmembers can also contribute to the album and are not only a liveband.

Ahh, mine just arrived. Sounds really good.. I took a quick listening as well.

(English Lyrics)

I want to warm you aching heart with my love.
You’ve never let it leave however going astray.
Is it the reason why you’ve come to this planet?

Earth in the dark, something to light it up,
Something you have treasured in your heart
Earth in the dark, in the darkness
Love is what you hold in your hands now.

I want to protect you, gently holding you weary shoulders.
You are always on you path in earnest.
Does it prove you will go beyond everything?

Earth in the dark, to light up the darkness
Everybody has the blue sky inside.
Earth in the dark, to tear the darkness apart
Everybody has a burning heart.

Earth in the dark, the blue sky
Is always there in your heart.
Earth in the dark, the blue sky
Everybody always hold in the heart.

Deep down inside, your heart is aching so.
Let me hold you with the warmth from my heart.
What you've held tight in the hands of yours,
Even when you were lost again and again.
It's a proof that you lived,
It's a proof of your life and your being on this world.
Earth in the dark,
brightens it up over times.
It's the thing kept inside you, gently kept in your heart.
Earth in the dark,
What you are still holding tight in your arms
In the dark, it is love,
You are holding true love in the darkness.

Weary shoulders, I want my arms around.
Gently hold you and keep you safe and sounds.
All the time, dark and hard times.
You've stayed true to your heart.
It's a proof that you did.
A proof that you've got trough the hardets times in your life.
Earth in the dark,
Everyone has a blue sky in his hear,
That brightens and sparkles the darkness.
Earth in the sky,
Everyone has such passion inside,
Tears up dark in the night.
It is deep soul and passion in our hearts.

Earth in the dark,
There's a blue sky in our hearts.
Through hard times and good times,
Always holding so close.
Earth in the dark,
The blue sky in each one of our hearts.
In anyone's heart there's a blue sky,
Trough hard times and good times and forever.
Ah~
