I don't know the details (I'm just a fan of the music! :D) But did Taiji have any writing contributions to the '92 album, was it a whole band thing or is Akira Takasaki the main or only songwriter in the band? Also, is this the case for all the lineups?

Thanks. :D

No, unfortunately not.

Quote from: "my LOUDNESS booklet"
Lyrics by Masaki Yamada & Jody Gray
Music by Akira Takasaki (except *)
* Music by Masayoshi Yamashita

:)

EDITED TO ADD:
Forgotten the rest. :lol: Because I don't know who has written what on other albums (only have the one of '92. :oops:).

"Smile and be happy - it could have become worse!"
So I smiled and was happy... and it became worse

Don't have time to look through all my booklets and double-check, but yeah, Akira writes almost all of the music.  The lyrics are usually credited to whoever was the vocalist at the time, or in some cases to "Loudness".

Cheers, both of you. :D

Music by Masayoshi Yamashita? Thats interesting considering he left the year before... What song is it?

Damn, now I was searching the whole booklet, while it was listed on the same page like the other stuff I posted here! :lol:

It's Everyone Lies. :)
Funny somehow - I don't really hear a difference. I mean it's not so obvious that exactly this song has been written by another guy, since it's matching so well there.

Thats really interesting, out of all the tracks i would of never guessed that one! :lol: I mean, the '92 album has a completely different sound and feel to Loudness' earlier work, and Everyone Lies kinda sounds like a "summery" of that lineup, at least to me that is... I'm trying to think of Masayoshi playing the funky bass solo part... :P
