deadman were amazing and i hate myself so much for listening to them late....
gotta say additional cause for sorrow is also my favorite, with 色別の亡い空虚 and 苦悩の中の耐え難い存在 following behind.

I have liked pretty much all of aie's bands, but deadman has managed to stay my favorite through it all. Man I miss them

Totally agree. The begininning of 'Moumoku...', when Mako utters the song title and the guitar kicks in *UNF*  gives me goosebumps to this day.

If only they knew how monumental they were to the movement out here. I remember when I first heard them, I really didn't get the 'Nagoya' sound. When I finally learned to appreciate what they were doing I went Nagoya and never looked back.

When'd they disband again, 2006? Earlier?

Man deadman is really amazing, probably my favorite out of all of aie's bands! great stuff. I need to listen to them more often since I rarely go back that far into my music roots :D

I was really emotionally invested in deadman back when they were around, but these days I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to them. It's like their music actually evolved since they broke up somehow, I can't explain it. "circus" was a clear favorite of mine back in early 00's (which is weird given how I'm more of a ballad/mellow music person), but now I have so many favorites that It's hard to pick them. I'll say, though, that "no alternative" is hands down one of the best VK albums ever. I can never get over how everything flows so beautifully, starting with "Moumoku..." and ending with "Arizuka", both easily being some of their best. Ugh, I liked them so much.

me and a friend of mine have a specific mood we just call "deadman." hahaha

I'm afraid my English is not that good to translate his tweet without changing the order of lines which i find important, but the meaning is something like:

 

"Screams
Vortex of cry
Singing a song
That can't be expressed in words
The corpse
Is still
Longing for people"

 

If someone can correct it please do.

i got a similar meaning, hotaru

i looked it up online and his usage of "shikibane" was interesting--its a state of death rather than just a corpse--a "body without a soul"

i have negative japanese abilities but the second mako tweets i turn into a fucking translation software. ww

my translation (taking a lot of liberties+based off hotaru's)

"shouting,

a vortex of shrieks

singing a song which can't be expressed in words

even so, the body without a soul longs for others"

hmmm, here's my interpretation. but don't expect me to be entirely correct.

 

"Screams

Vortex of cry

I want to sing a song

that can’t be expressed in words

Still,

I am a corpse

that longs for people"

 

@emmny that's really interesting about the word "shikabane"! i feel like japanese can be so deep and poetic with their usage of words.

mako does really cool wordplay--like how he frequently wrote karada with characters that meant corpse--like a living corpse (so lovely)

i haven't really looked through much of deadman's lyrics yet... >.< but i really love it when lyricists use wordplay! it gives the song so much meaning, though it can be a struggle for translators at times, haha.
