Winning Song 04:44
Comes the morning Welcome to the brand new world I am the one who makes the world go spinning round Just woke up from long long nightmare Remember the story you heard in your childhood We're going to the place where we can be what we are Do what you really want to do 'Cause that's the way we want This is our winning song, oh yeah This is our biggest time, oh yeah Breathing, Can you see the life is Believing, Only when you do it Kicking, laughing, crying, stand up and shout That's we gonna do A new morning Welcome to the spinning world I'm feeling as high as your spinning kick Caught the message from whole big universe Synchronizing to the vibration of your body cells We're going to the place where they can be what they are Say what you really want to say 'Cause that's the way we want This is our winning song, oh yeah This is our youngest time, oh yeah Speeding, Can you see the life is Bleeding, Only a illusion Living, loving, running, look up and shout That's we gonna do

Karma Flower 03:52
When I was 13, and she was 14 Back then when we met War upon us about to break out east of the sun It didn't feel like the first time I can't recall where we began Just the sound of wind chimes Days of love under the cherry tree : I remember Days of fighting like a samurai : I remember Days of trial words of Jesus Christ : I remember And now I realize to what I meant to surrender It's all about here and now It's all about who we are It's all about loving you 'Cause you're in everything I do Then I was 14, and she was 15 That's the way that we grew up No excuses and no need to find the reason We couldn't see a tomorrow 'Cause the future was a distant haze I kissed for the first time Days of chasing wild tigers down : I remember Getting dizzy driving spaceships around : I remember Secret words from the Buddah's mouth : I remember And now I realize to what I meant to surrender It's all about here and now It's all about me and you You are the one

Lost in a space I think of you My thoughts float around in past and future Here on the ground my life was so blinded Feel nothing wrong, but nothing in place, nothing done Only vaguely I can remember Just like a terrible accident It's not quite like fall-in-love It's just the truth which I had to face Lost in a cloud I think of you Now nobody's going to ask me where or when or why You'd never thought of me so far from home Wonder what you see, what you hear, what you do Still clearly I can remember When you said it's gonna be alright Like living in a desert land We deadly need the place where we belong That's why I love you, girl That's why I love you, babe -You're always telling me that I am out of my mind That's why I love you, so That's why I love you, yeah -This is the only way for me to love you, girl That's why I love you, girl That's why I love you, yeah -Though I never beg you to understand this feeling That's why I love you, so That's why I love you, yeah -The only reason I can find to live is you You know that what I said is true I never regret what I did for you guitar solo That's why I love you, girl That's why I love you, babe -You are the only one who can save my soul That's why I love you, so That's why I love you, yeah -Though I'm not the kind of man who can talk about love That's why I love you, girl That's why I love you, yeah -And I never beg you to understand this feeling That's why I love you, so That's why I love you, yeah -The only reason I can find to live is you Oh yeah

Iron Hammer 03:29
Born in a small strange nation I always dreamed to get out Looking for a place where you're not judged by your dreams and by your doubts 10 years gone and I find out Man's mind's the same everywhere Building up the walls around you Too much for one to bear World of the weak: full of prejudice Build up the walls by yourseld Can't you break them all down, break them all down with this Iron Hammer Watching TV all day long, I was almost bored to death Music didn't move a lot in these 10 years that passed Can you call a man a rockstar if he's contend to be a fool It's like calling something wild that grew up in a zoo World of the fools: full of ignorance Chained by your own will Can't break yourself out, break yourself out with this Iron Hammer

Hey,Daring, Did you see the stars tonight, I saw them falling on us I couldn't believe my eyes when they really did This frozen world He tries to light the funeral fire It's so hopeless to try But in his eyes he's already a part of the wolrd How beautiful you are I thought I knew it well In the distance clearly I can see your face Embracing this world so tight It's too close to see through your eyes How beautiful this world is More than I never knew before In this moment I can finally realize Top of the world is we've been sitting on through all this game You think you see nothing and that is true It's just like the end of the world What you'll find here is a piece of broken old dream What you gonna do with it Is it enough to recognize our fate Oh, Daring, Did you hear the voice today, It said he's watching on us Guess how I felt when I knew that he's watching In this perfect world you try to bury your memories alive It's so futile attempt But deep inside you're already a part of the world How beautiful you are I guess I had to know In the song I've always believed the word Our ignorance could be so much as the love we can have How beautiful this world is Just like I never knew before Now I'm feeling like a speechless speaker There's so much to tell you that words just means nothing to me You think you see nothing and that is true Well it's just like the meaningless verse What you'll find here is a piece of broken old dream What you gonna do with it Is it enough for you to light your way ahead solo You might think you see nothing and that is true Well it's just like the end of the world What you'll find here is only a piece of broken dream So what you gonna do with it Is it enough for you to light your way ahead

Sitting on the street, watching people come and go Beautiful people in a cold summer Nobody seems to know what is above our heads And nobody seems to care what is below our feet The Tokyo sky is beggining to cry Nobody can't hear what it says Just tears wash the ground Walking in the city, on a cold morning The sky was always there, but something has changed The Tokyo sky is beggining to cry Nobody can't tell what it means We're all just powerless humans There's almost nothing that we can do No use in claiming who and what's to blame Just tears wash away our sins Can you hear me crying The skies of Tokyo The sea of India The forest of Europe How can they care for us when we're just careless passengers

Juku-Shiki 02:53
20 miles on a bicycle (それがJuku-Shiki) Jishu-Juku-Shiki And 15 minutes' walk (そうJuku-Shiki) Everything's there for you (そうJuku-Shiki) As I caliculated I'm sorry to say There's only a space for 20 people Clean up the room twice a week (それがJuku-Shiki) Jishu-Juku-Shiki If you hit the drum  (そうJuku-Shiki) The whole town is done As I caliculated I'm sorry to say There's only a room for 20, 30, 40 to die !!

New World 04:34
Now you've come here baby Be free to take your seat and relax, yeah Now that you've conquered the quest You are the one to take control Let's make some changes, girl Is that what brought you here, babe The whole world is waiting for you Let's get to the job and get that done Let's move on Let's move on Cause every path they take will lead here No matter what you say or whay you do every choice you'll make will be blessed Let's groove on Let's groove on We went through all fights and now we can be In the place we all gather in the end It's a NEW WORLD Ready to change yourself, babe It's time to drop all the thing you've got Now take all your cloths off Dress yourself up with light of your heart No need to worry about being alone They're all here and they're all there They're in the past and they're in the future So get at work right now and get that done Let's move on Let's move on Cause every lie you lied be real here No matter how far you crossed the line You're still a man who can cry or bleed Let's groove on Let's groove on We went all different ways and now we all know it It's the place we all gather in the end It's a NEW WORLD

I 05:21
鉛色の空の下 肌を刺す寒さの中 あの日君はやってきた 全てを知っていたかのように 誰よりそばにいながら 君を遠く感じてた 運命と知っていたかのように 僕は君を抱き寄せた 遠く遠く 見つめてる 強く光る そのまなざしで 君は見てる 僕の見るものを 僕は見てる 君だけを 遠く遠く 離れても 強く強く 呼び合うさ 僕らの中 秘めた奇跡が すべて越えて 今二人 あの日2人は見たのさ 結ばれゆく時間を 2人並び立っている 僕らはひとつの命 あの日2人は見たのさ 秘められたその奇跡を 2人いつも感じてたそれは 紛れも無い真実さ 遠く遠く 見つめてる 強い瞳 何も恐れず 秋の色の 髪をなびかせ 僕とともに 君はいる 強く結ぶ その唇で 何を語り 何を求めるの 君は見てる 僕の見るものを 僕は見てる 君だけを ソロ ずっとずっと 呼び合うさ どんなときも 離さない 僕ら2人 感じるものを 僕はきっと 信じるよ 遠く遠く 見つめてる 強く光る そのまなざしで 君は見てる 僕の見るものを 僕は見てる 君だけを

雨はいつのまにか 降り止んでいたのだろうか 眠ってしまっていた 読みかけた本の上 失っていた何かが よみがえる カコとミライが つながる This is our winning song ,oh yeah This is our biggest time, oh yeah 傷ついて ぶつかりあっても 傷つけて 立てなくなっても 幾度打ちのめされたとしても 信じ続けた僕らのハートを 高く誇ろう どのくらいの時間を 僕は眠っていたのだろう 気づけばあの頃と 何も変わらない風 忘れかけてた何かが よみがえる 大事なものはいつだって ここにある This is our winning song, oh yeah This is our youngest time,oh yeah 立ち止まって 忘れかけても 遠回りで 打ちひしがれても たとえあきらめかけたとしても 信じ続けた僕らのハートを 高く誇ろう Ohhoooooooooooooooooooooooooo 笑い This is our winning song ,oh yeah This is our biggest time, oh yeah 傷ついて ぶつかりあっても 傷つけて 立てなくなっても 幾度打ちのめされたとしても 信じ続けた僕らのハートを 高く誇ろう

about

In 2006, Imari Tones met a producer called Tak Yonemochi. He was a famous Rock Journalist and a guitarist of a Japanese band Air Pavilion. Tak Yonemochi and IMARi ToNES recorded 7 songs in Tokyo, and after that, Tak Yonemochi took the band to his good friend Sascha Paeth, a world renowned heavy metal producer. We recorded 3 songs with Sascha in Wolfsburg, Germany, including super catchy song "Karma Flower". We put those songs together and here is "Japanese Pop", a real hard rock record by a Japanese band. While Sascha did a world class job on 3 songs, Tak Yonemochi used his analogue recording equipment (Yes, it's TAPE.) to get a warm and punchy sound. Tone used Yonemochi's Bogner Fish Preamp to get his dream guitar sound. Result is the best sounding album of Imari Tones, with its best song selection. Not all songs here were actually new. We picked songs from our previous records and changed the lyrics into English language. All songs except Track9&10 are sung in English. This is the 1st Imari Tones' album made for international market.
