TALKS ABOUT "GIRLS"
1.GIRLS AND BOYS (BLUR cover) This is a cover of a great hit song in ’94 by BLUR.
[I wanted to cover this as the original version made a floor very much exciting when it was on air in clubs. Both the lyric and the melody are the best party–tune. I believe that I was able to make an interesting song as an answer song from Girls to BLUR (like a BOYS).]
2. GROOVE IS IN THE HEART (Deee-Lite cover) This is a cover of a club classic announced by Deee-Lite in ’90.
[I wish to express my thanks to Mr.TOWA TEI as I was invited to his event "MOTIVATION" and also he joined in my release party. I like his songs for a long time and I made the cover with love and respect this time, knowing that this year is 20th anniversary of the debut of Deee-Lite.]
3. I SAW AN ANGEL [This is a track similar to an interlude, collecting fragments of an image. The feeling of Giorgio Moroder of this track is completely of color of Lee Jay Pow, the sound producer.]
4. BE STUPID
[This is a track having a feeling “Let’s break and get stupid!!”. This year’s theme of DIESEL, who took care of me in live shows in Paris and London last year, is “BE STUPID” as well. I was inspired from this. I like people who say “the time is dull, or in a bad mood”, to get high with this track.]
5.GIRLS NIGHT OUT (Japanese Lyrics) [This may be the first song in Japanese lyrics in my songs. This is designed to cheer up a girl friend with a heart broken, having a mood, “Let’s, only girls, get high!”.]
6. ROCK STAR
[I frankly sung a yearning to a rock star. An idea of this song occurred to me when I was in Paris. “Everybody wanna be a star” is a general theme to some extent. I am sure that all girls think like this.]
7. CUT, COPY & PASTE
“This is an interlude typed instrumental. The title has a feeling like this as I think that musicians making songs with a PC are in such a mood. “Cut and Copy and now Ready!”. This may be a word generally indicating the Japanese culture.]
8. MOONLIGHT
[This is a track in Japanese lyrics showing a weak aspect of a girl on me. This is a little bit beautified. An engineer (Mr. Morisaki, in Saidera Mastering) said, “you are best, like Madonna in the ol' days”:) Really?]
9. STUPID GIRLS, STUPID BOYS
[This is a house track finalizing the main part of this album. This is simply a happy feeling song. What I talks in the former part are the track names of the dance music affecting me.]
10. GIRLS AND BOYS (CUBISMO GRAFICO DIZZINESS MIX)
[From here are encores. Remixes by a fine guest artists. Mr.Chabe, alias CUBISMO GRAFICO, always taking care of me, is a benefactor in some way as he gave me an opportunity to be AMWE. And so I am very happy with this remix. There is a beautiful flow that a GIRL(AMWE) covers BOYS(Blur), which was remixed by another BOY(CUBISMO GRAFICO).]
11. MOONLIGHT (ELECTROCUTICA REMIX)
[I asked a creator unit, a topic in the n web, to make this remix. ELECTROCUTICA is introduced to me by my staff member and I felt that an interesting newcomer has showed up. Please don’t fail to check his moving which I hear are very popular in Nico-Nico Douga.]
12. ONLY SHALLOW (LEE HAY POW REMIX)
[This is a cover of My Bloody Valentine, a standard in my live. Originally this was made as a special novelty for the iTunes when the last album "I AM AMWE", was made, and so this is a more aggressive electro. I asked Lee Jay Pow to make the remix this time. Please listen to those for comparison if you have a chance. The original My Bloody Valentine is stylish too.]
