Love Psychedelico--Last smile

Love Psychedelico (愛的魔幻,簡稱Delico)是來自日本的兩人組樂團,兩人是在大學(青山學院大學)時參加同一個音樂社團,近而組團 自己錄製歌曲,在一次的電台活動中他們的歌曲受到廣大的聽中回應,也讓他們成為淘兒唱片旗下的藝人.首張專輯The Greatest Hits就賣了兩百萬張,女主唱Kumi將日語和英語自然地融入歌曲之中(Kumi小時候在美國的舊金山居住),據wiki的介紹,他們的歌詞不像一般日本流行歌手一樣把英文夾雜在日文歌詞中那樣突兀或是令人難以理解,相反地他們的英日歌詞流暢自然又不失日本音樂特有的味道,但仍不難發現他們的歌曲有民謠和藍調的影子,他們表示受到他們都受的西洋藝人beatles 和 Led Zeppelin影響而男團員Naoki指出他欣賞的歌手有美國知名民謠歌手Bod Dylan,而Kumi則是喜歡Sheryl Crow和Janis Joplin,從這也就不難理解他們的曲風除了日本音樂的元素外,更多了一些美國藍調和鄉村民謠的味道.發現這個團體,是在看Smap short films時被裡頭的背景音樂給吸引住,才發現該歌曲是Delico所演唱的last smile.雖然該團體已經出道很久(1997年組團,2001年發首張唱片),但是聽到好歌永遠不嫌晚.相信台灣有很多人早已經認識他們,聽過的朋友可以再次溫習一下,沒聽過的朋友可以跟我一樣享受發現好歌的那種喜悅和感覺. (ps. smap short films 是由smap成員演出的許多創意和無厘頭短片所集合而成的作品,裡頭有很多極短的影片令人發笑或是讓人覺得莫名其妙,有興趣的朋友可以去這裡看看)(左上圖來自love psychedlico 官網 以上內容部分摘譯自wikipedia )

Lyrics
Last smile
Hora,dakiaeru yorokobi wa sugisarishi
I never look back again
Mune no naka ude no naka kanashimi wa
kimi to melt away
Yume de aetatte hitori naitatte
kimi wa change your way hibikanai todokanai
Aimai na tenohira de odoru tango style
Bokunara mou...
Subete tokedashita noon eni naranai Monday

I wish if I could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea,but there's no reason

*chorus1
Unnmeisenn kara other way Sorekara ureiteru kazetomo get away
Itsudemo hanataretakutomo kimiha meno maede last smile
Tada mimamotteruyona kimino style
oh tawamure no toome na loser

*chorus2
Aitai kimochi ga go away Imademo nakitaku narunara any way
Itsuka wa tabidachitakutomo kimi ha mukougishi de last smile
Kureru omoide yo go away

Soutaisei kara wake up tada hitamuki na asueno step up
Ima shidai ni umareyuku image ha global I'm feeling you away
Eienn kara naru loser imadake ni todomaranai youna lover
Hateshinaku tsuzuku stage ha break down I'm gonna find another way
Sore o oiyatte boku wa hotto shite
Toki ha just as same in my dream you call my name
joke it like it you use to babe
Uso ni nuretatte tsumi ha kienai owannnai
it's so heavy

I wish if I could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea, but there's no reason

*chorus3
Seimeisenn kara other way sorekara ureiteru yume tomo get away
Itsudemo musubaretakutomo kimi wa meno mae de last smile
Tada tomadotteruyona kimi no style
oh itaike de toome na loser

*chorus4
Aitai kimochi ga go away Imademo nakitaku narunara any way
Itsuka ha tabidachitakutomo kimi ha mukougishi de last smile
Yureru omoide yo go away

I wish if I could see the light of heaven
I don't know the color of sea, but there's no reason
I wish if we are in the light of heaven
don't go away...
