虽说哈日倾向初露端倪，高中时我听的日本流行音乐远没有戈大师听的那么多，当年《日之韵》,《今日音乐》和《当代歌坛》什么的我更没他那么多闲钱每期都买。听过但没有迷过Smap, Kinki Kids,Speed, Every little thing, 安室奈美惠，滨崎步，華原朋美，宇多田光，Nanase, Zard, 广末涼子等等等等，至于XJapan,Dir en gray, Mr.Children更是一张专辑都没有买过，可以很遗憾地说是“听音”经历中严重缺失(脱节)的一环，落得如今一提到日本流行音乐的種種，戈大师的鬼影就開始在眼前萦绕，挥之不散。

知道L'arc~en~Ciel(想不通这个单词里怎么会有"~"的符号，法文都是这样吗)这个团是在13期的日之韵上。其实大家都知道那一期选歌质量很高，口水歌也少。也让我同时听到了Mr.Children的《名もなき詩》，Hide的《Hurry go'round》Dir en Gray的《Cage》,坂本龙一的《Energy flow》等好歌。一开始觉得Hyde的那支《Pieces》开始唱的女生女气让我想起平井坚小田和正等人，可是到后来就越听越好听。此时上海音像很及时地引进了L'arc~en~Ciel中后期，也是才气最密集时期的两张《Ray》和《千禧之航》才让我真正独立地喜欢上了一支乐队。多少个夜里听着这张专辑就想，这个人嗓音这么拉风，还能写这么深沉的歌词，真是让我又嫉又爱。后来乐队在国内火起来，音像店里就出现了一些他们其他时期的盗版CDVCD什么的，死板的我就再没有追下去。那两盘磁带到了大学有一段时间还听，不过最后还是给弄丢了。

大三时不知从谁的FTP上下看到了Hyde这个名字，真的没有想到他还会出Solo Album。听后惊讶的同时还自以为是地加上如“恩,简直都有点儿像David Sylvian了”以证明自己耳朵仍然灵敏并且是很大度地把好像是要被J字开头的Vision/Hard/Pop Rock洪流从自己娱乐名单上卷走的彩虹乐队成员Hyde救起似的。这几天又翻出这张Roentagen对着歌词听了几遍，才觉得在某种程度上Hyde这张要比Sylvian这样的老油条态度更直率，歌词更透明，而且音乐更好听。就像那首《Evergreen》一样。
《Roentagen》上首首金曲，让人轻松从头听到尾。《White song》《OASIS 》 不论曲调还是歌词都自然地流向主题，即使加入了在流行乐里极容易产生变笨重空洞效果的Orchestra，这些歌还是那么Compact，那么... BTW,《Roentagen》还有个英语版，把日文歌词都换成了英文，听着比较没有神秘感。

后来发现这个小伙又出了两张，叫人想不通地结结实实地玩起Pop Metal，又听不出一点儿灵气，就是嘛，你怎么可能张张都惊艳。
尽管唱片封面越来越自恋越来越深沉。

伦琴的歌词：
UNEXPECTED
Lyrics: HYDE Music: HYDE

Unexpected
Promises woven

Unexpected
Through space and time the path unwinds
Leading me straight to you
Unexpected
Reaching across a moonlit square
We found each other’s hands
Unexpected
Under the blessing of the stars
The life poured into us
To meet is so unexpected

WHITE SONG
Lyrics: HYDE Music: HYDE

Breathe
Crisp and cleansing the winter air
I dream of a world in a peaceful sleep
Snow falling gracefully down
Rejoice in winter’s deep charm
I can’t wait
I can’t wait

Freeze
People gather around the fire
I feel all the warmth that the cold inspires
Frost covered tree tops are bright
Shimmering silver tonight
I can’t wait
I can’t wait

I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I’d be reset to face the seasons
Once again

Yes on and on falls the snow
Like diamonds from the sky

Kowareta kokoro he furisosoi da nara
Haruka na kisetsu mo watatte yukeru!

I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I’d be reset to face the seasons
Once again

WHITE SONG
作詞: HYDE 作曲: HYDE

Breathe
Crisp and cleansing the winter air
I dream of a world in a peaceful sleep
Snow falling gracefully down
Rejoice in winter’s deep charm
I can’t wait
I can’t wait

Freeze
People gather around the fire
I feel all the warmth that the cold inspires
Frost covered tree tops are bright
Shimmering silver tonight
I can’t wait
I can’t wait

I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I’d be reset to face the seasons
Once again

Yes on and on falls the snow
Like diamonds from the sky

壊れた心へ降り注いだなら
遥かな季節も渡って行ける!

I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I’d be reset to face the seasons
Once again




OASIS
作詞: HYDE 作曲: HYDE

This desert road’s forever winding
It saps your strength - it has no exit
The drying wind
The burning sun
I’m tossing the burnt out engine aside

何も無い世界で
何処へ行けばいいのか?
強い眩暈
蛇の毒
It’s bringing me down

My fever’s getting high
踊る死神　all around and around me
月と太陽は　it’s a regular rat race, yeah
手招く　oasis on the distant horizon
蜃気楼かどうか?
I’m feeling dizzy
I’m mesmerized

As I light my last cigarette
Diving my fate
あの場所へ
行くべきか?
Or turn away?

答えもない
My fever’s getting high
踊る死神　all around and around me
月と太陽は　it’s a regular rat race, yeah
手招く　oasis on the distant horizon
蜃気楼かどうか?
I’m feeling dizzy
I’m mesmerized

眩暈に抱かれ　all around and around me
破壊と創造が　it’s a regular rat race, yeah
手招く　oasis on the distant horizon
蜃気楼かどうか?
I’m feeling dizzy
I’m getting mesmerized


A DROP OF COLOUR
Lyrics: HYDE Music: HYDE

Confusion rules this shifting age
And uproar fills the town
My thoughts of you are drowning in the noise
How could you know?
Why should you know me?

You gently nourish my dry skin
A drop of colour saves me from
The fate I’m facing everyday
A single bloom piercing the snowdrift

How softly, the springtime breezes sing
How deeply, the distant mountains breathe
There are so many things to show to you

Oh why does hate bring forth more hate?
A long abandoned fruit
Is hastening the process of decay
This country’s starved, it’s void of feeling

How softly, the springtime breezes sing
How deeply, the distant mountains breathe
There are so many things to show to you

How softly, the springtime breezes sing
How deeply, the distant mountains breathe
There are so many things to show to you
One of these days


SHALLOW SLEEP
作詞: HYDE 作曲: HYDE

I just saw you
遠い部屋で君に会ったよ
会話のひとつも思い出せないけど

そっと手をのばし
ふれてく瞬間
また君は何処かへ消えた

※浅い眠り淡く揺られ
あの日のように無邪気な君が
両手にあふれる安息を優しく奏で
そばにいる夢を見た※

I just saw you
感覚だけ木霊してる
不思議なくらいに気配を感じて

窓の向こう風に吹かれ
切り取られた見慣れた街へ
駆け出して行く想いは何処かで君に
会えるような予感がして

I see you-until I wake from shallow sleep

そっと目を開けて
辺りを眺めても
風景画は　There is no colour
A colourless landscape
(※くり返し)
君の夢を見た

NEW DAYS DAWN
Lyrics: HYDE Music: HYDE

Do you really know the truth?
It only has one face
Even if you die - you’ve no clue
That man standing by your side
Perhaps he knows the truth
But it may not exist at all

Why pray to the light
When darkness conceives it

You’re surrounded by deceit
It has so many sides
Yet you turn your back on that fact
Rooted deep in history
A clever web of lies
No one gets away - no one tries

Why pray to the light
When darkness conceives it

New days dawn - let’s start the game
Worship the winner
So come on - let’s start the game
Your turn awaits you

Say, what’s your choice
The die is cast
No going back now
What’s your choice
The die is cast
Fake a ｢God bless you｣

New days dawn - let’s start the game
Worship the winner
So come on - let’s start the game
Your turn awaits you

ANGEL’S TALE
作詞: HYDE 作曲: HYDE

胸の奥閉じ込めた
遠い日の大切な Angel’s tale

永遠の恋をした
ため息も鮮やかな想いを…

息を止めて見とれていた
溢れるような輝き

あの降り注ぐ雪のヴェール
その向こうに貴方を見た

真っ白な街並みに
舞い降りた天使のような笑顔

もし叶うなら秘めた想い
うちあけていたでしょう

なぜこの腕は羽根じゃない?
貴方をただ見上げるだけ

あぁ、こんな降り注ぐ雪の日は
熱く灯る切ないシークレット

胸の奥閉じ込めた
遠い日の大切な
Angel’s tale

THE CAPE OF STORMS
Lyrics: HYDE Music: HYDE

So where do I sail?
A ship losing control
My cries swallowed up, lost in the raging sea

So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside

You’ll never notice
The colour of sin
Just as the storm clouds close in
It’s dark

Here in the shadows
I am pursued
Until the ends of the earth
Embraced

The ghost ship wanders far
For there is no guiding star
And this treasure has no meaning anymore

So where do I sail?
A ship losing control
My cries swallowed up, lost in the raging sea

So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside

You know completely
The taste of sin
Melting sweet in your mouth
Like chocolate

A moment of pleasure
You are fulfilled
But every dream has its time
To die

The ghost ship wanders far
For there is no guiding star
And this treasure has no meaning anymore

Will this be my fate?

So where do I sail?
A ship losing control
My cries swallowed up, lost in the raging sea

So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside


SECRET LETTERS
作詞: HYDE 作曲: HYDE

小さな庭へと
壁を飛び越え
鳥たちが寄り添って
その歌声を聴かす

息を密めて
外を見つめる
想いには羽根がある
この部屋からあの空へ

はなやぐ街並み
まぶしい広場へ
心は羽ばたく

許されぬまま
途絶えた静寂
書き溜めた宛の無い
この手紙を置いて行くよ

何処まで遠くへ
離れて行こうと
心は奪えない

今日は列車に揺られ
去りゆく時を見ていた

遥かな青空
遥かなあなたを
心は忘れない

I remember, remember you
I remember, still close to you
No need to fear the distance here
