The musical talent in this band for this live EP is simply outstanding. Great song.
Support bassist Wakazaemon also participated in Marty Friedman's US tour. She is currently a member of the female musician project band "East of Eden."
Kanade (drums0 is an out of the world drummer. She was a child prodigy and is an absolute ultimate tier drummer.
Love Li-sa-X she's such the prodigy in guitars ❤
The level of musicianship in Japan is next level. You need to see the bassist Wakazaemon in East of Eden. How good is she? she tours with Marty Friedman. Hazuki & Lisa-X stellar as always.
Wow, Waka-zaemon as the supporter bassist😱
KOIAI (濃藍:Koi - Ai)
濃 (Koi) means “Deep” “Dark”
藍 (Ai) means ”Indigo”
KOIAI is one of the traditional colors of Japan.
Their 1st EP title is “Deep Indigo”
super group (hazuki, lisa x, kanade, wakazaemon) with a super song
Kanade, all day! ❤
This is my favourite Koiai song. It seems they've decided to do something novel (as far as I know) and blend super-technical prog-metal instrumental parts with pop-rock. The pop-rock vocals don't always work for me, but in this song they definitely do. Genius composition.
Your pronunciation seems good to me except you're adding an extra i at the end (no need to add the long e sound).
Japanese, like Spanish, pronounces each vowel the same every time (some subtle exceptions), and rhythmically each vowel gets a beat. So O long O Oh, I is as if a long E weeee, A as short a ah(ah-ha); (U is short u ewww, E is long A ayyyy(fonz) or eh(Canada).)
So Koiai (which has no W, so not like Kawai) is 4 syllables, “Co E ahh E” 🤘
@@timgove5337 I understand all of these things. The word you are comparing with is not "kawai" but "kawaii". Kawaii has an extra long e sound at the end which koiai does not have. Both words have four "mora" (four syllables or beats), but the "ai" in koiai is only two of them, whereas the "waii" in kawaii is three.
@@kicorse yes. That was mostly for Andrew’s sake tho 😉he was saying something like kowaii, which is closer to scary (kowai) than Indigo. Kowai and Kawai are 3. So I tried to sound out ko i a i for him, in americanese, co E ah E 🤷♂️ (oh, I see, I misspelled it in my previous comment. But Andrew probably wouldn’t have noticed. Oops)
@@timgove5337 ah okay, that's all good
Andrew, This group started out as Lisa -X. The guitarist are Lisa-X and Hazuki from Nemophila. She is in both currently. Kotono is the vocalist. She was in Ironbunny. Kanade is the drummer. They don't have an official bassist yet, but I understand the gal on bass here is Waka.
And Kanade of course is from both 'Muses' and 'Ear candy jazz factory', so she has fusion/jazz background (but 'Muses' also at first played some heavy tunes) Bass player is Wakazaemon, I've read she mostly slaps so not my favorite for the job then. Isn't there anybody in Japan that can play proper bass - for crying out loud? :/
I agree that this great track (it's both very interesting in its drama and quite a showcase of talents) should/could be longer but even as it is, it's quite an epic. Only minus is that the very first bars sound too much like 'Acid rain' by Liquid Tension Experiment.
First seen Waka(bassist) from Cottelee the cover band of Maximum the Hormone I believe. Pretty sure that's her if I'm not wrong.
@@marklar9156 cool that you noticed the LTE sound. I saw someone play them back to back, the LTE is practically slow/tame next to this one
Waka’s not a slapper. I’m a bassist, and don’t prefer slapping either. You might be thinking of Friedman’s previous bassist Kiyoshi, slap specialist. But she, and others (band maid, waka, Gacharic Spin/Doll$Boxx, many more) are full on bassists who just like that slappy sound🤷♂️
@@christopherjohnferrer3771 You're not wrong, that was her!
Li-sa-X's guitar work is unbearable!
