Everything Λucifer / Aucifer / Lucifer / リュシフェル

ABC’s second single “Black Cherry” has won a poll for the song with “lyrics that are too sexy.”

From tokyohive (see link for the full top 10):

Mobile site JOYSOUND recently conducted a poll asking its users what song they thought contained lyrics that are too sexy.

Coming in first place is Acid Black Cherry’s “Black Cherry“, thanks to its  provocative lyrics expressing a woman’s desires. Voters commented, “When I heard sexy, this was the only song I could think of. Or rather… it’s completely erotic!” and “From a woman’s point of view, I can really sympathize with the lyrics. It’s a very painful song.”

If you take a look at the lyrics, it’s not all that difficult to see just why it won first place. Here’s a selection of an English translation, courtesy of JpopAsia:

Don’t stop, kiss me! I can’t be apart from you…
Don’t stop, kiss me! But, I can’t forgive you…
Ah~ Come inside me!
Black Cherry… make love to me, give yourself to me
Leave your seed inside of me!
It’s all right if you don’t love me… since I don’t love you
Make me wretched like this!
Black Cherry, give it to me…
Black Cherry, give me more…

Yasu sure didn’t bother much with metaphors in that one!

Hey, this is Henkka. Long time no see (almost 4 months to be exact!). First up, I ask that you read some important news related to the site.

It’s been a little quiet on Silent Melody lately. Me and GN-0015 are both busy with our lives and/or other things and as such, the focus of the site has switched from us announcing every little Aucifer-related detail (dates of NicoNico live chats and such) to just informing you of the bigger news (new releases, live show announcements, etc). Hope you understand. It’s for our own sanity!

I realize that a lot of the people reading this blog are especially big fans of Makoto, and so I should remind you: if you want to know all about the latest goings-on with Makoto, remember to regularly check out the Makoto Facebook group for news on him — including lots of stuff that never gets posted here! And for all you Tricksters, the best places to stay updated on them are the official †яi￠к Facebook page as well as the WE Love †яi￠к group.

In other site-related news, we now have a twitter account. Please do follow us on twitter to stay updated on new posts on the site as well as quick bits of Aucifer news: @silentmelody915.

Now then, on to †яi￠к news. They’ve announced both a mini-concert in Thailand as well as a brief tour of Japan. Details are as follows.

†яi￠к’s drummer, Kei Kashiyama, has fallen ill and will not be joining the band’s Tohoku Earthquake Charity Tour. He will be replaced by Aya Kondo (pictured below), the drummer of everset, another band that will take part in the tour.

Now… is it just me, or the guy really looks like Towa? XD Anyway, get well soon Kei, and good luck to the band on their tour!!

Makoto has resumed answering fan questions again. However, due to me being busy with other stuff lately, this is the last Q&A batch I’ll be doing. Do remember to follow Makoto on twitter, he really gets a kick out of it when he hits new follower milestones. Hope you had fun reading these!

What do you think is the color best suited for girls’ “lucky underwear”?
Datenshi RED!!

By the way, it seems that: “The one thing Makoto Koshinaka lacks is tolerance. On the other hand, something he might be better off getting rid of is his pervertedness.” http://shindanmaker.com/29370… Any comment on this? (lol) (Note: shindanmaker.com is a site with quizzes where you enter a name (usually your own) and get “diagnosed”)
Dakishimeru hoka ni nani ga dekirun darou? (“What else could I do except embrace you?“)

In that case, make your next fan meeting a hug event! That way everyone will definitely decide to come!?
Announcement! I’ll hug everyone who comes to the fan meeting!!! If that’ll make everyone even a little bit happier…!

Seriously? If that’s so, then it’ll be my first attended fan meeting…
Don’t touch me in any strange places～! Chu!!!

Question! Do you have to be in the fan club to be able to get a hug!?
No you do not.

Seriously! Is it true you’ll hug everyone who comes to the fan meeting in May?? Even guys～!?
Yes!! Hug me quickly!!

I want to attend the fan meeting! Is it okay even for a 45-year-old auntie like me????
Hug me, please.

No, you hug me, please.
Would you like that warmed up? (said in the voice of a convenience store clerk)

It’s really too bad I can’t go to the fan meeting this time, but I’m always cheering you on! The hugging thing you’re doing this time, will you make it standard practice at future events, too? Please do.
I’ll consider it!

The atmosphere at that restaurant seems really lovely＾＾* …I’ll do my best to come. I can’t help but be nervous; I’m really troubled about what to wear for the event (lol)
I feel like I should apologize…

After Makoto tweeted that he’s writing lyrics:

Please do your best!! Lyrics that bring to mind the Spring time would be nice♪ The sakura seem to be blooming already (^-^)
They’re dark, not at all Spring-like lyrics. Ihihihi.

Question! Where do you usually write lyrics? Do you have a favorite place or something??
On top of the bloodstained chopping board of my mansion.

In response to Makoto (rather cryptically) constantly tweeting simply: “Adult time“

What does one do during “adult time”?!
Fade into the dusk.

Adult time? Does that mean you’re kissing your mirror image again?! (´ε｀*)
Ah crap, busted!

What are you really doing? Please tell us!
Meditating, having delusions, daydreaming.

My sexy beam won’t come out.
Remember to wash your nipples.

What’s the best way to go about washing them?
Wash them while gently stroking them with your fingertips in order to not hurt them.

After Makoto tweeted the following:

• Ramen is my lover?!….
• Someone become my girlfriend please.
• Sorry, I forgot I already had a wife by the name of Twitter. (sweatdrop)
• Someone please heal me with your tweet.

Makossan, are you feeling lonely…? (>_<)
Yes, considerably.

“Sabishii yoru wa kirai da～” ＠ Tsunku (Note: vocalist of Sharan Q. See following link.)
You have the lyrics wrong! It’s “gomen da～“!!

What’s your taste in women??
I like the gentle type.

And what about men? (^O^)
Odagiri Joe!!

A cute young lady who’s like a pudding, or a pudding that’s like a cute young lady — which would you rather eat? (lol)
Both!

Makoto:

• Sorry to be so sudden, but… I’m getting married!
• Actually… it’s an alien I’m getting married to!
• Actually, I’m… a woman!

April Fools, right? (lol)
It seems I’ve been found out……

The person I was interested in started going out with my friend. Should I give up…?
Climb atop a telephone pole and watch them from up there.

Makoto!! My TV has been going on and off on its own for like 10 times already, it’s really scary (ノд<。)゜。 Even though I have zero belief in the supernatural! In any case, for now I’m going to blast “FLAIR” on loud volume and clean up my room!!!
Sorry! I just had an out-of-body experience now and played a little prank on you. (lol)

Yuki recently went to Phuket, Thailand where he — among other things — met with Phuket’s mayor and played at a charity event on the 10th. Here’s a video from the show.

Another clip with Yuki helping out on a cover of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life.”

Yuki’s tweet in English after the event:

Thank you to all my thai fans for your big support. The charity event finished safely. I’m happy to be here to play guitar for u guys.
