[quote][b]from what period does your previously unreleased track, liberty, come from?[/b]
y: we played it live in 1995. [i]i was thinking i wanted to make it a single, but i didn't get agreement from the staff at that time[/i], so it's out now (laughs). it was around the same time we were about to release tiny boat. tiny boat was released in january 1996, but it was not at a point where it was a musical factor so we postponed its release- it was really recorded in 1995. at the same time, i wanted to make liberty a single along with a song called future, but that wasn't released either. it's from that time period. [i]i thought the lyrics were really good and i've always wanted to release it. i had trouble because the songs were refused[/i]; i thought, 'what are we gonna put on the album?' i gradually felt shut in by the other unfamiliar new songs. regrettably, i eventually gave up on the songs. but now here's my chance! i thought. yes! and this time we can just play around, and not worry about the sound. so i put in a horn section, something untypical of our sound from any time period. yeah[/quote].

I wonder who the hell refused to release the original Liberty. I couldn't imagine it being either Sato or Manabe since they both looked like they enjoyed playing it on the Walkin' on the Spiral DVD.

I weep thinking that song will never be fully realized. Such a damn shame.

[quote="terra"]'kizuato' bores me. i think 'sono mirai wa ima' is beautiful, as well as 'good dreams' (the song).[/quote]

my friend was bored by black sheep as well as kizuato for a while. but i really like them both, because they're softer, sadder songs. and both those songs are awesome.

Sono Mirai Wa Ima is one of their best song on this century.

This page has a video where Sawao comments Turn Back too.

Sorry if its old news for you guys.

Terra Very cool Interview, I was Always curious about thier feelings on Turn back.

Also I agree with Terra, that the band now is simply being real with itself by not emotionally pushing an elephant up hill to make a album. In making there new music, the heart is there (haha) but now they are simply doing it at a pace and style all there own.

Also a lot of times artists put a lot of emotion into thier music and lyrics without people noticing. For example turn back (haha) and listen to the Passionate sutelties and complextites of these songs you might have forgot: Monster CC, Robotman, noboranai taiyou (the sun that will not rise) and (especially) FRONTIERS.
