久し振りの友人

久し振りの友人 Gackt に会った。
知り合ったのは、10年以上前。
まともに会話するのは何年振りだっけ…。
Gackt は、musician。
Gacktの依頼で、彼のAlbumのRecording。
1曲 Drumを叩く。

Translation:

A Friend I Haven't Seen In a Long Time

(I) met Gackt, a friend I haven't seen in a while.
(We) got to know each other more than 10 years ago now.
How many years has it been since we've had a true conversation...
Gackt is a musician.
By Gackt's request, (I joined) his Album Recording.
Played the drums for one song.

共存共栄

GacktのAlbum Recording。
先日とは別の曲。
勿論、Drumを叩く。
自分の中に、PlayerとDirectorが共存する日々…。

Translation:

Co-existence and Co-prosperity

Gackt's Album Recording.
A different song from the other day.
Naturally, played the Drums.
Within myself, the Player and Director are coexisting every day...

はしご Vol.1

GacktのAlbum Recording。
勿論、Drumを叩く。
思いのほか、早くに録りあげた。
ライブでサポートをしているSpace Filters のRecording現場に顔を出す。
この Space Filters は9月に音源をリリースする。
そのうちの1曲は、かつてRecordingした俺のDrumが収録してある。

Hashigo Vol. 1 (Translator's note: Hashigo = Ladder literally but I don't think that's correct here... >.<)

Gackt's Album Recording.
Naturally, played the Drums.
Recording went quicker than expected.
Recording for SpaceFilters used as support in live performances turned up at the scene.
These SpaceFilters will be released as a sound source in September.
For the previously mentioned song, my pre-recorded Drum part will be included in the recording.
