EeL - people people [Full Album] (2001)

[@BoRaiCho4]

Thank you! I found EeL through Capsule's album Cutie Cinema Replay and was surprised that I could find very little else out there.

yeah, seeing that this album in particular had never been uploaded anywhere online was really weird! seems like EeL was releasing music very often during the 2000's, and yet around half of her discography has never been uploaded anywhere online. her stuff IS pretty niche, though!

EEL MENTIONED

i sure hope at least one of these songs from this album go randomly viral and then all of a sudden everyone listens to eeL!s music but not TOO viral... we wouldn!t want this masterpiece of an album to become "tiktok music"

Are they kinda singing in portuguese in "a pimavera"? It does sound like it haha Edit: they do! I'll quickly translate the lyrics. It seems there's some wonky spelling, but I believe the title being "a pimavera" instead of "a primavera" is so it could have the same number of syllables as in portuguese while spoken with japanese quirks and accent. A PIMAVERA What do you do during off-days? I watch television,.. Wash my clothes, clean my house... Read books... Go shopping... Write letters for my family... Chat with friends on the telephone... Oh, the spring (4x)

Furthermore, if I were to guess, the song seems to do some mimicry of those reading comprehension texts in language courses, when you're trying to learn a second or third language haha. At least that's what it reminds me of. It does sound very sweet though. I thought the only japanese songs in portuguese were in that weird sub genre of japanese B-country music.

how interesting! and yeah, it is spelt "pimavera" on both the back of the CD and in the lyrics booklet. track 7, "E simples" also seems to be in portugese!
