exist†trace Fan Club Q&A - Pt.2 (HD)

[@aidenchia3663]

Haha Omi should trademark the phrase "Mental Concentration". Now I'll think of her everytime I hear that.

[@NightgazeE]

These Q&A things are very fun to watch! I hope this will happen again! And I just want to say I totally knew that Miko would say she wanted a rabbit :P

Rewatching old exist trace interviews

[@andreavidalsalazar2693]

I agree with Jyou, 長い夢の終わりに ("Nagai yume no owari ni") would be a excellent and different MV!! =)

[@M_Vockersbeige]

Such a great song... just a little too short!

[@nickhanson2680]

i realize now that i would looooove to see the guitar solo in Feel in a video *_* it's so beautiful!

[@M_Vockersbeige]

Voice definitely needs a video, it is the best song on the album by a mile!

[@lsevent]

I would like a video for Feel as well. It's one of my favorite songs on the album.

[@NightgazeE]

Oh and to answer Jyou's question I love all the songs one WORLD MAKER but if I had to choose I'd say both RAZE and SHOOTING STAR are tied for my favorite

[@Farthingale]

Well that just gave me a happiness overload. Wow! ^o^

[@Soifool]

I love all the songs but I'd have to pick imagination as my favorite. I imagine a cool, fun beach MV or something!

[@mechanicat23]

Feel is my favorite song on World Maker. I hope Exist Trace makes a video for it. I also hope the video shows the visual that Omi and Naoto envision it to be. So, to answer the question at the end... Feel has my vote.

[@ro_the_lion]

For me, the most powerful and cool tracks are Feel, Antique Doll and 長い夢の終わりに, but the most fun are Diamond, Shooting Star and Raze. I really like World Maker for driving (the whole album is good for driving, but especially the title track), it's got a strong groove and keeps me cheerful. Imagination is very interesting and different, but also very sexy. ^^ Kuchibiru is of course also very sexy! Basically, I love all the songs, and it gets better everytime I play the full album!

[@dimskies]

All the songs on WORLD MAKER are really good but I love Shooting Star!

[@LoonyMoons]

I'm dead from happiness now ;w;

[@LightningOrchard]

It's hard to pick one favorite track from WORLD MAKER, but the one that stood out most to me on the first listen was "Antique Doll." (Though I do hope that when they perform the song live they correct the "Let's play hide and seek with me" lyric to something grammatically correct. ^o^; I only say this because I otherwise LOVE the track. ♡) Mally's idea for a "Shooting Star" vid sounds great!

[@ro_the_lion]

I also love Antique Doll, hugely. And having thought about it, I don't think that line is actually ungrammatical. If you substitute another noun or noun phrase for "me", it seems fine ("Let's play hide and seek with miko", "Let's play hide and seek with my cousin", etc ), so I think the only reason the usage of "me" seems ungrammatical is that it's an uncommon construction in English. But not actually ungrammatical. :)

[@LightningOrchard]

***** Sorry I just now saw this comment! But, hmm, since "Let's" is a contraction for "let us" and "us" includes the speaker ("me") by default, I think it's, if not ungrammatical, at least redundant to say "Let's play hide and seek with me." By the same token, if there were only two speakers and one were to say to the other, "Let's play hide and seek with you," it's strange because "you" is included in the "us."

[@ro_the_lion]

LightningOrchard It's hard to talk about "Let's" as "let us" anymore, though. Most people wouldn't even use the apostrophe, even though it's historically correct, because the contraction is no longer seen as a contraction. As a result, I certainly couldn't expect foreign English users to think of it as encompassing the noun "us". I agree with you that, were there only two speakers, "with me" would be redundant. At the end of the day, though, most of these things are rhythmic devices. The "with me" isn't always used in the song, and when it is, it seems to be as a way of intensifying the intimacy between singer and listener. (Thanks for the interesting discussion, by the way! :) )

[@LightningOrchard]

***** Mm, yeah, maybe many people wouldn't, but many people are careless or just not good at writing, and write every plural noun as if it were a possessive, or blame their mistakes on AutoCorrect as if they were incapable of reading what they wrote before hitting "Send" or "Submit." So, I personally wouldn't use what they do as a standard for what is correct or even acceptable. I know many people would consider my viewpoint strict, but that is nevertheless my opinion. As far as non-native English speakers are concerned (and I'm technically not a native English speaker; my native language is Spanish but I learned English when I was little), in this particular case, "let's ~ with me" is a mistake common to many Japanese people learning English; I heard it many times during my years teaching English in Japan, along with "let's ~ing." Some of these erroneous constructions are actually in elementary and middle school English textbooks so I don't blame Japanese people for saying things like that, but it is unfortunate because students have to unlearn these bad habits if they want to pass the Center Test once they hit high school. (To say nothing of "if they want to use English well," but let's stick to small goals first. ^o^) I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on whether "let's ~ with me" is a mistake, but that's the context in which I view this little portion of "Antique Doll." Likewise, thanks for the discussion, and rock on! >_

[@Aizix_]

That would be VOICE or RAZE.
