244 ENDLI-x SPECIAL!!!

Wednesday, April 9th 2008

Tsuyoshi Domoto started his solo project ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI back in 2005. Under the project name he endeavoured to express "love" in various forms.
And now, in 2008, he is moving on to pursue the theme of "love" further, this time in the light of his own self i.e. "real Tsuyoshi Domoto" or "I".

I　AND　AI (= "Love" in Japanese).

２４４ ENDLI-ｘ　is now taking off.

From　△ ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI △

Released on 2nd April, 2008

244 ENDLI-x /I AND Ai

Merging the worldview hitherto developed under the project ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI with the perspectives of Tsuyoshi Domoto's, the singer now dubs himself as "244 ENDLI-x" (read "Tsuyoshi Endlicks"). While maintaining the funkiness of E☆E he added some techno-ish flavour into his sound to break his own ground! As the album title suggests, the singer seeks to deliver his message of "I" and "ai (=love)".

244 ENDLI-x Comments on His Own Album Tracks!

1.△ Kuchihate △
'"Don't want to act...
Wish I were able to love others as I am..."
With these thoughts in mind I laid my fingers on the keyboard, and came this song. 
Fairly spontaneously.'

2.△ Let's Get FUNKASY !!! △
'This is my earnest effort - wrote this to deliver FUNK FANTASY to your heart.
Soundwise it's African hip hop.'

This is really wicked...'

3.△Shinkuna SEPPUN △
'Saying "I love you" like lip-sync does not really tell you my true love...'

4.△ Yellow △
'A new type of one-way love song... 
It's neither pink nor blue - it's pure heart and I decided to colour it yellow'.

5.△ Gotta find the way to go ! △
'Try and find out what your heart is trying to say while listening to this sound.'

6.△ Love is the key △
'A theme way too simple for anyone to dare to face. That's what it's like 
in this age. 
And that is exactly why I had to write it. Just listen to it casually.'

7.△ Help Me Help Me … △
'Someone was shouting "Help Me" in my heart. That's how this came about.'

8.△ Haru Namida △
'The theme here is "only once". The lyrics are about an elderly man who 
lost his wife.
This day happens only once...  "Love", "life", and "someone you cherish" - 
they are all here, only once. Never take anything, any moment for granted...
My message is we should think more seriously and deeply about all the love 
that surrounds us.'

9.△ SPACE kiss △
'That popular ringvoice character "Sankaku" - he took the advantage and now 
ended up singing on my album!!　
"It's a darn cool song both adults and kids can sing and dance to!!" says Sankaku.'

10.△ Silent love △
'The main act in the lyrics does not want to give up on romantic love, though 
he lost love of this modern world. 
Wrote this up as if I was kissing a girl naked in my bed.'

11.△ H/A/P/P/Y △
'It's probably about me. 
I'm like this when I fall for a girl. Just like that.'

12.△ arco iris △
'Rainbow is arco iris in Spanish. te amo = I love you.
I just kept shouting these two words along to the Mexican sound."

13.△ Ai get Boudou Sekai !!! △
'Start a "riot" in your heart!!'

<The phrase "choketakunai" is a Kansai dialect, which has various meanings including 
"Don't want to kid around", etc.>　
Kansai dialects are bound to have multiple nuances in one word, so if you want to know 
more, ask a Kansai person near you.'

14.△ Now's the time to change the world ! △
'I felt I had to do something and I couldn't take it in as it is - that's how this sound 
came about.'

15.△ Say Anything △
'A big river flowing in front of me. When you throw in your love it just keeps 
flowing calmly. 
The river never responds...
That is how hollow love can be, but I will keep throwing it in...

For this song I wrote the lyrics together with BONNIE PINK. She also did 
the backup vocals.
Enjoy the world created by 244 ENDLI-x + BONNIE PINK.'
