-12 Lyrics and Music for Yamashita Hotaka

That's what I call a balanced group ^^

wow! thanks for the info..
i din know that a few of them are covers except for sotsugyo shashin...

they sure composed & wrote beautiful songs
I thought kiyoe wrote the songs too

Wow very comprehensive! thanks it'll provide my list..

I still don't have all their songs!

That's what I love about Ikimono Gakari, Top notch songwriting, and Kiyoe's voice is golden! very beautiful!

most band s in the world usually write their own songs (i am talking about REAL bands not those sick boy/girl bands) and i can see no different in IKI too....and i believe they will churn more exciting and interesting songs out....

two things a learned watching Top Runner

- Yamashita composes the baladas / Mizuho does the upbeat songs

- Yamashita writes a song in 30 minuntes / Mizuno keeps on working a song during 30 days...

Wow, Terrific info!

Go Mizuho!

too late for the post...yeah they do

seems like mizuno wrote songs better than hota-san
but it's doesn't change my respect to hotaka, because he makes ikimono music more unique......

personnaly, i prefer Hotaka's songs, they are deeper, and turn you inside out! lol
but both are good musicians and every single songs of them are soo special!
Ikimono's the best!!

to make it simpler...mizuno does most of the up beat songs while hotaka does most of the ballads...

i like mizuno's song , but without hotaka, we won't hear kiyoe's lower voice, and it will be a problem if she sing all mizuno's song in live performance ,its tired i think...

^yeah i agree...

I agree with you deathangel....a "real" band will write their own songs because for me every single lyrics has it own esthetic value ....I really admire any band that can produce their own songs...one of my fav J-band is Mr. Children because most of their songs are written by Sakurai (lead singer) ....one of the factor i love Ikimono because they also wrote their own songs and they don`t rely on other people to produce a good lyrics .....go go Ikimono....no matter what happen, i will always support ikimono gakari and i don`t think i can find any other band like ikimono gakari and Mr. Children...kekkee....

p/s- i`m too obsessed about them... it can`t be help...hehehe...

i`m too obsessed about them... it can`t be help

^no need to mention it...we're used to hear that a lot of times...haha.
