The following are based on Tsuzuku's interpretations. According to him most of his songs are based on his experiences and are love songs yet a bit psychotic especially in the album Slivers.exe. Tsuzuku's lyrics are close to poetry too.


Sliver - It's a creature from Magic. A Gathering who, when alone, has weak defensive power, but in a group, it increases the power and defend all members. The lyrics were written combining that with the real facet of human personality, of becoming stronger for someone we like.

DISTANCE.exe - About the feeling how you can never feel happy when you have something unobtainable.

FACT: According to Meto "Kore wo izon to yobu nara" is the song where he put most emotion into drumming that he ended up crying and likes the fade out in the end. Tsuzuku said that the song is non-fiction so basically it's based again to one of his experiences. The song "Crazed Brain" is the most challenging song for Koichi in the album because of the bass lines. MiA's guitar solo for “Baby Crossing” is based on "Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyugeshiki", which I don't have any idea what it is, but if someone can tell me pls. let me know! MiA said that because of Tsuzuku with this song he was able to show a new side of himself which I definitely agreed upon because he never did that to any Toon Factory or MEJIBRAY song. According to Tsuzuku he must be a genius for making that composition, which again, I totally agree with;)

Black baccarat - It's a rose that is not black, yet it's red is unbelievable close to black. In the flower language Black baccarat means eternal love or eternal death or hatred. But to sum it up it's really hating what you loved most.

FACT: The song "Black baccarat" is on the album Emotional KARMA which talks about the same downside. Tsuzuku doesn't tell what song it is on the album because he wants people to find it. My guess, EIPHILIA. Personally for Koichi this song is what he likes best and if you like it too you both have the same musical taste.^^

*In the song Hakuraku the meaning of its beginning is linked to Sadisgate.

Itsuwari no Kamen/Jisatsu no Uta - About all the times Tsuzuku's been taught about things that matter and it's also a song about the worst time in his life.

Avalon - Based on the island where the legendary King Arthur went to sleep.

FACT: The shooting of the PV is down to the last minute according to Tsuzuku and about the artist picture for the AVALON look, he said he won't pose if it's not in front of a stained glass LOL but I think he still ate his words because instead of stained glass he still posed in front of candles ne?

D.E INCUBUS - "Man's nightmare." Derived from "Incubus" a demon, which is said to have sex with women while they sleep draining their energy.

DIE KUSSE - The german word for "Kisses." According to Tsuzuku it's like the sequel to "Emily" and it's about trying to move on to another love when one love ends.

Avalon - Refers to the place in the tale of King Arthur, where the sword Excalibur was forged, and he was taken to to heal his wounds after a battle.

Kokyuu - About expressing despair of missing a beloved person.

"Mors certa, hora incerta" from Karma -Gareki no Mantichoras- lyrics is a latin phrase for  “Death is certain, it’s hour is uncertain.” Mantichoras is translated as "Manticore" which is a Persian legendary creature.

My own interpretation for (based on the lyrics itself):

Crazed Brain - Two people separating. How much the other loves the other it can never change the way he lives his life.

Kore wo izon to yobu nara - Or in english "If this is what you call dependence." What happens to a person being left by someone they love and only their memories remain when they're gone.

Baby Crossing - Literally the "baby" inside a mother's womb thoughts when miscarriaged.

Karma -Gareki no Mantichoras- - This song is philosopical. How certain death is when there's life.

Eiphilia - According to the lyrics "Even if this is a mistake..." So I think this is about forbidden love. Two people love each other yet the other wants them to hurt each other and end their relationship. Like what I mentioned this is the song Tsuzuku was talking about which has the same downside like Black baccarat's lyrics. Hating someone you love.

  1. Just wanted to let you know that 'DIE KUSSE' is actually grammatically wrong. It should be 'Der Kuss' (The Kiss) or 'Die Küsse' (The Kisses) XD I love it that japanese bands use german phrases so often and almost always get them wrong.

    1. Thank you for correcting me:) I agree with you. Japanese bands used to have names derived from European terminologies.
