Acid Black Cherry will be releasing his 14th single with the title CRISIS on December 21st, 2011.
This will be the fourth single from his 5-consecutive-monthly singles plan (one single per month for five months).
Along the line, "This love is frozen, sad tears color", CRISIS is slated as an intense, painful rock song.
The recreation track this time will be a 1986 hit, BELIEVE from the singer Misato Watanabe.
This song will be specially arranged by its composer, Tetsuya Komuro himself.
Music & Lyrics by Yasunori Hayashi
Translated by Jin Murdervoice
Shangri-La, revive the utopia of light and life
Shangri-La shines, to the island where wind of miracles blows to
Sorrow which despaired, is still playing with the God of death
Lost sight of the meaning to live, and cried "I just want to die"
Even if those beloved were taken, even if hopes or dreams were broken
Even so, you are living now. Do you understand?
Shangri-La, walk on, you mustn't fear the pain
Shangri-La, can you hear? You mustn't run away from the pain
I realized, Shangri-La, it's not to get used to the pain
What’s important, Shangri-La, is to not forget that wound
A light which is too young, disappears at the touch of the fingertips
Shine with all their strength, and cried "I still want to live"
The world cannot be changed by singing. The world cannot be saved by singing.
But if you will smile, I want to sing.
Shangri-La, I don't need it, temporary pity or hypocrisy
Shangri-La, close your eyes, wishes are in the sky, love is in our hands
Shangri-La, embrace it, to sing of the nature with the birds
Shangri-La, be by my side, to the morning which dyed the sky blue
Shangri-La, revive the utopia of light and life
Shangri-La shines, to the island where wind of miracles blow to
Dance sky high, Shangri-La, now is precisely the time to become one
Ride on the wind, Shangri-La, we aren't so alone
If I take in your hand, now and here will become Shangri-La
Acid Black Cherry “シャングリラ (Shangri-la).”
This song released on October 19.
This song covertly means support of the revival from the Tohoku Earthquake.
For example, this lyrics...
奇跡の風が吹く島へ
kiseki no kaze ga fuku shima he
憐れみや偽善
awaremi ya gizen
愛は手に
ai wa teni
In this way, there are concealed the name of the stricken area.
The background of title logo, the looks like paints are split.
Its shape is the Japanese archipelago.
He doesn’t say anything about it.
Therefore, he is cool!
This lyrics are so positive.
There are many people with smile in this PV.
I am cheered by this song.
Since 3/11, a lot of musicians made and sang a song for the Tohoku Earthquake.
I am most impressed by this song (*´`*)
macam tak caya je yasu + ABC gang buat lagu macam ni.....

Dia sorang jer yg buat, org lain ikut arahan... Lgpun ABC=Yasu, ABC tuh stage name solo project dia jer. Backup musicians ikut suka ati dia jer dia nk tukar. Just utk PV jer dia salu guna yg fans dh familiar, tp klu recording ngan concerts mmg salu tukar2.
Biasa jer dia wat lagu mcm nih, Dragon Carnival, Cherry Cherry, etc... album dia mmg diverse, just dia tak pnah jadikan lagu2 camnih as single je. Tp yg nih dia buat exception sbb earthquake n sbb dia nk 5 consecutive singles nih biar lima2 berbeza n bawa pelbagai genre/theme.
Tp sbb lima2 single nih akn masuk album gak nnti, so bila kita tgk secara pukal, mmg dh rupa mcm album2 dia sebelum ni dah. Utk album baru, yg dh ada... Re:birth, Shoujo no Inori III, Pistol, Shangri-La, Chou, CRISIS, January single, pestuh may be 5-7 lagu tambahan.
haha. nice info kak kitty. thanks. biasa dengar lagu ABC yang dark, beracid, sexy, black. cherry nye xde. tapi yang kali ni, acid n black nyer xde, yang ada cherry je. tp bukan cherry boy la......hehe

Utk yg 5 consecutive singles nih... Pistol tuh sexy. Shangri-La positive song. Chou (Butterfly) nnti swing, semi-jazzy, lirik mcm love song tp kena tunggu full PV tuk dgr full lyric. CRISIS nnti intense, painful, heartwrenching rock tune. January single kena tunggu lak description dia mcm mana. Mcm ringan ke berat je arah dia.
Acid Black Cherry will be releasing his 15th single with the title Yes on January 18th, 2012.
This will be the final single for his 5-consecutive-monthly singles plan (one single per month for five months) before releasing his new album in 2012.
Yes is said to be the ultimate love ballad.
As for the recreation track, it will be really special this time around.
Yasu will be covering himself for the recreation track! I know everyone has been waiting for this!
The recreation track this time will be the long awaited Stop it love which he wrote for a radio show 10 years ago (refer to comment for preview).
We will finally have a proper studio version of Stop it love! I just can't wait!
