Variety(娯楽 (バラエティ)), a.k.a. Goraku is the third studio album by Japanese band Tokyo Jihen, released on September 26, 2007 in Japan through EMI Music Japan and Virgin Music. The album was produced by the band and Japanese recording engineer Uni Inoue.
The album contains thirteen tracks and has spawned two singles.
The lead single, "O.S.C.A.", was released in July 11, 2007. "Killer-tune" followed as the second single in August 22, 2007.
Background
Its thirteen tracks were carefully selected from a vast number of demos created by the band, with all tracks featuring music written by members other than lead vocalist Ringo Sheena. This was a different direction for the band, most of whose previous material had been composed by Ringo Sheena. The record includes seven tracks from guitarist Ukigumo, five tracks from keyboard player Ichiyo Izawa and one composed by bassist Seiji Kameda. Drummer Toshiki Hata was also asked to contribute, but he declined.
After the album's release, the song "Kingyo no Hako" was picked to be the film Mōryō no Hako's theme song.
"Mirror Ball" (typeset as MIRROR BALL) is a single by Alice Nine, released on March 26, 2008. The title track is the theme song of the live-action adaption of collectible card game and animeAquarian Age (specifically, one of the stories, Juvenile Orion), in which the band also appears.
The single was released in three versions: two limited editions and one regular edition. The limited editions contain a second B-side, "Kiseki," and an additional DVD with a single music video. The DVD for Type A includes the music video for "Mirror Ball," and the DVD for Type B includes the music video for "Eraser -Memoire d'une Fleur-."
The song "Eraser -Memoire d'une Fleur-" is a remade version of the song "Eraser" (イレイザー) from the band's Alpha album. The song "Mirror Ball" was later rearranged with piano accompaniment for the band's third album, Vandalize.
The single reached #6 on the Oricon weekly rankings, selling 13,801 copies in its first week.
Development history
The song "Mirror Ball" came into conception before the release of Alice Nine's second album, Alpha. However, it did not become a full-fledged single until the director of the Aquarian Age film, who also directed the music video for the band's "Jewels" single, approached the band in request of a theme song for the movie.
Are you gonna live out there by yourself Out there by yourself alone? Are you gonna give to no one but yourself No one but yourself alone? And keep on spinning through an empty hall Like reflections from a mirror ball Round and round going nowhere? Are you gonna stay up there in the clouds Up there in the clouds so safe? And keep on moving through an empty sky Like a jet plane that's just passing by Round and round landing nowhere? Round and round going nowhere Are you gonna stay out there by yourself
