It's far from perfect, I've already noticed some mistakes, for example after the "Don't Dawdle" I forgot to translate the "Tear it up, tear up the past". Sorry for that, I will keep you updated on the progress ... DNA Rhapsody was far more equivocal I must say.

The latest Momoclo release by MSP today!

It can be found either on the HO tracker or the Matsuurian Archives

I love this performance 

It's early Momoka Ariyasu pure...
Momoclo's silly little giant's performance of her solo song "Arigatou no Present" at Akarin's 2011 graduation concert "4.10. Nakano Sun Plaza Taikai Momokuro Haru no Ichidaiji".

She is VERY nervous in the beginning, her voice unsure and her body language hesitant. The longer the performance lasts the more secure she gets, decisive singing and gestures.
Until the last two lines that is when I guess her own "victory" in the solo part and the whole meaning of the concert make her finish the song in tears   

 

But jeez will you look at those skinny legs???? Just three years later Momoka has no competition in her quest to defend the "Miss Thunderthighs" title Eri Kamei had vacated

黒い週末 (Black weekend)
From the National Olympic Stadium concert


This is one of my absolute favorite songs of Momoclo along with Hai to Daiyamondo, so when I saw this performance I just had to make this. Also took the liberty of re-translating the lyrics

Live band, night sky, Spring breeze and the cheers from 55000 fans.
This is what Rock is all about.

Lyrics:
Black weekend, come on REIDEEN
Black weekend, come on REIDEEN

Out of smiles today
Power has been cut
On the verge of tears
Black weekend, come on REIDEEN

Where is the ticket to the promised land?
A sleepless doll, stripped of freedom
Cold and hungry, plagued by nightmares
Fingers reaching out for that which it cannot grasp
Wanting worship More and more!
A longing desire

Curse this timing
Power unplugged (Shouting to the point of nosebleed...this is all you got!? )
Nearing total breakdown
Black weekend, come on REIDEEN!

Spit out the poison and bury it in mud
Be gone my feebleness, stay silent

Shook to the soul Tear open the closed doors
Hearing that solemn voice
Hit me hard
There is no joy in victory if you sold your soul
Let me hear your voice once more
Resound, REIDEEN

Heart turns into heart (fortitude)
Awakening with the sounding beat

A person stands before my dazzled eyes
Who is it? A god of salvation
He has chosen me
So believe and go forth together

My wishes I will never give up
Even if engulfed by darkness This I swear by my pride

Nothing is born from regret
Wallowing in self pity is meaningless
Be thankful of that which you've received
And give out in order to live on

I know you know The sorrows of talent
One need only pray to have love
The weather cleared up, hurray!!

Tame the fearful heart
This world is filled with negativity
Grab on to the chance to break through
Hold tightly Don't let go

Hey come on Hello REIDEEN

Aren't we invincible if we firmly unite
Isn't it great when our resolve is aligned
It's annoying to have quarrels midway
Expect the best with a straight-forward approach

A cruel merry-go-round
Spiraling tears
Is this a test to bury the flickers of evil

Spit out the poison and bury it in mud
Be gone my feebleness, forever silenced

Shook to the soul Tear open the closed doors
Hearing that solemn voice
Hit me hard
There is no joy in victory if you sold your soul
Let me hear your voice once more
Resound、REIDEEN

The selfish heart, received a blessing
Dispersed by streaking across the sky
Heart turns into heart (fortitude)
Giving meaning to the sound of each beat
Abracadabra

The twisting, turning times of struggle
Like the Ark
Has gone forth to the future
It is not all in vain

Don't forget all that you've been through, each person you've met
Like the Ark
Hold them tightly
A shining, shimmering weekend

On a side note, Aarin's part "All aboard! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" is the beginning of Ozzy Osbourne's song Crazy Train.

It seems that it has been revealed during Chibikko Matsuri two days ago that Kanako always thought it was 'overall' instead of 'all aboard'. :)

Besides the direct reference to Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf", "Crazy Train" and "Sabbra Cadabra", there are a few points in the arrangement that sounds similar to "Fairies Wears Boots"
I think there's also traces of Deep Purple's "Black Night"and "Strange Kind Of Woman"

Overall it's just a brilliantly arranged, addicting song.

But even putting those factors aside, one of my favorite aspects of this song it that it is Momoclo's song
As in, the lyrics and overall meaning make little sense if someone else sang it

The lyrics put subtle references in the lines of each member:

Kanako- dimples girl-> can't smile anymore (no smile = no dimple)
Shori - loves to eat->cold and hungry + crybaby->on the verge of crying
Arin - Overprotective mom -> A sleepless doll, stripped of freedom
Momoka - not really sure how her lines fit her..."Where is the ticket to the promised land?" might be a reference to how she was snubbed in EXPG and Power Age
Reni - Electric girl -> Power has been cut

Momoclo as a whole:

Aren't we invincible if we firmly unite
Isn't it great when our resolve is aligned
It's annoying to have quarrels midway -> How they put emphasis in their bonds to each other

Don't forget all that you've been through, each person you've met -> Their performances over the years and fans

And of course,

black weekend/shining weekend -> weekend heroines Momoclo

Overall it's a song that's just as much a tribute to Momoclo as it is to metal and rock

Absolutely love it :x

That awkward feeling when you can hear the real vocals blend with the vocal track... o____o;

Can't stop, won't stop, bureeki nanka iranaiii...
