Poe_n_Marry gave a link from the official site saying that it was intentional, not accidental.

Okay I am hearing alot of talk about songs meanings and such, could anyone give me a link to some translations? I would love to read some people opinion of the album as well, anyone read any reviews? Or anyone made and song specific reviews? I would love to read.


Hikkistation has done a great job getting the lyrics (romaji, japanese, and english translation) up on their site. check it out!

テイク 5 is my favourite track in the album. At first, i wasn't sure about the abrupt ending, but now i think it's entirely appropriate and necessary. If the song's message were about death/getting to relive life again, then it'd make sense that the song ends abruptly, 'cuz sometimes life can end all of a sudden too.

if the song were to end the conventional way, then perhaps the message wouldn't get delivered as effectively?

I like how it just ended all of a sudden, and then Boku wa Kuma plays.

Take 5 is easily my favorite track on the album.

Ya,although it has a sudden ending,I love this songs,it's so original,and pretty much shows Hikki is not afraid to experience anything with music.

My speculated reason for the sudden ending of take 5 is this:

(This is only spectaculation. I read the album as a story)
As Hikki mentioned in the SSTV interview, the album deals with Death. So my guess is that the sudden ending means Death and possibly a sudden one.

As I am open to any views on life after death. One of the beliefs I have is reincarnation.

So, the end of take 5 signifies the end of an individual's life. and his spirit reincarnates and takes a different form.
i.e. it become a child again and lives on earth as we can see from boku wa kuma. Then we follow this individual as it grows from a child to teen (in Rainbow-colored Bus) and finally to an adult (Flavor of Life)

Notice that there is a version of FOL already earlier on the album. This shows that the person earlier on who had died during Take 5 is the same as the only we are hearing about now. The person is only taking a different form

To put it graphically

<------------------------------------------------------->
FOL (ballad) Take 5 Boku wa Kuma RCB FOL
^----------------------------------------------------^
Same song but different versions, same theory applies to my idea of the HEART STATION perso's life.


that makes perfect sense =)

wow she is so creative <333333
