I always thought it would be cute if someone just so happened to find themselves in a candy shop everyday eating all kinds of candy alongside a bunch of kids... never imagining they could find love there. Spending your life only addicted to one thing, then waking up to find you are in love with something sweeter than candy. The only sweeter thing than candy is being with someone you love!

僕はいつも思うんだ。もし誰かがキャンディショップで、たくさんの子供たちと並びながら、毎日色んな種類のキャンディを食べて、たまたまそこで、キャンディより甘い何かをみつけられたらキュートだろうなって。
決してそこで愛を見つけることは想像していないんだろうけど。
ひとつのことに夢中になりながら、人生を過ごしていて、それからキャンディよりももっと甘い何かに恋することを見つけるために歩いていく。
キャンディよりももっと甘いただひとつのこと。それはきっと愛する誰かと一緒にいることだよね。

I always thought it would be romantic to set a towel outside in the backyard, and watch an ECLIPSE. (without going blindofcourse) An eclipse is a miracle of nature, and to feel that kind of love with someone you care about is an even bigger miracle. This song explores the hard challenge we all face in our lives, but once we break the barrier and find a piece of what we are looking for there is a big weight off of our shoulders. When you find it...it becomes a miracle of nature...a total eclipse.
僕はいつも思うんだ。庭にタオルを敷いて外でeclipseを見上げる事が何てロマンチック だろうと…(もちろん遮る物も何もなしでね)eclipseは自然が織り成す奇跡。そして私達が大切に思う誰かとの愛を感じる事はもっとすごい奇跡だと思 う。この曲は人生において誰もが直面する困難な出来事に立ち向かう曲。一度その殻を破って僕達がそこに探し求めている愛を見つけた時にあらゆる困難な物か ら解き放たれる。その愛を見つけた時…正に自然における奇跡になるんだ…それがtotal eclipse.

The Sweetest Day is a summer song. I wrote this song thinking of going back to CANADA and seeing my FAMILY for CHRISTMAS. I haven't been home for CHRISTMAS in a long time so I was hoping that by writing this song , by some miracle I would get the chance this year to be home for CHRISTMAS. I enjoy making HAPPY songs and this is definately a song that makes me happy!

The Sweetest Dayは夏の曲なんだけど、クリスマスにカナダに帰って家族と会いたいなぁっという思いで書いたんだ。長い間クリスマスに帰っていなかったんだ。だからこ の曲を書いた事で奇跡がおこりクリスマスに家に帰れるといいな。Happyな曲を作るのは本当に楽しく、この曲は絶対僕をHappyにしてくれる事間違い ないね。

'Get up and dance' is a song about being too shy to get up and do something exciting for change. Sometimes I find myself a little bit hesitant when put into a strange situtation, but I try my best to participate as much as I can! It is always best to get up and dance sometimes to enjoy the thrill of life. Let yourself know you are ALIVE!!!!

'Get up and dance'は、変化を求め、立ち上がって何か楽しいことをする、ということをためらっている様子を歌っています。
自分自身も時々、居たことがない状況にある時ためらってしまうことがあるけれど、できる限りその場に親しめるようベストを尽くしてます！
人生のスリルを楽しむためにも立ち上がってダンスすることは最高なこと。皆さん自身も、自分が生きている事をそうやって確かめて知って下さい！！！

This song was really fun to make! I played around a lot with different sounds and it turned out great! Basically this is about keeping up with the times. The world is changing so fast sometimes we find it hard to catch up. When I say “Shine” what I mean is try to keep ahead of everything and push yourself as hard as you can. Try not to dance to everyone else’s choreography, create your own. Thanks and enjoy!

この曲の制作は本当に楽しかった！たくさん様々な音を使ったおかげで素晴らしい作品に
なりました！この曲では、時の流れについていくことを描いています。世界は、僕達が
追いついていけなくなるほど早く変化している。僕の“シャイン”は、そんな全ての事に対して最前線に居続け、そしてできる限り一生懸命突き進んでいこう、ということを意味しているんです。誰かの振り付けどおりに踊るようなことはせずに、自分自身をクリエイトして。
それではみなさん楽しいんで聴いて下さい。ありがとう！

I decided to have a little more fun this time with language.
JAPANESE...FRENCH...and ENGLISH.
The theme to "Don't forget me" is basically about a man who falls in love with a woman who doesn't have any confidence in herself.
He wants to spend the rest of his life with her but he later finds out he has to leave for a while...so he begs her to wait for him and to not forget him.
She does wait for him but he never comes back to her.
He could be dead, or he could have simply run away for good.
But she keeps on remembering him, thinking he will be back someday But he never shows up.

今回は前回よりさらに言葉で遊んでみました。日本語、フランス語、そして英語。
"Don't forget me"のテーマ…
ある男があまり自分に自信のない女と恋に落ち、その後生涯を共に過ごしたいと考えていたのが、時が過ぎ男は彼女とは少し距離を置かなければいけないと考える…彼女には自分を忘れないで、そして待っていて欲しいと頭を下げ、去った。
彼女は待ったが男は戻ってこなかった。
男は死んでしまったのか、ただ去って戻らない事にしたのか。
それでも彼女は男を想い続ける。いつか戻ってくるのでは、と。
しかし彼は二度と現れることはなかった

Call me (Appelez moi)
Song Synopsis
This song is my first attempt at writing in French and English.
When I was writing “Call me (Appelez moi)” , I was thinking of using the idea of losing track of people.
The idea of “we are only a phone call away” always made me laugh because the simpler things get,
the less we want to do, but the lyrics have nothing to do with that.
Using that idea, the story is of a guy who is trying to get a hold of a girl he knew when he was younger, but he can’t bring himself to call her, so he decides to walk to her.
At every step he takes, he hesitates, and contemplates whether or not he should turn back, but he continues. When he finally arrives, he realizes that he never had the courage to talk to her before, why would he now?
Ultimately it forces him to admit to himself that he never really knew her in the first place, and he continues praying for her to call him someday.

今回のフランス語と英語による作詞はこの作品が初の試みとなりました。
“Call me(Appelez moi)を制作している時（歌詞の内容とは関係ないのですが）、
単純な事だからこそ何故か実行までは及ばないもの。“僕達はいつでも電話をすれば遠く離れた人とでもすぐ連絡がとれる”のに、それがなぜか思いつかない。これって面白いよなぁと思ったわけです。
そして、そこからあるストーリーが思い浮かびました・・・
あ る男には、以前からの知人で、ずっと想いを寄せていた女性がいた。なかなか電話をする勇気がでなかったのだが、ある日思い切って彼女に歩み寄ろうとする。 一歩一歩前へ進む度、やっぱりやめようかと躊躇しながら・・・。そしてついに彼女に声をかけた。今までこんなに思い切った行動にでたことは無かったのに、 何故今僕はこんな行動にでているのだろうと驚きながら。しかし結局彼女は全く話したこともない、ただひそかに想いを寄せていた女性だったのだ。それでも男 は彼女からいつか、来るはずも無い電話が来るんじゃないかと、ひそかに願いつづけている・・・

English

Monkey Majik is a Japanese band composed of two Canadian brothers, Maynard and Blaise Plant, who both perform vocals and guitar, drummer tax and bassist DICK. The band is sometimes referred to as a "hybrid-band", as half of the members are foreigners and the lyrics are sung in both English and Japanese.

Much of the band's music has been cross-promoted via television programs, commercials, and movies. The band has been chosen as “Goodwill Ambassadors” for the 80th anniversary of Japanese-Canadian relations[1].

Monkey Majik is managed by Edward Limited and are signed to binyl records, an avex subsidiary. Their live recordings are handled by Under Horse Records, a record company the band was signed on to before their major label debut.

The band, even after mainstream success, is still based in Sendai, located roughly 350km from Tokyo. This is contrary to the majority of musicians in Japan, whom most often move to Tokyo after mainstream success.
Maynard Plant moved to Japan in 1997[2] to teach English after graduating from Queen's University where he was president of the Alma Mater Society. He was able to learn Japanese while working as an Assistant Language Teacher. Blaise moved to Japan in 2001, after studying Drama at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta and spending some time as a solo-artist.

In 2002 Monkey Majik released their first EP called TIRED, a self-financed release limited to 1,000 copies available at Tower Records in Sendai. The EP attained the number one sales position for the store for six straight weeks. In 2003 the band released the first full-length album "SPADE", once again only available at Tower Records in Sendai. The album retained the number one in-store sales position for 13 consecutive weeks. "SPADE" was released nation-wide in 2004. The band's second full-length album, "eastview", was released in 2005. In the fall of the same year the band signed on to major label avex.

Their first major release single through avex was "fly" in 2006. The single was commercially successful, reaching #19 on the Oricon charts. "Fly" was quickly followed by the release of their second single, "Around the World", which was used as the drama Seiyuuki's theme song. "Around the World" became their break out single, reaching #4 on Oricon charts and charting for 13 weeks. "Around the World" sold 164,299 copies in 2006, becoming the 62nd most selling single of the year in Japan.

In 2007 Monkey Majik released their fourth full-length album "Sora wa maru de", where the titled song "Sora wa maru de" became the first song in Japanese History to reach #1 on USEN Request Chart before being released.

Their most recent album "TIME" opened it's first week at #2 on the Oricon Chart.

Francais

Monkey Majik est un groupe originaire du nord du Japon, plus précisement de Sendai. Ils entrent dans le monde de la musique en 2000 avec leur premier album "Lily", sans franc succès et les albums suivants, "Spade" (2003) et "Eastview" (2005) passeront un peu inaperçu. En 2006 paraît leurs dernier album "Thank You" qui conclut un début d'année remarqué. En effet, après le succès du single "Fly", beaucoup de projets leur sont proposés comme par exemple le générique de Saiyuuki, un programme de la chaîne Fuji Tv. C'est ainsi que sort le single "Around the World" qui accroît leurs popularité au point que les chanteuses du groupe "Bennie K" demandent à Blaise Plant (le chanteur du groupe Monkey Majik) de chanter ensemble.
La chanson "Endless Summer" (fruit de la colaboration du groupe Bennie K et de Blaise Plant") montre que le groupe a parfaitement intégré la musique hip-hop, même s'il présente un style plutot pop, pop-rock. Leur dernier single "Picture Perfect" est le fruit d'une collaboration avec m-flo, les stars de la scêne hip-hop japonaise.
Parlons plus précisément de la composition du groupe. En effet, il diffère des autres groupes par le fait qu'il est composé de deux Canadiens Maynard e Blaise Plant (frères, vocaliste et guitariste) et de deux japonais, dont un batteur Kikuchi Takuya et un bassiste DICK. La présence des deux Canadiens dans se groupe souligne l'internationalisation de la scène musicale japonaise, qui est très influencé par les rythmes occidentaux mais attire également de plus en plus de musiciens étrangers à se faire produire dans le pays du soleil levant.
