Say Anything by X Japan from their album Ballad collection

zawameki dake ga kokoro wo sashite
kikoenai mune no toiki
toki wo wasurete motome samayou
takanaru omoi nurashite

Run away from reality I've been crying in the dream
kôri tsuita toki ni furuete
yugande mienai kioku kasaneru
kanashimi ga kieru made

* You say anything kizutsuke au kotoba demo
Say anything tachikirenai kokoro ni
You say anything Just tell me all your sweet lies
Say anything enji kirenai kokoro ni

If I can go back to where I've been
yume no naka ni dake ikite
owaranai ame ni nureru
nagareru namida wo hakujitsu yume ni somete

You say anything Whatever you like to say to me
Say anything You leave me out of my eyes
You say anything All I can hear is voice from dream
Say anything You can dry my every tear

akari no kieta On the stage hitori mitsumete
tôrisugita hibi ni dakareru
kowashite kure nani mo ka mo kazatta ai mo
toki no suna ni kieru made

*

Close your eyes
and I'll kill you in the rain
kirei ni koroshi aeba
zôka no bara ni umoreta
shijin no namida wa kioku ni nagasarete

Time may change my life
But my heart remains the same to you
Time may change your heart
My love for you never changes

You say anything kizutsuke au kotoba demo
Say anything tachi kirenai kokoro ni

You say anything... Say anything
Now you've gone away
Where can I go from here?
Say anything... Say anything...

"I believed
If time passes, everything
turns into beauty
If the rains stop, tears clean
the scars of memory away
Everything starts weaning fresh colors
Every sound begins playing
a heartfelt melody
Jealousy embelishes a page of the epic
Desire is embraced in a dream
But my mind is still in chaos and....."

What's "X Japan?" Is it a J-Pop or J-Rock band? What genre of music?  

[Virgil Lifeson]

X Japan is probably the first "Visual" Japanese bands, and it kind of created a lot of the visual kei stuff you see in Japanese stuff. So, yes, it's like THE ORIGINAL J-Rock.  

[Otulissa]

That's cool! I haven't heard of them before. XD When I have time, I should look them up on Youtube or something.

Sensorium by Epica from their album We Will Take You With Us

Lyrics:
Chance doesn't exist
But the path of life is not totally so predestined
And time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here

Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Searching only for this
That which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear

I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it

I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore

Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all

We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond  

[Otulissa]

I discovered a song that I hadn't heard before by sNoW!

"Yes" by sNoW. It's all Holiday-ish!  

[Virgil Lifeson]

Burned by Change of Heart from their album Truth or Dare

Found the band mentioned above, recently, and thought I'd take a listen. This is, so far, my favourite track on the album.  

[Otulissa]

How recently did you discover them?
