Carnival.

Now this is it.

It's a song by The Pillows, a great Japanese rock band. Anime fans should already because them because they signed the music on FLCL.
If you're an anime fan and don't know FLCL, please do yourself a favor and get to see it. Otherwise, listen to The Pillows. They're good. Really.
Anyway, I love this song. The original. The main riff is excellent.

I recorded it in July 2005.
I made it an instrumental because it's quite hard to sing in japanese. At some point I tried to translate the lyrics but gave up.
More importantly it's just quite hard to sing. Not in my range and I wanted the riff as is.
The Pillows made an instrumental for FLCL anyway.
I think it works (it's only normal to be a bit partial to his own work...) , I kind of rock on this one. ;)
Not mentionning I actually get a proper solo this time!
It's not perfect obviously, especially the sounds at the beginning and at the end which are a bit too aggressive.

But overall, I think I didn't slaughter this one too much.
