Maaya's.net

A long time ago in a thread far away...

For those who did not follow the original post, some time ago Windpaths posted some music from her...

[quote="Windpaths"]I became a fan of her these days, accidentally....

The song "Lost Butterfly" just made me love her. At first I only noticed the nice melody, but after understanding the lyric I was moved

Even bought her CD "Water Forest" from CD Japan.

Similar with Sakamoto Maaya ---- Rurutia is not doing a lot in promotion or advertisement stuff. She just does her music, purely.

BTW, she writes all the lyrics and musics her self. The arrangement is done by her in cooperation with Satou Taka.

However, I bet not many people can get used to the way she sings lol[/quote]

I have loved the music ever since, wich by the way was hard to find. Fortunately she posted some mp3s too

As quoted, her style of music is original and i find that from track to track her style changes ever so random! (reminds me of Shounen Alice :S)

Check out the Rurutia web!:

I checked her out, and I must say....it took me a minute to accept her voicem but she's actually cute good.
She's really simpley cute and her voice is sweet.
Wish I could hear more though.

I was able to get more music from her here:

Unfortunately that torrent is really old, and am not sure if there are seeders. I am looking for a friendly tracker in wich i could make a torrent for her separate albums.

Give me second and a push to remind me to upload them ok ^^

As for Rurutia, have you seen here videos in Rurutia.net?, i think they are as out weird and pretty as the songs are

What tracks have you heard? (or where?... last time i checked, some of the mp3 links are down XS)

I;ve only listened to the previews on her site, and I'm really intruiged. ^_^
She sounds somewhere between wuite loely and rather cute.

It doesn't really look like there's a seed for that torrent anymore, but I'll leave it open anyway.

I haven't watched any of her videos on rurutia.net.
Guess I'll go check those out. ^_^

Just wondering if you had more luck finding Rurutia lyrics! -_-u

... better yet, the scans of the booklets!! X3

She has just released a new album called Meme ..or Mima... or Mime..... i have seen a lot of variants o_x

I have yet to listen to it, so any reviews would be good! :9

In a spur of memory, have you seen her music videos? they are quite artistic... and um... lethal... at least in one where im sure she strangles a guy! @_@
*more as soon as i find it*

Strangled a guy...XD That must be Itoshigoyo PV!

If you understand what Itoshigoyo's lyric is talking about
You might agree so much that the PV just fits the lyric so well...

::About translation of Rurutia's lyrics...

Rurutia's lyrics are mostly rich in vacabulary, imageries and stuff. (in a word, poetic) It's certainly a pleasure to understand them.

I've translated all of her lyrics except some new songs in "Meme".

You see, I have strong confidence in translating Rurutia's lyric into poetic Chinese, since Chinese is my mother tongue and I read a lot of Chinese literature (which helps translating).

For English, I might just be able to translate the meaning, but not the poetic beauty...

But chibi you understand some Japanese? (don't beat me up if I'm wrong XD)

:: About Scans

I have some scans, could you come here?
(The pages are in Chinese, but you just click on the jpg files XD)

(There's one scan which is low quality.. but I tried some effect on it)

I'm still working on other scans... (don't have scanner at home, so have to use school library...)

:: About PV

Now Rurutia has got 5 PVs altogether, relased in her singles/albums in CD-Extra format, they are:

Itoshigoyo
Lost Butterfly
Shine
Traumerei
Primary

There are two short movies which have used her song as main theme or so: (they were included in her albums in CD-Extra format)

Suzaku no Sora
Kimino himitsu, bokuno kokoro

Which ones do you need? ^__^

wai! ^n_n^

Thanks for the flow of Rurutia goodies! :3

The PV i had indeed was Itoshigoyo! :O
I only have that one and Lost Butterfly, yet they are great! ^^
I saw some other in Rurutias official homepage, where you can also listen to her music (streammedia).

Finally!, lyrcs to follow Ruru-chan's songs! XD
Also, i can translate the lyrics you posted to english/spanish ^n_n^
... unless you already have them in english?... o_o

Translating lyrics is a fun hobby, since i rediscover the songs and also helps me remember the words :x. Yet giving them a poetic meaning is another step thru; but.....

Have you seen these films?

When i went to anime expo, they showed us this new 3D anime that came out in japan. The animation is soo awesome and i instantly fell in love with it after watching 2 episodes. and as if that wasn't good enough, the ending song and some of the songs they play during the episode is by Rurutia. This is where i fell in love with here...i...must....get...her....songs @_@ i know windpath had it uploaded but the links are dead now T_T (do you think you can fix taht plsssss?)

i uploaded a trailer of the new anime to my .......xanga? 0.o..yea. It's called Karas. take a look.

I just noticed a thing.

I downloaded her "new" (because it came out a few months ago) album.
You have the second track, Tone. Compare it with Lene Marlin's "Another day".

Crazy coincidence? Who knows... :roll:

Wow how did I miss this thread? >_<

I actually just recently discovered Rurutia and fell so hard in love with her music that I bought all 4 of her cds ($30 each at www.yesasia.com). They are 4 of the best JPOP albums i've ever heard/owned. I have plenty of other JPOP albums by Hikki, Do As Infinity, Brilliant Green, Ayumi, etc, etc, but these Rurutia cds really take the cake with how wonderful they are. I can put them on and listen to every one of the 44 songs without having to skip a single one.

My favorite songs are:
Selenite (Meme)
Blue Rose (I might have translated this one wrong, it's track 10 on Meme)
Neo (Promised Land)
Primary (Meme)
Track 10 (Promised Land, no idea on the translation )
Lost Butterfly (R
