Calm.

That's pretty much the first thing that comes to mind when I hear this song.

This song is called Eos and it was done by a Norwegian group called Ulver, which means "wolves". Their album, Shadows of the Sun, was my first proper introduction with experimental music.

Lately, Ulver has been doing some experimental music, aside from their normal black metal sounds.
My brother gave me this album from when he played Eos out loud. I was.. intrigued at the peaceful sounds of this song! It was so different to the techno songs I listen to all the time...
They're the type of songs you'd probably listen to if you wanted to relax.. Well, if I wanted to relax, that's what I'd listen to..
Although some songs on this album were a little bit creepy for my tastes, the album was exceptional and it's nothing like I've ever heard before!
Go click the link, sit back, and relax. Let the sounds envelop you in calm like you've never heard it before.

Hi people!
Say, have you heard any good music recently?
I'm pretty sure you have!
[And just in case, What, you haven't heard a single good song in your whole life?! Sad.]
Tell me your favourite songs!
It can be any genre; HEAVY METAL, COUNTRY or EVEN POLKA is acceptable!
It can also be from any time period. [e.g. 70's, 80's etc.]
I don't even care if it's in a different language!**
All you need to do is leave the name of the song and artist and, if you can, a Youtube/other link to the song.

**For foreign songs, please tell me the language the song is in. Please try spell the title in English as closely as you can! It would also be nice if you could tell me what the song is about!

No bogus links please!

001. Stronger

Anyone here like Stronger by Kanye West? I Do!

This song sampled Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, which was sampled by Cola Bottle Baby by Edwin Birdsong.

But this is not about the sampling.

This is about the Japanese Characters you see throughout the video itself.

Is there anyone else who's wondering what that actually means? I am.

Could it possibly be a subliminal message?

Even though I'm learning Japanese at school, I don't know enough to actually translate it ....

...BUT I know enough to work out the sounds.

Can anybody help me out and translate the japanese?

This is all I have worked out so far [This is the order in which they came in the video. I do not know how the words are to be spaced out, which is why I have the video to help. I have, however, spaced each sound separately.]:

Ko Se Ro
Su To Sa Ga
Yo Ri Na Ga Ku
I Ma Su Gu
I Ma O Ma E Ga Hi Tu Yo U Da
Ne
Gi
Te
Ga _ Ba Re [Sorry, I couldn't remember what sound that was!]

That's all I've worked out so far. Looking at 6,7 + 8, it seems it's just random sounds thrown in the video to spice it up, but we can't rule out the possibility of a secret message in there.

Please help me out if you can! Sure, it's not the puzzling paradox ever, but it will end us waking up in the middle of the night, wondering IF there actually is a subliminal message in that video! [...not that it happens to me.. but who knows?]

...And please, PLEASE Kanye West...

...Don't Sue Me.

[I don't wanna study law... Would it be a suitable reason for him to sue me for just wondering about some Japanese in his music video? hmm.....]

Bye for now!
