Tsunku's Comment "1st GAM Sweet Temptation"
The origin of GAM
GAM comes from "Great Aya and Miki." He wondered if there was any English meaning to the word GAM, so he looked it up and found out that it was slang for "beautiful legs."
So with the formation of GAM and the support of fans, the first album is made!
He's extremely happy.
He feels that the girls are at an age of being adults and come to understand the responsiblity of being adults.
There probably needs to be things that are good and bad judgments.
Friendship
Family
Work
The opposite sex
Traveling abroad
Delicious cake
Midnight calls
The theme of movies
Exercise
Bath, etc
He thinks there are many things with many temptations.
And for fans, he thinks it's wonderful if the two girls are always "sweet temptations."
Matsuura Aya
From when she debuted, her singing has improved drastically. The album is able to expand by her sense of sound. Her voice and Miki's voice are completely different and by the stablity of her singing he is able to create songs not created before.
Fujimoto Miki
In Morning Musume, she has the best dance performance. The album is packed with Miki's confidence. By pushing out a rythmn of a mild voice, the album has wonderful charm.
"Thanks!"
Theme: "In thanks for meeting a lot of people"
Starts with the debut song.
He made this song thinking it will be beautiful if it turns out to be song where it is "thanks' for the two girls who have been in the entertainment world till now.
"Purity Only"
Theme: "Purity of a maiden being in love desperately"
With an exception in love, he wonders that acting more on emotion than thinking in your head will result more in doing something you regret. Using a little deception, you put up with something and think to praise yourself; you give a present, but it turns out to be harmful. You feel that attacking straight on is not good, you don't want to be hated, so you think of yourself of not being good.
However, you don't want love to become like that. Especially with unrequited love, if it's an older person at work you see everyday, after the ship sinks, you don't want to be at that place anymore.
This song is about the conflicts of a girl's feelings. Not just the feelings of girls in the teens, but 20's, 30's and even 60's.
"Melodies"
Theme: "Confirmation of love. Possesiveness."
Very adult-like and there's no song in Hello! Project like this one and fits the right age of the singers. It turned out to be popular and the girl's singing fits.
"Love Boat"
Theme: "Facing the future. With lots of love."
Out of all the songs in the album, he is most pleased with the message in this one. The melody is natural and elegant, and he thinks that only these two girls can sing it.
The sound is a medium tempo with a good beat and a sorrowful guitar sound, especially the guitar solo.
The harmony is pretty and he is able to brag about being able to listen to it many times and has great affection for the song.
He wrote this song thinking life as like a big lake with a row boat in it. A sea has waves, but a lake really doesn't, but a rowing boat create waves, wind create waves, and it can look like it is about to rain. There are a lot of things so he tried to take those feelings and replace them with life.
"Kiss Me Here"
Theme: "The selfishness of women. The feeling of wanting to be spoiled"
Miki is the 1st chorus. Aya is the 2nd chorus.
Because it's about girls begging for kisses, it's better to see each person's expression.
Even though it's the same song, there the nuances changes. He hopes that the listener will be able to feel the sorrowful feeling in the song.
"Lu Lu Lu"
Theme: "Broken love by loving too much"
The harmony in the song is important for GAM. He thinks that Fujimoto's attitude toward music changed because of this song. He feels the power of Aya's singing and the method of Fujimoto's singing combined together makes a really interesting unit.
"Flirty Summer"
Theme: "Flirty Summer"
The song is loaded with harmony. A special point is that it feels like continous whisper singing. By setting the whole tone low instead of the key, he is able to pull out a wider range of vocals. He feels that Aya's good sense of musical interval you can feel the song is hot and cute.
Look foward at the girl's expression when singing this song live.
"Love Oasis"
Theme: "Exhausting all civility to love, you are about to fall in love again"
A girl who its tired of love, when she realizes it, she is already in love.
A girl who is always passionate cuts corners without knowing, when meets of a love not so great, becomes tired of it. And it takes awhile for the heart to heal. But when she realizes it she is ready to love again fully.
It's about wanting a little moisture from rain for the dry desert heart.
The beat to this song is funky, so try to imagine the two girls singing and dancing in a cool fashion while listening.
"...H"
Theme: "The night you don't want to return to"
Please read it as the letter "H."
The guy you liked had a girlfriend. The guy says the right things at the right times. You have no choice to believe, but the guy thinks about the ex-girlfriend. That's the guy you like.
It repeats like this day after day until you finally decided on a day to say your motives. "Stop meeting the girl! Spend time with me!"
The song is like a disco song. It really has a beat and the melody is full of sorrow.
"Sweet Temptation"
Theme: "Temptation"
The last song, the album title.
It might not be a simple success, but the image of succes, holding justice, one moves foward everyday. This song is like that kind of guy written in a girl's diary.
He feels that the songs are like the point where you can image the live performance of the two girls. He feels that this album is just right.
"Thanks Tempation Remix"
It has a guitar sound that is also like, "It also feels like this," so he is able to complete it in a new way.
