Hello guys! Just thought I would post on my blog while waiting for Tohma to respond to my phone message. All of your comments have lovely to read. Thank you to all the fans all over the world who have supported me. The interview today went very well. I must confess that I was nervous because of the unfortunate events happening with Bad Luck, but Misaka was still the nice lady I know from all those years ago.

Everyday my excitement for the new album grows. I compare my new album to a Christmas Present; waiting for the day you can see what's underneath the packaging. I want my fans to know that my third album has come to it's final stages and I've had issues coming up with a title. I can now reveal that I have chosen a name for the album: MALE BRIDE! I decided it when I was on my way home from the interview. By next week we should have the album art finished. For now I'm going to post the track-list for Male Bride and talk about each song. I'm hoping to finish the thank you notes by tomorrow as there are many people to thank. You'll see a few of them names mentioned while I write a short description on each song.

In My Theatre

An old demo for my last album with Bad Luck. I really wanted this to be in Homeless Fairies. Shuichi, who had the biggest input out of the three of us, chose for it to be cut. It's been on my iPod for a long time and another thing that inspired me to choose this as the lead single was because the demo leaked onto Youtube. I started reading through all the comments after my album, Tohma had been been released. It gave me an idea on what people would like to hear on my next album. There was a rumor at the time that I was planning on re-recording it by myself. It was just a rumor at the time, but it was something I began to consider.

When I did decide it would be on the album, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. If you saw my interview with Misaka you would know the song is how anyone can feel worthy in the right crowds offering to lift you up. The fact that I've been involved in theatre work, (Phantom Of The Opera & Beauty And The Beast) makes it even more of a personal song, both professional and emotional terms. I hope you guys liked the first live performance of the song.

Forest Born

I love playing video games and I've been hooked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl recently. Playing as Ganondorf against Peach suddenly gave me the idea on what would they be like if the two of them were together? Forest Born paints a scene were Ganondorf fools Peach into believing he is deeply in love with her. Peach falls for it and they marry. Little does she know that Ganondorf is only using her for world domination.

It was a very interesting song to record. I didn't know what kind of musical score I wanted and I was a bit stuck on how to capture Ganondorf's character in my vocals, so I replayed the Legend Of Zelda games and read fan fiction centered around him. I wanted to see how both underground writers and the games had portrayed him in much more detail.

Ganondorf, like many common villains has a hunger for power. The song took the longest to write and record. I believe I've seven demos for this song. The song will include a heavy use of percussions with guitars to overlay them.

Raped By Cameras

No. This song is not bashing Shuichi. In my opinion, the song has a very tropical vibe that deteriorates into a tragic tale about how so much attention can harm one's privacy.

Toxic Thongs

This is also not a Shuichi diss. A planned second single. It has a very similar theme to Raped By Cameras but has more elements of pop in the song. The song is about how one's personality can burn when he abuses his fame.

Masquerade Your Soul

The song is a follow up to Toxic Thongs and Raped By Cameras. I wanted the rhythm to be slow with sooth beats to help calm the mood down. The song is about keeping your dignity even at the toughest times.

Male Bride

The title song. The suggestion came from Larxene and Asuka when we were talking about the time when I was in Bad Luck. The conversation went on with Larxene saying: "Shuichi's wedding dress was brilliant." Then Asuka said, "Hey Suguru, write a song about a man wearing a wedding dress." Since it was those two who got the idea I demanded them to perform backing vocals to the track.

Bow!

The song contains vocals from Larxene. Larxene and I first met at Tohma's birthday party. She had been working on her second album and she complimented me and asked if I would like to collaborate at some point, and I said yes. The song is about leadership, something a lot of us desire in this competitive world.

Winter Sky

A very dramatic anthem. Very fast paced and full of metaphors.

Fell To His Knees

I don't sing on this track until the end.

Ninjas and Pirates At War

One friend of mine likes One Piece, another adores Naruto and the pair of them often make trivial squabbles over which is better. That's where I got the main idea of the song. I later discovered that the Ninjas VS Pirates concept was popular for a some Internet laughter. I used an orchestra and choir to add a dramatic and touching tone to the song.

Stolen Castles

A result from playing too many video games and listening to a lot of classical music. I guarantee heavy medieval vibes.

Diamonds

This song features vocals from Asuka Langley Soryu. The song contains metal elements from Asuka's haunting death growls and screams. The lyrics are aggressive at one point, then it can quickly shift into a soft flow. On the day we wrote it, it was a stressful day for the pair of us. Asuka wrote the majority of the lyrics. We were looking for a melodic metal sound.

Ocean Prince

One of the larger ballads of the album. I was originally going to leave it without vocals but the team suggested adding vocals would give the song more of a polished touch.

Villain's Epilogue

The final song from the standard edition is set in an alternate universe in Disney's film Aladdin where Jafar killed him and managed to get Jasmine and the power that he desired. The song is about how slowly he begins to lose it all and how he fails to win Jasmine's heart. It starts eerie then eventually goes into a slow piano ballad with influences from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Tarja Turunen's Boy And The Ghost. The song includes lovely backing vocals from the talented Ouran School Choir.

The special edition of Male Bride will include five bonus tracks, and all of the songs played on piano. Villain's Epilogue is different in the special edition as it includes more production and additional verses and lyrics from Larxene. This is the most productive era in my career. I feel truly accomplished, but I know I can still create great music in the future.
