Hotel Mexico are here to blow your earlobes.

Hotel Mexico - Its Twinkle by Second Royal Records
This track;Its Twinkle comes off the recently released His Jewelled Letter Box. It is literally the musical equivalent of descending into some sort of ridiculously awesome diamond cave. With it's radiant guitar melodies, ambient bells, airy synths and more reverb than any respectable song has the right to employ.

I LOVE YOU by Yutaka Ozaki

Ozaki Yutaka - I LOVE YOU
Translation by: Fantasiimaker

I love you
just for now, I don't want to hear sad songs
I love you
escaping and escaping, I finally got to this room

this isn't a love where I was forgiven for everything
the two of us are like abandoned cats
this room is like an empty box, covered in fallen leaves
so you, with a crying voice like a kitten's...

*on this creaking bed, instead of holding gentleness
if we can hold each other tightly
and then we'll close our eyes again
with a sad song, for this love not to fade

I love you
the two of us, who are too young
there's an untouchable secret in our love
I love you
I can't arrive at that, in my life right now

the love that piles up and lives on as one
we're only seeing a dream and being hurt
hearing "I love you" over and over,
you can't even go on living without this love

Ayaka - I LOVE YOU
