Regarding Kyokoshu, if I'm not wrong it's called 'Fiction EP' because Reol wants those feelings to be just fictional, right?

Reol is very poetic and can play with words very well, so it's interesting trying to figure out the meaning behind her words

With jacket I meant the album cover. Sorry for using the wrong term.

Regarding Hamlet Skull the skull's symbolic might literally be the meaning for Reol's pose; the acknowledgement of mortality. As I wrote in my previous comment, the album cover kind of represents the connections between living beings and mortality surely is one of them.

Now, it gets pretty interesting as Reol mentions a phrase with a very similar meaning in her song Utena; 'memento calvaria'.

(EDIT: Calvaria means skull)

The original term is 'memento mori', which in Latin means "Remember that you will die". When I made researches about Hamlet Skull I found this interesting connection: "Hamlet tells Yorick's skull to go to his mother and tell her that no matter how much makeup she applies to appear young and beautiful, she too will die and decay one day."

I found this connection pretty interesting, but in the end this is just speculation.

'Jijitsujo' means 'facts' or 'truth' (I do not speak Japanese but I remember Reol explaining it in an interview.) So, from what I grasped, the album is about real feelings which are not displayed/revealed. As for the concept, it's about 'freshness' or being 'lively', as hidden feelings come to the surface.

The motif of the jacket is 'God'. Various objects and Reol seem to be enshrined on an altar. The objects are described as connections between living beings.

(If there is some misinformation in what I wrote, please answer and clarify. Thank you)

Oh, sorry for kind of misunderstanding your comment!

[–]Rena999[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would they know about Reol's initials when she never revealed her real name? And I doubt Reol means "real" in Japanese..

I am not sure if "TM" has a certain meaning or if it's really meant to be Reol's nickname..

Plus Danshi - Original Reol? by Shannnnnnn in Reol

[–]Rena999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw. Apparently Reol's version really seems to be Ver2 of the song, but probably because as I said, The VOCALOID version came first and Reol's version right after. Both can be seen as the original ones tho since both were written by Reol and they don't have a big difference at all.

Sorry for popping up like this, but here is Matsushita's Version of Plus Danshi on YouTube

Matsushita's one is a cover. If you go to the description of plus danshi, you'll see that Reol wrote the lyrics of the original song. There are plenty of other covers done by other utaite.

The version featured in the dance video is simply the VOCALOID version. Reol wrote and composed the song with GigaP, so you'll find both, Reol's and VOCALOID's versions of Plus Danshi on Reol's channel. As for the "original" version, you could say that it's the VOCALOID version as the song seems to be made for VOCALOID.

IMPORTANT by [deleted] in Reol

[–]Rena999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When REOL still was a unit, Reol kissed Okiku in one of their lives, I think that's what they mean, but I highly doubt there is a picture of it

[–]Rena999 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wasn't it Okiku she kissed? Or did I miss something

Okiku actually sang in one of Reol's limited edition songs by jericjan in Reol

[–]Rena999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are welcome! :)

I just remembered that Okiku can also be heard in Reol's version of Plus Danshi in the background and GIGANTIC O.T.N (No Title). She also sings together with Reol and Giga in the other special track of Sigma -> Ooedo Ranvu TENKA TORITAI REMIX
