祭り上げる familiar angel
ただ無口な mob-bish vulgus
空を駆けて
海を流れ
砂漠揺れ
たどりつく CARNAVAL

肌につけるかおりは musk rose
髪に飾る 羽には peacock
ここにはない
-ists, -isms
ひと夜だけの夢
ただの CARNAVAL

招かれざる客には Formalist
扉に鍵をかけた Pessimist
汗を流し
踊り続け
酒を煽り
それだけの CARNAVAL
CARNAVAL

大貫妙子さんの曲で、1番好き👍

@akkoakko286

エキゾチック感はユーミン越えてますね✨不思議な不思議な魅力に溢れている。

発売当時はとにかくYMOファミリーを聞きあさり、よく聞きましたァ〜
教授のシンセと幸宏様、憲司さま、まさにYMO! カッコいい!
でも30数年後に偶然、都会を聞いて、その前からの実力に感動しました!
プラシボセシボとともに、私のなかの名曲です!
改めてYMOファミリーに乾杯🎉
また、憲司様、幸宏様、坂本様に献杯。
有難うございました。

最初にこの曲を聴いた時、どこかで聴いたエッセンスで溢れてるな…と思っていたら、その後ラジオで詳しい解説があり、バックの演奏が YMO、アレンジが教授だと分かって歓喜したのを覚えています🎵

@yt2907

何もかも美しい!の一言。

@user-oz9fu7hj2i

教授のリードシンセ。永遠に響き続ける。

高橋さんのドラム。RIP YUKIHIRO

@user-bo2op5vj9m

ああ、1980年代の音やな〜♪

@user-eg7qs3ld5q

大貫さんの曲でこんなキレたようなキーボードソロをやったら、YMOでそれ以上のことをやらないわけにはいかず、その結果がアルバム「BGM」の「Music Plans」の暴力的なシンセの音色だったと解釈している。
