1. Keyboard/guitar based duo from Uppsala, Sweden, consisting of Jonas Tiljander and Lanchy Orre (members of Brainbombs). Formed in 2010, they released their debut album in January 2013 on Skrammel records, inspired by minimalism, drone, psych, kraut, space, etc.
2. BREMEN is a pop / techno trio from Kanagawa, Japan, comprising Ely (Singer),Kohjiro (Synthesizer & Background Vocal) and HAIOKA (Mixer).
In early 2005, they were completely unknown, but their shows were of quality high enough to provide them with much attention from radio stations.
In late 2005, they were invited to perform at a couple of music events hosted by famous Japanese radio stations and made themselves a name as a high-quality live artist. Because of that, their songs made their way to the charts way before the major debut.
They participated in a lot of famous japanese music festivals, such as "Summer Sonic 06" (along with Daft Punk, Muse, Emilie Simons and Nelly Furtado).
Besides playing the big music festivals, they toured all over Japan to promote their CDs.
On Febuary 21st 2007, they released their highly anticipated album "Stardust Orion"
The follow-up and first full-length album "Precious Story" hit the shelves on September 26th 2007.

BREMEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そう いま旅に出よう
誰にも言わず 飛び乗った電車で
窓から見えた青空がまぶしくて
いま キラキラキラ 光の矢と走り出そう
色 かたち 人 見るもの全て
誰も知らない 夏の匂いがした
いつかは君とこの場所で逢いましょう
ああ 色とりどり 光の矢と走り出そう
わけもなく あてもなく 道を行く一人旅
通り過ぎる風の中 遠くなる夕焼けに
そっと手を振ってつぶやくの
「明日また逢いましょう」
いま キラキラキラ 光の矢と走り出そう
広がってく echo
重なってく echo
In BREMEN's song "ECHO," the singer expresses the desire to travel and explore the world. The beginning of the song suggests excitement and anticipation for the adventure ahead. The singer packs only the essentials, which is their palpitations, suggesting that they are willing to leave everything behind and embark on this journey. The second verse describes the world as a treasure trove of colors, shapes, and experiences. The idea that this treasure hasn't been found yet, and only the singer knows the smell of the summer, further emphasizes the loneliness of the journey. However, it ends optimistically, suggesting that someday the singer and the person they care for will meet at this place where the singer has found their treasure.
The third verse describes the singer's journey. They are traveling alone, aimlessly walking on the road, watching the sunset, and waving goodbye. Despite the loneliness, the singer is happy to be on this journey, and the song ends by echoing how everything expands and overlaps.
Overall, the song is about feeling lost and trying to find a direction in life. It shows the mindset when someone is excited to leave their comfort zone and enter an unknown world to find something new, like a treasure.
