2) Penicillin were a German band (based in the town of Kottweiler) rooted in jazz-rock.
Formed in 1971 by Fred Felder (vocals) and Waldemar Ruth (drums), they had changed a lot over the years before their debut recordings. This was down to the fact that the band was often a large metamorphic troupe of up to 12 or 15 musicians, based around a pretty constant core of five, and that they'd experimented with everything from Hörspiel through to classical, combining such elements into their own unique sound.

Kioku no naka no amai toiki
Boku no karada ni kara ami tsuki
Itami wo wasure sumi iou taru
Yomi no sekai e ima tabidatsu
Kieru hana takeru hitomi
Itami wo wasure sumi iou taru
Yomi no sekai e ima tamidatsu

The song "Chaos" by PENICILLIN speaks to the pain of memories and the desire to escape into a world of fantasy. The opening lines of the song, "Eins...zwei...drei...vier" immediately grab the listener's attention and set the tone for the piece. The first verse describes a sweet sigh held in memory, the feeling of cloying sweets and the after-effects of pain that never really fades, making it difficult to move forward.
The second verse opens with the phrase "Kieru hana takeru hitomi," which translates to "Fading flowers, tearing eyes." The singer is referencing inward sorrow, showing that despite outward appearances, they are weighed down by the past. They use illusions as a form of escape, taking refuge in a world of stories, imagination, and fantasy.
Throughout the chorus, the singer begs for someone to listen and to believe in them, without letting them go, pleading for them to stay. They compare their fear of losing that person to waking up from a sweet dream, intoning that they feel vulnerable and unsure about themselves, relying on this person's faith in them. The song overall showcases the difficulty of breaking free from the pain of the past and the importance of having someone to believe in.

ギターの千聖は当時のV系の中でのギターの腕前が評判よかった！

@2741 K-D 腕前っていうか、千聖のギターはメロディアスな感じだと思います。まぁ、彼にしか出来ない感じがします😄兄貴とライブに行っ時に兄貴がポツリと言ってました。「いいギターだなぁ～」って😊

懐かしいな。学生時代アスピリンというコピーバンドを結成してこの曲もよく演奏してました。ペニシリンに限らずルナシーもジャンヌも初期の方がV系という感じの曲が多くて好きです。

penicillinさん、最近めっちゃくちゃ聴いているんですが、この曲はお初でした。
落ち着いたアコースティックギターの音色から一変、ビジュアルらしいリズミカルな曲調が素晴らしいですね。
