Before Shanadoo
Manami, Junko and Chika were known as the idol group 'Vivace' under the label Avex. There was also a forth member named Kotomi Ban but she left the 'Vivace' in 2005. The group mainly existed for promotion purposes. They released trading cards, photobooks and two songs, 'Flame Love' and 'On My Own'. These songs should remain their only ones until the girls decided to team up with Marina as the lead singer to form 'Shanadoo'.

As a note, 'Vivace' are still sort of active. Their last live performance was on 02/04/2006 during Avex' Girl's Box ~Spring Special Live~. Also, Manami, Junko and Chika are still working as a models.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shanadoo's song "Hypnotized" depict a love-struck girl who falls under the spell of a charming and handsome guy. The chorus repeatedly sings "Hypnotized" emphasizing the girl's state of being entranced by his "tender eyes" and "risouteki dawa handsome guy" (charismatic, stylish, and handsome guy).

The first verse translates to "Can't believe this moment will last for eternity. Don't have faith that we'll ever meet. The White King already found the princess from the other side, but we're Shanadoo, the other princess." The girl seems to feel like this moment of being hypnotized and infatuated by this handsome guy will be eternal but at the same time feels uncertain about whether they have a chance to be together. She hints that she and the guy are outsiders or "the other ones," but they can still fall in love.

The second verse talks about the girl feeling weak under the spell of his "tender eyes" and her mind being confused about whether he is truthful or lying to her. The line "Dancing Cheek to Cheek, Love Story kaimaku?" suggests they might be dancing together, and the girl wonders if this is just the beginning of their love story.
