April News

We will start up a monthly news update to keep everyone notified on what's going on with LIGHT&BITTER, what things to expect / look forward to.
We'll post quick blurbs in the Discussion section of our YT channel, but the blog will go in-depth and even sneak some previews in, who knows.
Otherwise, we've set up a rough schedule of 1 song release per month, hence 2 albums per year if things go well.
We will try our best to be diligent☆

UPCOMING:

  1. Our first EP is well under way! This is the promised free album we've been talking about ever since our debut. It will feature "Tuesday Love Blues," "My Sadako Girl," and "La Partida; Calma." Currently, we are roughly 70% completed and tanking throughhhh
  2. "La Partida; Calma" - this is Riido's first song with LIGHT&BITTER, as well as our entry for the MAIKA contest. If Remo's word means anything, it's utterly amazing☆ An unused scene for the PV has been posted, which you can view here.
    We will definitely upload this before May.
  3. Trailer video - A basic outline has already been drafted. Ideally, this will be released in early May, but realistically closer to mid- / late- May [or god forbid, June].
  4. Tumblr - Having another outlet with the VOCALOID community! This opening hasn't started yet, but after our EP release we will get to it as soon as we can.
PLANNING:
  1. Covers - we are thinking of making covers with our own take on the instrumentals. This idea is still in its infancy, currently we haven't really given it serious thought. If this plan does follow through, Riido will provide vocals or another VOCALOID will be singing. The schedule will go around 2 weeks per cover, depending on circumstances during the time.
  2. Artbook - This is more of a solo project by Remo than a group project, but the digital-only artbook will contain full versions of PV scenes [if any are unposted by L&B blog or Remo's personal blog], sketches / concepts, and any unreleased art relating to L&B. Since Remo essentially uploads 90% - 98% of artworks, this will most likely be a very slow project to accumulate... unless suggestions are given regarding what the community would like to see in this potential artbook.

lyrics by Lizts + Remo

There's this girl who always hides her face
No one knew how she looked,
it was all just an empty space.
But that fateful day, I have caught a glimpse
And couldn't seem to believe with my eyes
Right there, I was mesmerized

But even past her chilling sight,    
With sweeping hair dark as the night
Was a light that shines my days so bright

But wait, something's not right
There's only 7 days now left in my life

Something had changed inside of me,
I didn't know how it could be
But deep inside my heart,
knew that we are so apart
But even when she passed me by,
I looked into her eyes
And it took a while for me to see,
that she's so perfect for me

Am I being too hasty
Or maybe I'm just going crazy
Or did I read this wrong
There's no way this love goes this strong
Yet my mind is telling me that I shouldn't go and run away
Though I'll die that day
there is nothing left anyway

My dark fears all began to fade
These thoughts I'll tell it to her straight
Before all this becomes too late

I knew that I was cursed
But on the 7th day,
she burst to tears and put my mind to rest

I confessed, It's all okay
you don't have to be alone
'Cause time flies by with you behind me
These memories, I'll hold it dearly
and I will gladly give my life to you
So find your way and carry through

Something had changed inside of me,
I didn't know how it could be
And deep inside my heart,
knew that we are gonna part
But when I opened up my eyes
she went into the skies

And I see you again
