http://www.utadanet.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2495&forum=3 The reason behind Take 5's sudden ending My speculated reason for the sudden ending of take 5 is this: (This is only spectaculation. I read the album as a story) As Hikki mentioned in the SSTV interview, the album deals with Death. So my guess is that the sudden ending means Death and possibly a sudden one. As I am open to any views on life after death. One of the beliefs I have is reincarnation. So, the end of take 5 signifies the end of an individual's life. and his spirit reincarnates and takes a different form. i.e. it become a child again and lives on earth as we can see from boku wa kuma. Then we follow this individual as it grows from a child to teen (in Rainbow-colored Bus) and finally to an adult (Flavor of Life) Notice that there is a version of FOL already earlier on the album. This shows that the person earlier on who had died during Take 5 is the same as the only we are hearing about now. The person is only taking a different form To put it graphically <-------------------------------------------------------> FOL (ballad) Take 5 Boku wa Kuma RCB FOL ---------------------------------------------------- Same song but different versions, same theory applies to my idea of the HEART STATION perso's life. ----------------------------------------------------------- 这个老外的解释我的觉得很妙也很合理耶^^ 他认为整张专辑是有故事性的 简单地说： Flavor of Life - Ballad (就…人生百态噜) Take 5 (是首死亡的歌，而最後突然的接束，意味着是突然的死去，无常的感觉) 我是熊 (灵魂以不同的形式重生，从童年开始) 七彩巴士 (成长到青年) Flavor of Life (又再度变成大人，准备历经酸甜苦辣的人生，而不同版本的FOL 也许又意味着，这次，是不同的人生呢！) -- ※ 编辑: langwon 来自: 59.117.14.97 (03/21 00:24)
