Please bare with me (You will notice these patterns in the chords shown in the video) - The verse has chords that ask for an answer (IV-V) Which in the D major SCALE is (G-A) - The pre-chorus is a variation of the axis chord progression used in western pop music (vi-IV-I-V) Which in the scale of D major in this song is (Bm-G-D-A) (These roman numerals are called scale degrees.) - The drop uses a variation of their used Royal road progression in japanese music (IV-V-iii-vi) Which in the scale or key of D Major would be (G-A-F#m-Bm) - The part where it had A# in the drop is a tritone interval, turning the F#m chord into F#. Informations about the chords: * The I chord is the first chord of a major scale and is usually happy and resolved (In this song, the I chord is D) * The V chord is the dominant chord and is the most powerful seeking for resolution (when i say resolution, it means it wants to go to the tonic or some other chord that feels resolved) (In this song, the V chord is A) * The IV chord is the subdominant which can go towards the V or just resolve in the I or tonic (In this song, the IV chord is G) * The iii chord is the mediant which stands in between the Tonic and Dominant, it's used in japan music and when the 3rd interval is changed, some sort of tritone substitution happens (In this song, the iii chord is F#m) (The tritone substitution is F#) (Note: This other chord can have a strong sense of wanting to go to vi which is coincidentally the next chord in the sequence) * The vi chord is the submediant chord and is also the minor key of the scale in a way (B minor is the same as the key of D major) and it's a tensed chord that seeks resolution (In this song, the vi chord is Bm) * The ii chord which seemed to be used is the supertonic chord and it wants to go to the dominant chord or V chord (In this song, the ii chord is Em) The pre-chorus makes it feel like it's bouncing emotionally just like in pop music (Tension (vi) - Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - Resolve (I) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE) (V)) It feels repeated because V wants to go somewhere. The verse's 1st part though where it cycles between IV and V like in some rock music (Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V)) in the drop though it's: (Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V) - I am neutral and want to resolve (iii) - I am tense (vi) The tritone version tho (Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V) - OK COME ON LET ME TRANSITION SOMEWHERE (III) - I am tense (vi) Notice how the drop has no sense of much resolution making it feel like it's building up over time. Just a sidenote: There are variations so not everything I said about the chord progressions are accurate. This song is beautiful!
Idk why but these Japanese songs always have sooo beautiful chords .
Please bare with me (You will notice these patterns in the chords shown in the video)
- The verse has chords that ask for an answer (IV-V)
Which in the D major SCALE is (G-A)
- The pre-chorus is a variation of the axis chord progression used in western pop music (vi-IV-I-V)
Which in the scale of D major in this song is (Bm-G-D-A)
(These roman numerals are called scale degrees.)
- The drop uses a variation of their used Royal road progression in japanese music (IV-V-iii-vi)
Which in the scale or key of D Major would be (G-A-F#m-Bm)
- The part where it had A# in the drop is a tritone interval, turning the F#m chord into F#.
Informations about the chords:
* The I chord is the first chord of a major scale and is usually happy and resolved (In this song, the I chord is D)
* The V chord is the dominant chord and is the most powerful seeking for resolution (when i say resolution, it means it wants to go to the tonic or some other chord that feels resolved) (In this song, the V chord is A)
* The IV chord is the subdominant which can go towards the V or just resolve in the I or tonic (In this song, the IV chord is G)
* The iii chord is the mediant which stands in between the Tonic and Dominant, it's used in japan music and when the 3rd interval is changed, some sort of tritone substitution happens (In this song, the iii chord is F#m) (The tritone substitution is F#) (Note: This other chord can have a strong sense of wanting to go to vi which is coincidentally the next chord in the sequence)
* The vi chord is the submediant chord and is also the minor key of the scale in a way (B minor is the same as the key of D major) and it's a tensed chord that seeks resolution (In this song, the vi chord is Bm)
* The ii chord which seemed to be used is the supertonic chord and it wants to go to the dominant chord or V chord (In this song, the ii chord is Em)
The pre-chorus makes it feel like it's bouncing emotionally just like in pop music (Tension (vi) - Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - Resolve (I) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE) (V)) It feels repeated because V wants to go somewhere.
The verse's 1st part though where it cycles between IV and V like in some rock music (Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V))
in the drop though it's: (Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V) - I am neutral and want to resolve (iii) - I am tense (vi)
The tritone version tho
(Wanting to go somewhere (IV) - I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE (V) - OK COME ON LET ME TRANSITION SOMEWHERE (III) - I am tense (vi)
Notice how the drop has no sense of much resolution making it feel like it's building up over time.
