''Ya Viene el Sol'' (''The sun is coming'') is the third album recorded by Spanish synthpop band Mecano, in 1984. The album was the beginning of a more sophisticated and mature band. It included new sounds in the band's music, using the sampler/workstation Fairlight CMI. After this album the band assumed the production of their records from the start. This album includes the only song that Ana Torroja wrote with the band. The importance of the songs written by José María Cano and the fact that for the first time one of his songs was released as a single - and became the biggest hit of the summer - kept the band together, since at this point he was considering leaving the band. ==About the singles== The first single was "Japón" (Japan). It was composed by Nacho Cano and was very modern for its time. The use of the Fairlight CMI on the production of the track included the use of percussion and industrial sounds. The theme of the song is the hyper-industrialization of Japan and its life. The second single was "Busco Algo Barato" (Looking for Something Cheap), composed by Nacho Cano. The B-side for this song later became one of the most important songs by Mecano and of the 'Rock en Tu Idioma' (Rock in Your Language) movement. "Aire" (Air) originally was proposed as a single but CBS declined the proposal. This did not stop the song from becoming a single in South America. The song was edited and released as a single in Venezuela and Colombia. This song helped the band become recognized as a mature band that could do more profound songs. The third single was the album's opening track, "No pintamos nada" (We Don't Paint Anything), a techno-pop sound composed by Nacho Cano. The song is based on the Cold War and the lack of voice and vote of the common people when they try to cast an opinion about global politics. The B-side was a non-album track called "La Extraña Posición" (The Strange Position). It narrates the story of a love triangle that ends in a crime of passion. The fourth single was "Hawaii-Bombay". It was the first A-side song composed by José Cano to be released. The B-side was "El mapa de tu corazón" (The Map of Your Heart). "Hawaii-Bombay" was selected in Spain as the hit of the summer, for the tremendous success it had on all the radio stations in the country. It was recorded seven years later in English but was never released due to the band's hiatus. The fifth single was "Ya viene el sol" (Here Comes the Sun). It was a non-official single release in Mexico and the rest of Latin America which had a moderate success. The track "Me non parlez vous français" (bastardized French: "Me non parlez vous Français" -> "Mais non parlez vous Français" -> "Just don't speak French") was recorded as a demo for the album but was discarded later in the recording session; it subsequently became "Abracadabra", a song by Alaska used as soundtrack for the TV show ''La Bola de Cristal'' (The Crystal Ball). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ya Viene el Sol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
