Collaborations
Collaborations are special songs that usually are done with another artist. They usually aren't available on Missile Innovation's CDs, either. I've listed all of their collaborations below, in chronological order. New collaborations are always displayed on the first page.
Sometimes the entire band will collaborate with an artist; other times, only 1-2 members will do a collaboration. As a result, I've used bold red to indicate who did which collaboration.There are two ways you can sample the songs:
1) HTML: This is the original way I had it set up, where you'll have to manually download and listen to each file. Also, if you hover over the links, you'll see the kanji title of each song.2) Flash Player (and Hear all collabs): This flash player will let you listen to each sample in REAL TIME. (^^) Occasionally you can choose between different playlists (especially if the CD is a remake/tribute to another artist's work).
Here's a quick summary of how the flash player works (image opens in a new window)
Click on 
to access the lyrics. ALL lyrics will open in ONE popup (i.e.: all of the lyrics share the same popup). This way, you won't have a TON of popups open. Besides, you can't read two lyrics at the same time, right? (^^) But if you want to open the lyrics in more than one window, feel free to right-click the links and choose "Open in New Window".
Lastly, to make the pages load faster, the collaborations have been split into several pages (hence why I alternated/color-coded the links).

19) Yoake

TIME
(Album - 10 tracks) +Produced by: BounDEE records
+Catalogue #: DQC-61
+Release Date: April 23, 2008
Flash Player+More Info:
This song is by Yeux., an Indies artist. And yes, she DOES have a period at the end of her name. And, her name isn't the only "odd" thing with this song. For some reason, most sites (including her official website) list "Yoake" as Track #10. But iTunes Japan (which is where I first got the song from) lists it as Track #2. (o_O) However, since most sites list it as Track #10, I decided to do the same thing.

Ryo (and Dai Nagao) played guitar in this song. (^^) "Misaki" was the opening theme to a drama series called "Shinjuku Bousou Kyuukyuu-tai". Takako Uehara starred in the drama series (and she's also another artist that Dai Nagao worked with).

Misaki
(CD Single - 4 tracks) +Produced by: avex trax
+Catalogue #: AVCD-30181
+Release Date: December 16, 2000
+More Info:
This is the B-side/bonus track on the "Misaki" CD single. Ryo (and Dai Nagao) played guitar in this song as well. Also, the lyrics are...kinda short and repetitive. Which also means they're kinda fun and catchy, and annoying at the same time. Yeah. xD

I am...
(Album - 15 tracks) +Produced by: avex trax
+Catalogue #: AVCD-17037
+Release Date: January 1, 2001
+More Info:
This is a hidden track on Ayumi Hamasaki's album, "I am...". It plays
right after "Endless sorrow" (which is track 15). If I recall correctly, the song didn't even have a name until MUCH later on, which is one reason why lyrics for it were hard to find.
