Shounen Alice Album Concept

Continuing the archives from my old site, here is the album concept from Maaya's album 'Shounen Alice' which was kindly translated back in the day by Miyuki.

Shounen Alice Album Concept
'What does one have to do to describe the self well? Gender, age, nationality, race, name, "title". Symbols to fulfill these criteria, we have many of them. But these symbols, how much can they tell of the whole? For example, just within me, a lone human being: masculine and feminine, child-like and adult-like, strength and weakness, tenderness and coldness, such directly-opposed elements exist together.

But if I must mark this disk with one symbol, I think "Boy Alice" will do the job well. Just as all people do, I carry many contradictions and infinities. If I am to express such emotions, then I think these words will do the job well.'
