I dunno.

wow, I'm really susprised that Gunjoubiyori is the least popular! For me, this song is really her best song since she started Tokyo Jihen. When I listened to Kyoiku for the first time, Gunjoubiyori really stood out together with Sounan. But the power of Gunjoubiyori really won me over, together with the title ;)

It's because we're not only rating the main songs themselves, we're rating each single's CD overall. Each CD has the main song, then extra tracks known as "B-Sides", though nowhere near enough to be a complete album. We're judging each single's CD in their entirety, rather than only comparing A-Sides (the main songs listed here).

Gunjou Biyori was pretty big for me, upon first hearing it within the album, but we're not doing 1 track versus 1 track comparisons here - we're doing 3 versus 3 (1 A-Side and 2 B-Sides), and that's why Shuraba is ranking fairly high.

Whoops, I was a bit too fast there ;)
In that case I wouldn't know, I only buy albums really. Thanks for the clarification though :)

Although "Koi wa Maboroshi" is my favorite single cover, Sounan is definitely my favorite single because of "Kokoro" (and "Sounan.") :wub:

Sounan > Shuraba > OSCA=Killer Tune > Gunjou Biyori

"Gunjou Biyori" is also one of my least favorite TJ tracks. But I find that it's not as bad as I think every so often I hear it. I don't think I could listen to it often, though. Anyway, would anyone change their vote to Killer Tune now? :huh:

Which single cover is everyone's favorite?? >_<;; I love the Kyoiku covers, but I think I'll have to choose Shuraba's. *_* And did anyone make the assumption yet that OSCA's cover features Ukigumo's hand/wrist and Killer Tune's features Izawa's hand/wrist? (Or maybe it's so blatantly obvious no one felt need to mention it. @_@;;)

"Maybe I will kiss you slowly... maybe quickly... maybe na...T na...T"

It's like she's stressing the differences btwn English & Japanese, by not pronouncing it as "na...Tou"

o_.o I think you posted in the wrong topic, NYJ!

Actually, Killer Tune is one of my favorite songs by them, but the whole single is not my favorite even now. I would, though, put OSCA as my favorite single now. I really love Kaban no Nakami and Pinocchio moreso than koi wa maboroshi and rakujitsu.

As for my favorite cover, it is a tie between Koi wa Maboroshi and DYNAMITE :D.

Oh dang it, I meant cover as in album jacket. :ph43r:;;

HEDOfloe 2007.10.18 01:22 PM

WELL, in that case, :D, I'd say Shuraba is my favorite.

Gunjou Biyori, it's a great song. Also I absolutely love The Lady is a Tramp. Also Kao is pretty decent too, which is surprising cuz I usually hate at least 1 song on each single cd. Not this one though.
