Some more triple meter tunes:
Kyoiku: Yume no Ato (3)

Lives: Kao (one of my favorite 3/4 melodies ever)

Bringing it back on topic. Variety, unlike most SR/TJ releases, has only two triple moments, and everything else is straight 8. The most obvious is Sake to Geko's "Yuu moment," featuring my much-beloved piano. Seriously, after so many straight 4 songs with wurlys and organs, suddenly switching to 3 with piano was a ray of sunshine.

Variety's second triple moment is very short and isn't technically triple meter. Backing up: even when the tunes weren't written in triple meter, a good bit of SR's stuff, and a bunch of TJ's stuff had a lot of swung tunes or sections, which almost counts as triple meter. (It's not exact, but the quarter is often subdivided into three parts.) Variety continues that trend in its first song, but it stops there. The chorus in the first tune, Lamp, is swung.

But that's it for triple on the whole album. *sigh* Strange -- I'm used to more variety from TJ.
