Two of my favorite KSK-era songs. When I was first getting into SR, I downloaded one song (Kokode, Gibusu, Poltergeist) from each of the albums. Kokode was OK and I loved her attitude on Gibusu, but Poltergeist was the song that sold me on her. Such a lovely song.

Truthfully, I generally prefer the Electric Mole arrangements of the songs. Kuki in particular. I'm not a fan of the album version. The EM arrangements are less ambitious and simpler, but that works for me. Poltergeist is the only song performed on EM that I clearly prefer the album version. The EM jazz ending is cool, but the song loses so much with the piano arrangement.
