Yes, it's true. There are still people in Japan who have an image of Ringo as a "perverted, weird girl" thanks to the Honnou video backlash (I even met one!).

I like the album but I don't like Gips at all

I used to skip Gips wherever it was, but my perception about it has slightly changed lately, and now I find it nearly enjoyable. The problem was the chorus - the verse is excellent as it is, but the chorus is a completely different world, the contrast didn't work for me and I used to find that chorus really annoying. It has grown on me in some strange way. Now I can say I don't skip it as often as I did before.

The chorus is the best part of Gibs. Especially the last chorus when the mood of the song switches from hope to desperation.

Always had an odd relationship with Gibs, stood out as the only track I really didn't like on Shouso Strip on first listen (too mainstream), then it grew on me bigtime as a song that sounded good when drunk (I wanna be with yooooou... *hic*... you get the picture). Now it probably feels skippable again.
I prefer the verse to the chorus, and saw some fan post somewhere that Kameda wrote the choruses to Gibs and 17. That can't be true if it isn't credited but I could quite believe it in the case of Gibs, it's got Kameda's feminine-Oasis anthemic sound like Superstar and Shiseikatsu. Anyway, I favour the demo version and its dreamy ending. |

What if Kameda just arranged it? After all, we know how much his arrangement can gut a song, just like the single version of Koufukuron

^ Oh I think that's a bit unfair, Kameda's an excellent arranger. I agree in that single ver. Koufukuron is the only solo SR track I never bothered getting hold of, but I always associated it with the record company, not Kameda, thanks to that unauthorised biography.
Listening to SS Gibs now. The first verse is the best bit... That always gave me the shivers on EM. |

I was looking round on ebay etc (not looking for anything in particular) but one thing struck me- there are heaps of copies of the first press all for less than 20 US. Maybe it's one of them albums that everyone has so it's hard to get rid of- you know, like when you see Nevermind in every single op shop in the west.

It looks like SS' cover picture served as an inspiration for Björk's new single "Crystalline"'s cover, haha:
