New Tokyo Jihen DVD: Senkou Shoujo

[Glathannus]

Very interesting news, but let's keep expectations realistic.

If they don't include duplicate video imagery (along with average quality audio), then 'featuring' 96kHz/24bit, means the picture quality will be terrible just like Kono Yo no Kagiri on the Heisei Fuuzoku Daiginjou DVD. I can only hope they don't do more crossfading (bait & switch to get purists to fork over extra money toward e-Onkyo). Speaking of e-Onkyo, I'll be keeping my eye on them to see if they unveil any related content.

As for "first-press featuring different versions of the PVs", do they mean you get more choices within first-press alone, or do they mean that first-press and second-press will have different versions than each other? Either way, count me out of the Traffic Cone Giraffes motion graphics bandwagon. 96kHz/24bit you can rip without an Audigy soundcard and a hacked copy of WinDVD, is a godsend, with or without motion graphics.

Audiophile release again?
For the Jihens, there seem to be an inverse relationship between quality of music and quality of sound.

i know there had to be other b-day releases than that...

Like good ol' Dr. Cox says: wrong, wrong, wrong wrooong... wrong, wrong, wrong wrong.

Same pronunciation, but different Kanjis.

-Senkou Shoujo is a song on the DVD (like Ichijiku no Hana or Kuramaya-san that only features on a DVD).
-It's a Kameda composed song.
-Has a PV with motion graphics in it.
-Features the OSCA + Killer Tune PVs. Same guy directed it too.
-First press features different versions of the PVs.

So there will probably be 2 different versions of each PV. Looks like this contains 3 tracks, but there might be more. More information to follow. All are encoded with 96k/24bit quality sound.

( http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TOBF-5540 )

I'd put this into translator program and if my program translated it correctly there's no comment about ' OSCA + Killer Tune Pvs being included', just comment about ' the director who made OSCA and Killer Tune will direct it.' HMV(http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2621439) also didn't make words about 'OSCA and Killer Tune PVs'. And Tower record(http://www.towerrecords.co.jp/sitema...DS_SORT_CD=101) announced LP version with the tentative title ' Senkou Shoujo + Single 2 Title (Analog) '. Considering all this information, I think it's kind of DVD-type single, 3 new songs, all songs with motion graphics. Of course it's just my theory and it will be cleared after more details are up.

Oh, it's not yet up to order, but there will be an vinyl release of this DVD as well. TOJT-26351.

The DVD will contain alternate takes of OSCA and/or Killer Tune; I am unsure if it is just the first pressing that features this. HMV says "Senkou Shoujo + The Two Singles (tentative) (Analogue limited edition)"

A DVD and a vinyl?

I'm not sure I like the idea of a vinyl having alternate versions (we kinda got jipped with having only the 'impure' version of Himitsu on Adult Video Soundtrack). Not unless they're including the normal versions on one side, and the alternate versions on the other side (quite literally "B-Sides").

I'll be keeping my eye on e-Onkyo for sure.

okay well according to the official fan mail, it is the pvs for those three songs in really high format and the pvs on the DVD are going to be alternate versions (so you can bet alternate footage of band members), but as far as we know at the moment, the music should still be the same.

also, hiterto unannounced, it says that in addition to the pvs for the two singles and the new Kameda track, there will be ADDITIONAL BONUS TRACK(s). They didn't specify what that is but if they are touting the new b-side for the dvd you can bet it won't be another b-side, maybe rearranged track or two from the album/single?

This DVD might just be, like pariscombo said, Tokyo Jihen's sixth single.
CDJapan says it is a "DVD single" featuring 3 brand new songs. ( http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TOBF-5540 ) So, maybe, Tokyo Jihen's 4th album is already in production?

I still think OSCA and Killer Tune have to be on it, and therefore it is a video compilation, not a single, but we shall see.
