New Jihen single 12.02.09

[JimmyKoria]

Has anything been said about how many tracks are on the single? I really hope its 3. I was little tacken a back by SG when it only had 2 tracks for the single. I'm far too spoiled and used to the 3.

I'm actually a little amazed that you quoted Morphine, because that's exactly what song I was referring to! I actually don't understand at all what that song is about, but I think it's really underrated. "Aisaika no Choushoku" is also really mundane at times, talking about "rare tv" and grocery shopping. lol.

Your my new hero! Hahaha. I always thought of Aisaika no Choushoku and Yattsuke Shigoto as siblings, Aisaika is more perky sounding but shes kinda of sarcastic and bitter. Yattsuke is the sister who is bored and wouldn't mind laying on the train tracks....I'm not sure why I think of songs as people though @_@

out of respect for their wife/girlfriend maybe. Kame and Uki have been with Ringo the longest in her career among the four guys. her time with them in the video might be time spent with a friend or brother?

well since we already have the name of track 2 ('Gaman' which everyone is translating as 'Endurance' but could also mean 'Deal with it' or 'Keep Going') and no one has said anything about 3 tracks, I'm thinking it is most definetly 2 tracks.

I keep going back and forth with it. It really is a good song but the vocal melody could easily be used in any pop stars song and its totally lame (but way too easy) to imagine anyone else in japanese pop singing it.

Gaman's official english title is "frustration" and it has been confirmed for weeks that there are only two tracks on the single. all of which is available in this thread but also officially on the kronekodow site, in english to boot. internets, you guys should use it.

The internet is a scary place and I tread with caution. If you were to ever find me on facebook neko, I am 96% certain we would have at least 2 mutual friends.

are you admitting to looking me up on facebook or what? I've had several people I don't know commenting on public information you can see on facebook without me friending you. it is enough to make me want to delete my entire account...

No no, I understand your frustration and I've considered it too but being in Japan, it is basically the only thing that keeps me in contact with most of my friends from the US. But if I were really interested (like when I meet up with people on the internet to jam or when I meet someone extremely strange and want to know what they're about), I would probably do a bit of stalking before hand.

But from what I've gathered here on the boards casually reading through the more interesting posts (most of which you reply to and sometimes with pretty personal) I would have a hard time beleiving it if we did not have at least one. Spends time in boston and hawaii with a particular sexual orientation....sounds like at least 10 people I've met (at least one of them likes Ringo but I'm pretty sure that wasn't you) ....and I know how tight the Hawaiin scene is in Boston, it's like they're back in the islands, even if you don't want a part, you probably know a lot of them.

That's assuming I actually did read boston/hawaii and didnt imagine it.

thats interesting. well, I kind of grew up all over and my family has been outside of Boston since I was in second grade. I went to school in MA and then to Japan and moved to Hawai'i in fall 08 to be closer to my bf, who has been here for a long time (he is japanese), but I don't know any of the hawaiian's in Boston, I'm not really integrated into the hawaiian culture or community that well, I pretty much just live here. what is the name of the guy you know who likes ringo? chances are I probably know them...do you have facebook?

Two and a bit days to go before Phase 2's first TV feature since Variety =D The next time I'm on, I'll either be saying how much better 3min sounds live, or deciding that I've changed my mind about going to Ultra C!
