I agree with this.


That solo does not work for the song. And I'm still not crazy about Shiina's singing in the chrorus. At least it doesn't sound like shes "going out of her way" to sound grating tho, it's just a consequence of the song.

I dunno, I hate being a party pooper every damn time.This is a "better" song, but ehh, I'm still not very crazy about it. The chorus....well the verses are great. Maybe when the higher qualities come out >_>

I like the video, hwever I hate videos that go out of their way to not show you the rest of the band and just the front person. It could do without the dancing.

and oh god, is"Wet Tj" gonna become the new "Panties!"? >_<

Can't tell if it's better than osca yet.

I have no freaking problem with Shiina being over exposed here. They owe us for all the shiina that we missed from the Osca video

See, i think they shoulda not showed, or obscured, the band the band in the Osca vid. Ala the "Crazy Beat" video, even before I saw the similar Blur vid I thought they shoulda just kept it on the dancers.

I know, obviously why to focus on Shiina here, even if she wasn't "Shiina," she'd still be the one singing the lyrics. So obviously, there'll show te frontperson more often. But when you almost entirely forego the other bandmembers' faces, to me its like a slap in the band's face. Like they're not important enough to be seen. Its supposed to be a band, each member's supposed to be as important (in most cases.) --This isn't a strictly "Kiler Tune" criticism, theres a bazillion other offenders that dothis.

QFT, verses>chorus
however the Screeching Shiina is back, that's what the original Shiina sounds like when she reaches the high-pitches, unlike the Squeaking Shiina in OSCA.

the song still works fine on me, very fine.

too much Ringo in the video?

iunno about that

but I would much rather see Izawa himself walking all sexy in a wet white t-shirt down that street mmmmmm ;;gay moment;;

as for people talking about a solo, I don't even recall a solo and I have listened to the song a few times through, which just makes me feel like the entire thing beginning to end is well composed and fits well. The only thing that sticks out in my mind was Ringo's chorus, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I remember my first listening of Tegami, I wasn't sure if her vocals were really amazing or lacking and I have that same feeling here. Funny how both these songs are end products of Izawa....although, they haven't released the full credits for the single so I'm interested to know if this is all Izawa or if Ringo penned the vocals?

This > OSCA. Hopefully I'll grow to like their new sound better... I'm still really excited about the album though. It took me a while to really appreciate ADULT.

Thanks for the link! ^^

XDD the dance at the end lmaoo
RINGO showed EMOTION in a PV.. haha she was going to cry.
uhm..
oh, yeah I loved OSCA. this is a good "combo" with the single. it made sense why they released OSCA first, as that was the energetic summer single, while this track is sort of a power ballad of summer ending.. speaking of which.. one more month until uni starts again..

the point is, just listening to this makes me realize why I love Tokyo Jihen. they combine so many classical elements.. everyone here is so vivid and raw.

speaking of which.
'incidentally' Ringo didn't write this song?

<3 pariscombo

recap;

isn't this PV sort of about motivation?
ringo is going up an escalator looking great, she sees the sun and has high ambition. she is going to the top! but once she reaches the top, she seeings it is pouring rain, and everyone is running.. but no, she isn't dampened by that fact, she keeps on walking.
