And in Adult we see Uki's wonderful contribution in Toumei Ningen. Truly wonderful.
I totally agree. I do not see why Ringo should be criticized for "letting" others contribute to the band. Even the idea that she has to "let" people do things is ridiculous.

I love Kenka Joutou (First Class Brawl). It's so suiting for the Adult theme.
It's about a fight where it doesn't matter who gets hurt the most; it's about who can look damn good while doing it.

I really like that song too. I like how it starts of slow and then just explodes in the intro.

The way the tracks play end-to-end was one of the best features of this album, in my opinion. Shiina only really does this on three of her albums if you count this as one

I love that too!! My favorite is the transition from Yukiguni to Kabuki. Genius

I'm still amazed of Izawa in Tasogare Naki. At work a heard it several times only with my right earphone. I never even heard before that there are two different solos at the end. And the right one's timing is SO perfect. I love it

That is the song I skip the most often while listening to Adult... Dunno quite why, I just don't find it as good as the rest.

can anyone tell me why track nine (... ningen) is so hated? I have never heard the 'other' version, and I love the album version. it's 'cute' but it's not like she has 10 songs that sounds like this. this is an incidental fun track. even if you dont like it, it's just an experiment gone wrong for you. giving it a 10 sounds like you dont want shiina to experiment

Track 9 should be Tasogare Naki?

If you are referring to Toumei Ningen, have fun with the DO version.

Well you said it yourself, it's an experiment gone WRONG. I myself don't see it as an experiment because SR experimentations don't sound like that. I know it when she experiments, don't ask me how, but I can hear it. SR is a perfectionist and never does anything wrong. At least not until now. I'm probably the #1 Toumei Ningen hater on this forum, so I'll tell you why I hate the song - the guitar.

(Ukigumo fans, say something in defence!)
