"Mummy, you should have seen me, I made this killer tune it was wicked and killer and everyone was dancing to it even when it was raining."

"That's nice, dear," says Mrs.Izawa, ushering him inside. She turns to the rest of the band. "He didn't misbehave, did he? Wasn't being a bad influence on little Uki and Ringo, I hope."

"Tee hee, quite the contrary, Mrs.Izawa," says Kameda, raising his wrist and letting it fall. "Quite the contrary."

^ hahahahahahahhaa I love when the forums get like this. Kameda just brings out everyone's impulse to write gay Jihen fanfic-esque parodies, or at least joke about doing so.

people who are posting news, can you please put *sources* The b-side is listed on EMI's Tokyo Jihen page but the two main news sources, kronekodow and its somewhat of a mirror tokyojihen.com don't have the single listed yet.

anyways, for those interested the track listing in Japanese looks like this:

01.能動的三分間
02.我慢

the b-side doesn't have an official english translation yet because it hasn't made it to kronekodow, but my I'd probably go with "endurance," given the sports/physical related aspect/theme of the single. the word patience in english, as in saying someone shows great patience, is usually translated with another term, whereas one of the most common usages of "gaman" in japan is "gaman dekiru" or "gaman dekinai" which means to be able to withstand/endure something, usually a mental or a physical constraint. often times you hear people laughing and saying things like "gaman dekinai!" like "I just can't stand it anymore!"

LOL that would be an awesome DVD. or album name 我慢できない gaman dekinai - just can't stand it- XDXD

off topic and semi sexual harassment-ish, gaman is also the same term in referring to sexual endurance. in fact, the common slang for pre-cum is gamanjiru 我慢汁 or "endurance juice." XDXD.

coupled with kokoro off the last single in my mind this new b-side is totally uki porno music....;;gags;;

So fkn excited.

It may be that the sex/gaman thing is on purpose (It would be a coincidence since the title refers to 3min, unless the Japanese don't talk about, er, 'not being able to last long in bed'), and in that case, that sounds like something Ringo would come up with? Maybe?

I hope gaman is the 'marathon' track I wanted.. If the song titles (and lyrics) reflect the songs (Which I think they will), and all the album's titles sound similar to that, this means that this is SR's very first proper concept album! Variety did not sound anything like a Japanese variety show, so it doesn't count.

And I'm guessing we'll hear the first song clip in maybe seven days time?

[kuro_neko]

we better hear something, I imagine this will be getting a PV treatment, in which case they should roll out a preview sooner or later. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a PV/clip floating around after the month-to-release mark passes.

I don't think they are trying to be overtly sexual on purpose, but it is kind of oddly appropriate. I mean, the japanese fans are having a field day on this one..."active 3 minutes" and "endurance" ROFL. I can just imagine what the album will be like.... "hatsukoi orgasm"

[Scribble R]

I can't imagine the PV looking like anything but OSCA (And for some people: sounding like OSCA too), except using athletes instead of dancers. But I hope the band is running around.

And I bet most of the tracks on the album are written by Ikugumo....=P =P
