Is it just me, or is Sid to Hakuchuumu kinda underrated?

I think it is. Even though it seemed to have been played live kind often and it had a different version. I love that song, it just takes me back to Senior year of high school. It also makes me want to destroy my room in a wonderful fit of violence D:

Underrated on EMF: Koko de Kiss Shite. Fuck you all. The opening line is exactly what I feel about someone.

Underrated: I think Yami ni Furu Ame is my favorite Ringo song of all time in the history of everything. I saw it marked as overrated in this thread, so I am coming to it's rescue. This song kicks fucking ass. She needs to do a live version of it OTHER THAN THE SPECIAL TRACK ON GEKOKUJYO ECSTASY.
It pisses me off to no end that this song doesn't get more love. The violins, the beat, the guitar, her voiiiceeee, everything is pure sex embodied. It also helps that the video is kickass, and that it involves her being a Ballerina. I WAS ONCE A BALLERINA TOO, MUTHA FUCKA. best song ever. I know this is completely opinion based and not intelligible, but damn it, I'm so tired I can feel my eyeballs falling off my face like runny eggs, so I don't give a horse's ass.

Overrated: Metro. I just do not like the song at all, and I want to stab myself in the eye each time I hear it. I thought Ramp was way better. I just don't know...everyone gushes about this song, but I dislike it so very much.

I'll sign that underranted rant, though I'm not responsible for underrating.

And I completely apologize for swearing like a sailor and not really contributing very much in the whole process. I feel as though, when Variety came out, everyone was gushing about Metro and I just did not feel any connection to the song at all. Everyone bashed Boutomin, and I didn't understand all the hate. It seems like favorites here are the songs I would NEVER EVER PICK IN A MILLION YEARS TO LISTEN TO.

some more underrated: Love is Blind.
Never realized how great this song was till I rediscovered my collection of Ringo files on my website that I had stored away (forgotten about) for safe keeping. Her Engrish is a little little bit painful, but is sung with such emotion, and the song is composed beautifully, that I hardly even pay it any mind.

I love that cover as well, it's one of my favourite UM tracks
So much better than the original, I must say. Altough I don't perceive it much as underrated, at least in these forums.

I was thinking, moreso, that it is underrated in the whole scope of Ringo listening. All my friends who are fans of Ringo? They dislike or have never heard of her version of Love is Blind. Also, Ringo doesn't seem to play it very often (I only have two versions of it, not sure if I'm missing any).

I'm not really a forum regular, I just go through spurts of posts, then leave (I'm very shy), so if the general consensus is that Love is Blind is fantastic, I probably will never see it, unless by chance (with Metro, it was by chance that I saw the adoration).
