Superstar is pretty generic, but Fukushuu is just embarrassing and forced. It sounds like something an angsty teen might enjoy...10 years ago. I remember when Variety first came out, some people were naming it as a standout track.

The only standout track on Variety is Killer Tune and it still pales in comparison to even the middle-tier tracks on Kyouiku and Adult. Fukushuu is a poor song, but still not as bad as BB Queen or Toumei Ningen (Adult ver).

I agree with you about Killer Tune being the standout track, at least.

I admit, did enjoy the Spa and Treatment performance -- particularly the bit where she sings 'It's beauuuutiful...ooooh!' And I hear that Ukigumo's FOUL sounds like Fukushuu. She used the megaphone for this song in Countdown Japan. The best Variety song is Sake to Geko. Metro is solid, but got old. I do think we can get better from Uki and Izawa (Especially the latter), considering that the Variety songs were allegedly pulled from hundreds of old demos. This time, they wrote music *especially* for this album. I just want to sit down with Shiina and ask her about her music-making decisions in the last few years. I hope someone can translate the upcoming magazine interviews. Last edited by Scribble R : 2010.01.16 at 11:06 AM. |

I still prefer Variety over Adult... don't get me wrong, Adult is an awesome album, but some songs just felt like some sort of tests to make the change from phase 1 to phase 2 work... and I'm pretty sure they were.
PS: I like Fukushuu =P |

I also hate Fukushuu. Learning that it wasn't her song comforts me. I've never understood how it was one of Jihad's favorites. If he's still lurking about he's probably dying to chime in here.

fukushuu is a horrendously bad song and easily the worst entry on Variety. I never understand why Izawa gets all the hate for that era, because the majority of the horrendous songs on the album belong to Uki. I also think the fact that no one on this board likes Sake to Geko is insane, then again, you have to hear that song in a plane of altered consciousness (read: stoned) to enjoy it to its fullest.
random: I bought a countdown japan 09/10 shirt, a ringo expo shirt, and the Adult era Silver Pick necklace (white) from kronekodow. I have two Kyoiku-era Jihen shirts and one Jihen shirt from last summer that are way too small for me, the Kyoiku stuff has been worn once, the recent shirt maybe 3 times, but they all are tiiiiinnnyyyy on me so I don't bother trying to squeeze in. I'm thinking of selling them, I will probably take pictures and post a new thread when I get back to boston and have access to them later this week, but I just thought I'd put it out there, these are the three I have: the blue strip one is a Medium and the other two are both mediums. I'm too tall for the first too (exposed mid-driffs on men = fail) and to bulky for the last one. |
