Didn't like the song at all at first, but the chorus is really growing on me.

0:01-0:14, 1:55-2:14, and 3:00 onward were pretty good.

Well my stupid ass didn't rip the video after I watched it the first time. Would someone be nice enough to repost another link or re-upload it?

I enjoy the hard rock of this song.


I just noticed something. Most of the MVs of TJ and SR I've seen, Ringo doesn't really show any emotions. It is like a blank doll face with a moving mouth. Even the hired "singers" are doing it... Is it something that Ringo requested? I noticed it in Kira kira bushi(PUSSY) too. Or is this behavior common in Japanese MVs?

Well, first of all, I really doubt Shiina had anyting to do with that PV, because she only guested on the song (with a Pseuodonym!) and wasn't even in the PV

Secondly, I don't really see how the girl in the Kira Kira Bushi PV had a blank doll face.

That being said, I thought the girl in this PV was very interesting. I notice they put Shiina's moles (the original up lip/cheek one too) on her, so maybe the girl is supposed to represent 1) the resumption of Shiina's solo career and 2) the idea that Shiina needs a stand-in now becuase she's not youthful anymore.

Also, the fact that Shiina isn't in the PV gives credit to my idea that she is focusing more on her son now and doesn't have the time to film PVs or promote songs on TV.

Bingo. Not to sound callous but why start now?

Pretty clear they were working with a limited budget for the PV.

Probably just decided to do something cool and artsy for it.

I also like the girl in the video, probably because she reminds me of a young Ringo.
