Freclegirl, why is track 3 translated as westernization instead of civilization? Is there some indication on the lyrics?

oh, and changing from "men hang out on the ocean floor" to "the man who haunts the bottom of the sea" is still a pretty good name

Bunmei-kaika technically means civilization, but it is used in Japanese history to specifically refer to the period of Westernization post-Meiji era.

I have a great feeling this will be electronik supersonik =P

That's Sora ga Natteiru, the single we have already heard. So it's not electronic, it's a Kameda track.

Oh, thanks!
(and poor Kameda, this is bullying!)

* To me there is no need to make this plural. It is one man. "Otona-tachi" is specified plural so I think if this was meant to be plural, it would be. "Sukuu" does also mean build a nest, nest, hang out, but I think "haunt" works best to sort of encompass all those meanings.
** Or "Ike" but my hunch is "Yuke."

Also, there's a Tokyo Jihen screensaver up for download! Available here and click "Mac" or "Windows" accordingly.

And the winner is...

I were right!!!
Do You remember? About the symmetry!
Okay, there was no stake, because it was predictable, but.... I were right!

[TurtleFu]

Sora ga Natteiru's official English is "The Reverberation" and Onna no Ko's is "Welcome to Heaven"

I think the English versions might still have symmetry.

[ShadyNook]

"b.t" could be the backing track version of Tengoku used in that tv drama thats been quietly sitting in youtube for months.

No info on the bonus dvd? only yesasia has that info, so maybe there isnt a first press dvd, just the usual first press cardboard outer sleeve.

I think the 'b.t.' stands for bonus track, and it might be that samba version you can find on... yeah, the tube XD.

Tengoku is Welcome to Heaven

But yeah, I agree that some of the english titles versions could still have symmetry, like:


03. Atarashii Bunmei-kaika / New Westernization
11. Sora ga Natteiru / The Reverberation

But I'm okay with either way, I just want to listen to his album soon

All Tokyo Jihen CD/DVD releases have had first-pressings, except Dynamite In, Adult (which had a corresponding limited edition), Spa & Treatment (which had external bonuses for Ringohan members), and Ultra C. If Discovery ends up not having a first-pressing, this would break a very large precedent. I'm much more inclined to believe there is a first-press (purely about the packaging) which CD Japan simply doesn't know about yet, than believe in a bonus DVD which EMI wouldn't charge extra for.
