Even if you're comparing this song with MM tracks, that's still quite a controversial opinion

The only thing that drags Superficial Gossip down is the chorus. I don't agree with the people who are saying that it's busy in a bad way because I think it works. The song sounds REALLY urgent and rushed (In an interesting sense). There are so many great bits in the song, it's just that BLOODY CHORUS.

Ringo's voice sounds bad in that live performance.

Ken Hirai mentioned Green Day in his panel so he was obviously hitting on one of the members lol.

Also, according to 2ch, the band that performed with her was:
Guitar: Fujita Akira (previous guitarrist of Syrup16g)
Bass: Maki Kitada (from Syrup16g)
Drums: Shirane Kenichi (from GREAT3)

Weird choice, I guess? Did she divorce Kameda?

Was she taking a piss out of the show?
Also I think Hirai Ken wrote he sang the Green Day song "We Are The World"..?

Yeah, I think so to. Or at least say that he likes it or something.
But I like to think of Hirai Ken as someone who seems good and pure to society but is really just hitting on every guy he can Well, it was just a joke lol.

Like Hannah Montana? Pop star by day, violent rapist by night?

By the way, I'm wondering what people's initial attitudes to Souretsu was. Because that isn't the most pretty-sounding track on first listen.

I loved Souretsu the first time I heard it. There weren't any songs on the album that really took me off guard for being out of the ordinary.
I'd also been listening to the single versions of Ishiki and Meisai for a good month before hearing KZK, so I was pretty well acquainted with the sound. Plus, I guess I'm pretty open to new or different styles of music as long as it fits the cohesive and catchy aspect I require in most of the music I like.


About the single, I wasn't too impressed with Ariamaru Tomi upon first listening. But it's definitely grown on me. But SG far surpasses it IMO -- I can't stop listening to it. I love the detached sound of her voice and the synthetic sounding basic instruments, and the natural sounding strings just fills out that sound.
However Ariamaru Tomi does get stuck in my head more, while SG isn't sticking too much. So after the novelty of SG wears off, my opinion might change.

[ShinjiPG]

Ariamaru Tomi is quite catchy, which explains why it's easy to keep remembering it, especially the chorus, which she repeats over and over again in the song.

Ringo drew "Sadistic station" because she's back!
& I'm sure ShadyNook was telling an ironic joke with the marathon comment, unless Noguchi went to her team afterwards and said, "Quick, I'm dying for a ciggie..."

She's just rolling with the same crew as her boy toy Hirama.
