It's pretty great, though the ending is somewhat of a letdown even today. But yeah... how could you ever skip it if you're gonna listen to Sports?

I never payed much attention to Tsugou no ii karada until Toutaikai, from which point it's been in my top 5 Ringo songs :O Is there a reason you guys dislike the songs you're mentioning, or is it just based on visceral reactions (which is totally valid)?

I agree that ikiru is one of the best songs on Sports IMO, and one of my faves from the TJ discography.

(Also, just refreshed myself on kaitei ni sukuu otoko--I don't feel any way in particular about it (have probably skipped it a few times), but I love the way Ringo sings it. Katsute wa otoko to onna gives me about the same amount of not-bad-but-not-in-love feelings.)

I find it pretty interesting how there's quite a bit of overlapping opinions...!

It's basically like Elton John's Funeral for a Friend except not catchy, too wanky for me.

I wonder which song would win a fan poll for most disliked, right now I'm thinking Irokoizata?

Like someone said, if Tsugou was rearranged I'm sure I would like the song.

Irokoizata is a good contender for the title for sure And let's no forget the so hated NIPPON

Eh, I guess only three non-obvious solo songs jump to mind.

Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo (except for the demo version and maybe the ZX version?)
Tsumiki Asobi (except for the Phase 1 version and maybe the ZX version?)
Shuen no Onna was a perfect PUFFY song; she never should have brought it back

To be honest three of Jihen's best lives were from album closers, too (Dynamite's Yume no Ato, Virgin Line's Souretsu, Ultra C's Kimaru).

I used to like Izonshou until I heard the closer from Yuu's solo album Ten no Mikaku, which is a more fulfilling treatment of that concept that actually makes 6 1/2 minutes without wearing its welcome out.
