I totally get what you are saying, okay. But Dopamint!, as a song, has nothing to do with Glico. The chorus isn't "Buy Glico Watering Kissmint" etc. You wouldn't even know it was a song for gum just by listening to it!
Am I disappointed TJ accepted a commission to write a commercial song? Sure, but this HARDLY ruins everything, and I still like Dopamint! as a song.

Total agree, just for the record.

In this radio interview, they (Ringo and Kameda) say that each one played their own instruments on the song.

Ukigumo looks cool on that SWITCH cover, but what's that monstrosity around Ringo's neck? And why are Izawa and Kameda decked out in T-Shirt/sportcoat combos like it's 1986 and they're shaking down coke smugglers from Cuba?

Hata looks like he just beheaded a 9-year-old.

Can't wait to pick this up next Friday!

which one is her real hair?
Is one of these her real hair? (if I had to guess, I'd say the switch one, but I can't keep up with them, they have some pretty good wigs)

I'm pretty sure she's wearing wigs all the time. Some time ago, someone said that her real hair is so long, but she prefers to wear short haircut wigs instead (?).
