Heh, ordered as soon as I heard the news.
Also I think Oomori wrote the lyrics and chorus of this song, if not the whole thing.

I was on some good coffee the other day and I wrote out a super delayed review of Sennou. Honestly, I'm not even sure if it's fair for me to review that album anymore - I kinda know it like that back of my hand at this point.
But anyway I finally gave TBH a run through and it doesn't seem as sporadic and crazy as Sennou. The songs are a lot more consistent while Sennou feels like a roller coaster.
Do you guys think the title is also a homage to Ringo? Mushuusei ROMANTIC made me think of Marunouchi SADISTIC, especially the way its written and styled in kana with the kanji compound followed by katakana. |

I can't remember which track it is, but there's a part in a song towards the latter half of TBH that sounds like it came straight from an 80's rock song

Well, I feel I have finally digested TOKYO BLACK HOLE musically--I would still really like to be able to read & intuit all of the lyrics (has anybody translated the entirety of the record yet? Link please?) before fully judging, but at this point I'm definitely not feeling it as much as you guys are. It's a solid pop record which is beautifully produced with a few moments of Oomori genius (e.g. subdued title track, Magic Mirror, and the final track as DG mentioned) but I feel like she's already done this, arguably better, on Sennou. I'm not really sure there is much left for her to do or prove in this (at least musically) mostly pure pop space and I was really hoping for something a little more fresh, or at least more throwback on this new project after Sennou which seemed like the logical conclusion to that progression.
I want a full record of whatever that last track is, honestly, or something completely new. I want crazier. This is the side of Oomori that makes me feel like she is one of the most unique individuals in the music industry and I really just want that. I hate to be a downer on this record because I actually do like it, but I hold Oomori to extremely high standards because I really do think she is a genius and capable of continuing to blow my mind and that just didn't happen here. |

As I feared, it's sold out already. Half a day. Y!A it is.

SENNOU VINYL SECURED.
Only 1000 yen extra than original price. I can live with that.
