^ So my old saying of Shiina needing to find her balls again totally works!

Orenji's coolness has never been in question, but I never realized Orenji was this cool.

so here comes the song. I'm too disillusioned to spare my mind for a comment.

Sweet, Alleon posted so I wont have a double post to bitch about the song!
\m/

If it turns out good, "blah, why didnt Shiina sing it? Rabble rabble" If it sucks on either the performance or songwriting end, "blah, nu-shiina, has been. Rabble rabble."

Wish I'd have taken the over-under on that...

so yeah, the song sucks. Its Killer Tune -meets- Sakuran. If ya didn't like em the first time, with Shiina singing...
What pisses me off most is just how pervasive and assaulting that nu-Shiina sound is. She's not even in the performance and eeeverything I hated about HF/Variety is alll still there.

I had to double check Neko's post to make sure Shiina wrote the music as well as the lyrics. I was really hoping the band made the song....I was hoping I was mistaken...but no. ='( wtf.

It's not a SR/TJ release (yet) so it' not totally end of the world. But its not a good sign, exactly. We all cry for a Shiina penned song, and this is what we get. On the one hand, we have Tametabako: genius, great, ballsy. On the other we have this hot mess.

Snap the fuck out of it Shiina.

I seriously question your expectation ability. Not like she's making Gibbusu 2 or something.

[Tokyo Jihad]

I know, and it was still a boyband song. But I was maybe expecting somehing more on the lines Senkou Shojo not Killer Tune.

(seriously, the drum and bass track are the same.)

Hahahahaha. Shame it cuts off the only good part of the song (the ending guitar solo). I'd believe them if they said this was a song cut from Variety and donated to Tokio. Same shitty sound as Variety where poor Hata gets left in the background and hollowed out.

Phase 3. Believe.

kuro totally agree, I want to hear this issue with the goddess Ringo at the microphone !!!!!!!!!

[ShinjiPG]

Hm, anyone knows if the band (TJ) played the instruments or only provided the arrangement?

[Maou]

They definitely played the instruments. Just listen to the guitar and bass. There's no mistaking Uki's sound.

[alleon86]

well, at least the drama looks like its pretty funny.
