It's so jazzy and I like the way the lyrics just roll during the chorus (I attribute this to those R's *look at 'em roll!*). I'm kinda surprised not many people list this as their favorite song.

actually it's one of my favorites. i agree, it's an awesome song. it's quiet at first but then it's starts turning into a rock song. and also an unusual song for ringo.

^ 喧嘩上等 is Kenka Joutou and not Kenshou Naoshi like you were saying. 化粧直し is what you meant (I think).

Oh! I see...ooops

I suck, but yeah, I see now. Thank you for pointing that out! I didn't notice when I posted it. I wasn't thinking because I just copy and pasted it from my iTunes.

I just prefer reffering to the actual characters, because the romanizations aren't really that correct.

But speaking of which, 喧嘩上等, is also a really great song

Why do you think romanizations aren't correct ? I think the romanizations rules made it very correct. I prefer keeping the name in japanese just because it looks better and because Shiina plays with the writing of her songs, but I still think the romanizations are good.

Rolling r's... I never really gave much thought of that, maybe cause that sound is so common in my native language.

That's also the reason why hearing native English speakers speak Japanese. It sounds funny, especially a girl from some British university in my class last year... sounded close to... cute with the R:s stuck somewhere down the throat.

Underrated: Sigma and If You Can Touch It (technically not a Ringo song, but still).

Overrated: Gibbsu
Koko de Kiss Shite

[Tokyo Jihad]

Underrated: Koko de Kiss Shite I'd like to her an actual case for Koko de being overrated for a change. I hear many people saying its overrated, yet no ones really pushing the song to begin with. Is it just because it was a (fairly successful) single? Because the intro is grating, jarring and makes you want to hit "skip >" (although, i think you'd be missing out on a good rest of the song.) Id just like to hear the case against it, its not my fav track in the universe either but I won't get carried away with it. When about 80% of the sentiment towards this song is bashing it, can it really be overrated?

for the sake of filling out the thread....

Overrated Yami ni Furu Ame See, here would be a candidate for being overrated (even tho i realize this only puts me in to be more unpopular with people ) Its voted second, 1 vote behind Honnou, in the SS thread. I dunno, dare I say this may be a case were the video is what's selling the song rather than the song selling itself. That's not "such" a bad thing. I think its a bit curious of a PV release. (tho SS sold so well, why wouldn't they keep pushing videos out) It's a nice, moody song (tho i'd contend the chorus is a little weak but maybe its inthe 'spirit') but on my personal list anyway its behind all the other pvs + Izonsho and Stocism
