Whoa... Another argument in this thread. And I got lost again.

A part of her still yearns for the guy even though she is furious about his betrayal in the suicide pact. Ringo keeps switching between the two moods which makes the song quite scary (in a good way).

So back on tour, and tying it in with the current discussions, for those who went to see the show, did you see a lot of female fans? I noticed while watching DO that most of the first couple of rows were made up of female fans. It's actually good to notice this sort of thing, because it measures the cross-demographic appeal of an artist and therefore what their overall "popularity" in Japan is.

The guys are probably going to miku hatsune concert and the sorts.

Yeah, I agree with you, TurtleFu. Females can really relate to Ringo who isn't like mainstream artists who dress too sexily and wear too little.

Too many clothes = more musical restriction, didn't you know.

They just added 2 more dates, so it looks like the final show is December 26th (according to kronekodow)
