I'm guessing you've never been here before.
Both Miliyah Kato and Perfume are on the current mediatraffic world album sales chart, but SR is no where to be found [this week]. Here are two previous entries for Sanmon Gossip though. It seems to have peaked at #6. If I'm not mistaken, Utada has been on the top of the world sales chart more than once, and I believe Ringo probably was at one time as well with either MM or SS.

Isn't it nice hearing Strat tones paired with Ringo's voice for a change? Her music has been filled with Tele and Les Paul tones until now.

Wow, interesting. I always saw Japan in its own little void. Also, I didn't know Maxwell had a new album out =X


And I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion about Maboroshi's guitarist. Especially with 'guitarists' being the hot topic here for a long while.

Maboroshi's guitarist is alright (in ZAZEN BOYS kind of way), but I like Nagoshi and Tomota much better. Not only do I prefer their tones, but there are also more subtleties to their performances. They are very much in control of how they hit the notes.

I still love this album and I really, really enjoy listening to it in the car. "Roudousha" is something I can't stop playing--I love it soooooooo much @_@

really? I find myself wanting to skip that track. I seem to find myself coming back to different pieces here and there. the only tracks I consistently skip are Maru Chiten Kara, Futari Bocchi Jikan, and Maykashi Otoko.

Futari Bocchi Jikan is the most throwaway Ringo track of ALL TIME.
