About Sanmon Gossip needing another Stoicism, I would have to say I agree. I honestly think Bonsai Hada is the closest thing to Stoicism just because it's so sonically different and experimental in comparison to anything else on the album. But something quirky and definitely Ringo would have been really nice to have. @ papilionidae: Wow! That was really fast! Today I learned that Mummy-D can't dance! Kind of a meh PV though. Ringo walking on a catwalk with TVs on the walls? Okay, I guess. HZM seriously should have been in there. And who was playing guitar anyway?

I liked that video! at least she was in it this time.
Edit: I revoke my initial excitement for the video. I couldn't even sit through it a second time. Besides I was tired at the time so my judgment was clouded. Last edited by Ringo~Bingo : 2009.07.06 at 05:49 AM. |

Maboroshi is Mummy-D as MC/rap and Takeuchi Tomoyasu on guitar, that is their unit. Hayari features Mummy-D on rap and Takeuchi Tomoyasu on guitar, so they both make appearances in the video. Hayari is the only track to feature guest guitar by Takeuchi Tomoyasu.
Since Maboroshi *is* these two, this song is essentially Ringo writing and performing with Maboroshi, arranged by HZM. Kind of a nutty crazy combo, but one that works. I think KZK is the ultimately over analyzed album of Japanese pop. It is what it is, calling it egotistical and an Icarus attempt and all these things is going a bit beyond whereI want to venture. The album, if anything, was Ringo just fucking around on her own in her house and letting her imagination go wild. I think the entire process was extremely organic and home grown and the idea of describing the album as something so amazingly thought out and intricate doesn't strike me as the possible answer. The production seems so complex and intricate, but it was really a matter of a few people doing many roles. In some ways, I think Ringo created KZK without the original intention of creating an album as it is. She probably just started with sketches and let them go wild. I think moreso than SS or even MM, KZK was Ringo just fucking around making music. I think it is when she tries too hard and is under too much influence by other arrangers and musicians that we end up with HF and Variety. Last edited by kuro_neko : 2009.07.06 at 12:36 AM. |

I like this PV I think. at first I was a bit bored by the lack of variety and content, but I think it fits with Shun and it suits the song. Considering the lyrical content and main message of the song, having a catwalk surmounted by images of Ringo and her band makes sense. I can't help but feel we have watched Ringo strut down this walkway with the handheld mic before, but her dress is just so awesome and the video overall looks so slick and polished. I hope they have equally as impressive sets for the rest of the PV's, Shun looked pretty low-key but this set looked like money.

Not to be rude, or you know, superficial, but she looks plastic in that video.
Also, it reminds me of the Dynamite PV for some reason. And seeing Mummy D offends me. There's just something faintly embarrassing about that video. Last edited by Scribble R : 2009.07.06 at 01:15 AM. |
