Ohh, I see now! Thanks for explaining it!! But now, I don't think I'll ever be able to judge overrated and underrated songs. @_@ That's too hard.

My friend who never bothered about SR (and doesn't really like her old stuff) liked Konoyo a lot. I guess, since that song does attract new fans, so it's pretty good. But I'm not sure what to think about the song yet.

As for Kenka, I think it's the kind of song SR can write even when she's deaf (and I don't mean Beethoven maestro kind of deaf).

Same here. Some of their old songs are a bit too mellow for my taste, but a lot of their newer stuff pwnz the muffin.

I'd say the two Memories songs are two of my favorites. Memories-Custom has that cool guitar squeal at the beginning, and I really dig that. :-B

I actually thought the lead singer sounded really awesome when paired up with Shiina Ringo. Their voices complemented one another quite well.
He's all like Laaaaahhhhhhhhh
and she's like LAAAAaaAAAaAa!!!

I've been waiting for them to sing together again. Maybe he'll join Tokyo Jihen as another lead singer.

over-
memai (this is probably the only ringo track I really can't stand)

under-
crawl-this song is hated on all the time, mainly how the studio version sounds "soul-less" I couldn't disagree more. I remember the first time I heard it I had to turn down my car stereo because it was bothering my ears. I think the general sound might bother a lot of people, but if you can get past it, I think there is a lot to love there.

over :
Koko de KISS Shite, GIPS : those are typically songs a thousand female singers could have sung.
Gunjou Biyori : I know almost everybody love it, I think this song is nice but very noisy for barely nothing
Yokushitsu SS version : just ok but nothing special
Oiran, Hatsukoi Shojo : very bad songs

under :
Kabukichou no Joou : I think fans love it, but it's a shame this song didn't sell though Koko de KISS Shite hit the top 10
Momen no Handkerchief : it took a while before I noticed how good this song is
Yukiguni : her singing is so good on this song

I'd say 17 is underrated. I never hear talk about it. I put it in my top 15 best of, alone with another member.

12-tone serialism is weak.. 1950s was a time of confusion for the 2nd viennesse school of thought..

How are two of the most loved songs underrated? I understand that there isn't much talk about them, but they still get their props in any "Favorite off of" thread that shows up.
