I prefer the studio version of KZK songs over any live performance of them. For me, it's all in the details in regards to that album. Though, I do enjoy the EM versions quite a bit in their own right.

For the most part, I like the EM versions more. KSK sounds a little bland/boring compared to the energy of Tokyo Jihen. What they lose in subtlety, they gain in energy. The only time they really failed a KSK song was Poltergeist. They shouldn't have played that. On the other hand, Meisai, Kuki, and Odaijini from EM destroy the album versions.

"Meisai" didn't have the orgasmic Saito Neko and Ukigumo violin/guitar duel at the end, "Kuki" did not feel as climactic as the album version did, and "Odaiji ni" I felt lost a lot of its bite with the screeching guitar out of the mix. It was turned into a normal ballad. Great performance, but I think the song was done better on the album. Just my opinion, of course. But one song that could possibly surpass all of the other versions was "Ringo no Uta". Ugh... why was it cut short??? I adore the version on EM. I would kill for a full version of it.

I adored KSK but even so, I think the EM version of Stem -KILLS- the album version; srsly? The way they just shred into the guitars at the beginning? Awesome!
And the EM version of Odaijini! How can any studio recording top that level of raw emotion she puts in that last line she delivers? I mean, the studio recordings are all perfect "on paper", but when you take into account the experience you get when you're listening to the stuff, I think the live versions hit me a bit harder. Like Dynamite Out! Just about every song there was done superior to the studio version. Now back to the topic - I seriously find it hard to fathom so much hate for VARIETY because I think it is actually a very, very competent pop album. Regardless, my list for 'worst' mixtape would look something like this: 1. Nobara 2. Kimi wo aisu 3. Kuroi orufe (I think we can detect a pattern here) 4. Kougousei (weak song, bad recording) 5. Hai hai (this is the sort of song I can only appreciate as a Ringo 'novelty', having already known what fantastic stuff she is capable of) 6. B.B. Queen 7. Karada 8. SERIVCE (JCHI version - I almost always skip this on the DVD) And that's about it, really. |

Anyway, the only ones I agree with are JCHI's Service and maybe B.B. Queen. I kind of understand your problem with Nobara, but seriously, I love that song =P |
