Loved the intro to the song, but it just went downhill from there. Soooo generic.
Reminds me of an even more generic Senkou Shoujo + Killer Tune or something. Nothing on 3min. I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm surprised. I'm sure there'll be some good album tracks though! Fingers crossed. |

I liked the majority of Sports, so I don't see why I wouldn't like a TJ song again.
My expectations have just lowered since Dopamint and etc. And I wasn't expecting much since hearing the preview. You were talking to me right? haha |

To everyone calling "Sora ga..." or Tokyo Jihen or post-KZK Shiina Ringo generic, mediocre, or just plain bad:
When I think of those words, I think of something like this:
Okay? Now watch that, and then watch the video for "Sora ga..." again. Do you see or hear ANY difference? I just want to make sure we have our definitions straight. And by "differences," I don't mean one video has hot babes gyrating their way into your spank bank while the other has a surgically-enhanced MILF and a bunch of tightly-wound douchebags staring blankly at each other. |

To NIMH Rat: That video may be indicative of what generic Japanese is like... but it seems to be of Korean origin. Just out of curiosity, how did you come to pick that particular video.

seriously though, at least those girls look alive. I mean if they are going to sing shitty pop music they might as well dance around in tight little clothes and work their moneymakers. I like that people hold Ringo up to high standards and if I can be disillusioned and meh-ish about her and jihen as of late, I would expect the same and even worse from the long-time skeptics. this is everyone's board and everyone has a right to their opinion, even the negative nancys. |

SHIT! This is the one I meant to put up:
I don't mean to say nobody has a right to an opinion. I'm just curious where the opinion-maker is coming from. And D.K., I picked that because KARA is all over the entertainment news lately, and when I thought what crappy fucking shit is being put out on Japan's airwaves these days, I didn't have to think long and hard. |

I dreamed of writing better songs than Ringo... and now I am....this was not what I had in mind. There is exactly 1 second (where she says 'Hoshii" before the chorus) and 6 seconds (right in the middle of the chorus when she says 'sekai ichi...") where you can see the hallow shell of the artist that used to inspired me. I am so sure that some people know just what I am talking about. I'll listen to the lyrics tomorrow but this will be an underwhelming song regardless and it follows a very consistent pattern of post-sports endeavors. |

I didn't know this was a Kameda song... it explains why it's a more straightforward rock song. The bside is a Ringo song and I'm not sure if I should lower my expectations or raise them. I'd take one Sora ga Natteiru over 1000 Irokoizatas.
Why these two moments? I looked for both but I can't say I get it.
