"Tokai" is the golden track of the album to me with "Mezame" coming up next, but the first 24 seconds of her humming should've been cut out and Usher should've been singing it. Total Avex-style of RnB.

Tarinsu is a peppy indie surf rockish kind of song. Kameda's cheeseball marching bass line, and the infamous Uki chickenpickin guitar ruins the song for me. Tokyo Jihen/solo Ringo making happy music puts me in a sour mood. The vocals sound like this could have been given to Puffy.

Ringo's other track "Kodomo" is a breezy piano waltz a Ghibli-Joe Hisaishi feel to it. its not a bad song, but the song doesnt go anywhere from section to section and can leave your interest drifting away.

"tokai no manaa" saves this album. its really stands out in a good way. Its edgy and the whole band sounds great! the rest of Toridori as a whole is too relaxing for my tastes.

You guys obviously don't understand the heartbreaking complexity of "Curtain Fall." Sooo goooooood!! "Mother goose" is also AMAZING.

seriously, the fact that you BOTH mention Mezame as being good makes me really discredit your taste. I mean, COME ON. The song is essentially the same stanza on repeat for 5 minutes, complete with cheesy trumpet and psuedo R&B sensuality.

the stand outs are Curtain Call and Tokai no Manner. The rest depends on your taste. I'd argue to say that Mother Goose is the next on list along with Tarinsu, then Zutto, and the very rock bottom would be Good Day Good Luck and Mezame.

and where are you guys getting this music, btw? Everyone I know who has heard this is coming from a physical cd for source. did it leak somewhere? if so, we might as well share with the rest of the community.
