I think Toumei Ningen is a good song. I can see why the guitar is hated on so much, but I like it too. *shrug*

I too like Toumei Ningen, but mostly because of Dynamite Out.

I admit that the Adult version is enjoyable to me to the extent that it reminds me of Dynamite Out.

Keep in mind that when a poll was taken to determine the favorite TJ guitarist, Ukigumo was on top. I admit to the possibility that Hirama may lead if another poll is to be taken, but from past results, people seem to be okay with Uki.

Now, I agree that the guitar in the original Tomei Ningen sounds cooler, and that version may even be better, but I like this version how it is, and the different style of guitar sounds neat in its own way. Guitars by no means have to dominate a song. They don't even have to be the centerpiece of a song as they often are in modern music. I do enjoy when a song is led by a guitar, but I also enjoy how Tokyo Jihen allows other instruments to lead at different times to create more variety and pwnsomeness.

Yeah, but, IIRC, most of the Uki voters were Op2's followers. I'm fairly certain that most of the major contributers voted Hirama.

I prefer Hirama but I don't blame Uki for being here. Ringo (or the band itself) has chosen him though they knew his style and skills, so the idea of bringing this guitar sound was theirs too.

Remember one thing: language barriers. It's possible not that there're more people like Hirama, but just more ppl who speak English fluently enough (aka. "major contributors") call for Hirama.
I generally like both Hirama & Uki, and i always feel like Uki is kind of over-criticized here. But my inabilities on English strongly hampers my defense on Uki each time. So I just stand by and read posts.
