Edit: Nevermind! It works now!
It's cute, but I will agree that it's quite reminiscent of Irokoizata etc. Still fairly enjoyable though. Sounds like something Yuming might do. Last edited by gekokujyo : 2011.02.10 at 07:11 PM. |

Well this song at least could fit as a decent filler song on a good album, I would probably skip it half the time but it isn't painful like the other track though I am not into the Disney stuff.

I had to read this post multiple times because I couldn't accept you not liking a Nu Shiina tune.
Don't worry son, a few of us have been where you are now and I promise you will accept the new reality for what it is and you'll come out all the stronger for it. That song is utter shit by the way. Unless you're in a musical or an eight year old girl I can't see the appeal. Embarrassing to be honest. |

Okay, now that all the negativity is out of the way...maybe it will be a grower? oh man her voice just raised on a "desho" like an old lady trying to be a cute school girl. man. it just isn't my thing. maybe i should have listened before reading the thread, but I didn't like irokoizata...so I don't think anything would have saved this song for me. haven't given up hope on the album yet, but this song made it hard.

So both songs will be on the same album? That would be weird.
The thing is, she's 31, not 61. She grew up with Nirvana and Radiohead playing on the radio... not Sinatra. Her musical tastes are unusual for her age and I kind of wish she would get rid of every show tune and jazz album in her house because it seems to affect her musical output a lot (but maybe I'm just talking out of my ass).

I'm torn between feeling sad that people can take for granted something as remarkable as access to a talented, beautiful artist from a faraway country, to the point where they can bitch about how much better she used to be (referring to her "musical output," Jesus Christ on rollerskates)............ ...............and feeling good about being alive at a time when such things are possible. Louis CK's riff on bitchy cell phone users in planes comes to mind. Maybe I'm just getting old. By the time you kids start "sampling" your music through wireless nodes injected into your skulls, and every guitar player from Bangladesh to Ethiopia is instantly rattled through your digital aggregators, leaving you with nothing to be moved by except your own mastery and manipulation of technology, and as your media-enabling overlords congratulate you endlessly on your arrogant sense of superiority, I will be, hopefully, dead. I say all that with a . |

Hey don't be so dramatic! I didn't say her taste is weird, I said it's unusual, which it is. I'm thrilled I have easy access to all sorts of wonderful media from all over the world but really, why should I judge it any differently than something I can find in a store down the street?

While I like this song, I think it was a cheap thing for her to have written and released. She's already demonstrated she can write songs like this, she could have at least mixed it up somehow. And the video is really cute, even if it does make me kinda want to burn the trunk she keeps all of her wigs in. When do we think the full song/music video will be out?

Remember, this is coming from the person who gave second chances to now-famously-banned posters. I am one damn calm administrator....but some of this juvenile snark is starting to bug me. |

lol I didn't think my dislike on the song would be a subject..
that's just a song I don't like, like tasogarenaki, utenkekkou and sigma.. I'm not disappointed with Shiina Ringo because of that, yet. I'm sure something good will come with the next album |
