Sounds pretty good... I don't really like Kameda's other songs, but this one is pretty tight.

This sounds sooo much more like plain Jpop than anything on Variety. It's not bad, but I don't think it's Tokyo Jihen quality.

I Like the video, was a little disappointed by no shiina, and because I expected some fantastic dance sequence but it seems that the previewe showed us everything.

The song is good, It's like fluffie said, not Shiina-grade, but It's good enough to wash out the taste of Variety

EDIT- Scratch that, the song kicks ass, it's short, and it doesn't break new ground, but It's a appearance from the shiina that i miss.

Agree...it doesn't sound anything like Tokyo Jihen....nor even
the style Shiina would do..Geesh...the way i see it variety had more variety then this new song will ever have-
and mostly for me this song sounds the same
style we saw/heard being played on Variety.
Its pretty darn OK, but i wouldnt get excited for this batshits truely.
i agree with you fluffie that this sounds truely as an belove the average jpop song generated now and then- i have spoken

Say it ain't so fluff, say it ain't so.....

I wouldn't say it's plain Jpop, but it is definitely closer than anything on Variety.

It's definitely poppy, but I don't see how it's any more pop than, y'know, the whole album of pop they just made. It lacks a certain amount of flare and doesn't really take many risks, but I think it's a solid track and nothing really puts me off about it. I know a lot of people here consider his work boring, but I'm a fan of Kameda's tracks and I think this one has a pretty pleasing, coherent flow to it. Not great, but good enough for me.

I don't hear Tokyo Jihen anywhere. This song could have been made by anyone. I could have been terribly disappointed and angry about this, but after a series of one increasingly disappointing release after another, I'm numb.

Funnily, I thought the sound is similar to that of Gunjyou Byori

Don't be so sad justriiingo. You sound depressed recently
