There are problems, to be sure - the mastering is awful, the chorus is slightly hokey, and I don't think any self-respecting EDM or industrial fan would consider this to be a well-executed example of either of those genres (if indeed that is what it's trying to be).

But the melody is memorable and Ringo's vocals cut like the shining edge of a sword. The dissonance is amazing. And I disagree with the idea that this is just Kachuu no Otoko lite - this has a much harder sound. Even if it's not a 100% new sound for her, it is definitely an area she has not explored very much. Just as she refined her jazz offerings over the years, maybe this will become an element of her music that she refines over future releases too.

So I'm giving it a 7/10. Mock me if you must.
Good take!
