Tokyo Jihen New Single & Fall Tour [2007]

[Orenji]

Oh... I should be excited about this new release... I'm excited, but not as I should... you know? I don't want a Uki-fied song as an A-side... I'm almost sure that the b-sides (if they are written by SR) will we better that that "OSCA" thing

[Linnéa]

I am intrigued & very much looking forward to July now . Please, please, please, Uki, don't fuck this up.

if cdjapan didn't get the facts right about who penned the song, who is to say that it will be anything like what they describe. Probably just some bored middle aged man who comes up with these descriptions to feed to the site to get people to make pre-orders.

I would laugh if the track was dolphin noises with shiina careening underneath whale noises while uki plucked one string on his guitar over and over.

izawa, hata, and kameda won't play instruments, they will do interpretative dance essential to the work, dressed as dolphin/man mixes, trapped in nets mistaken for tuna.

And some of us would love it!

[Maou]

Ah, I get the title of the track now, kuro_neko! It's all a misspelling. It's actually ORCA and not OSCA.

I still think that Uki is too creepy to be in the spotlight. But I'm really curious

I had the same thought, and I think this is just the creepniess I mentioned above.

Ahhhh, I'm so excited!! >_< I wonder how this new song will sound!!!!

So, the single name is OSCA not オスカ? Man, I'm sad that it's breaking the tradition too. Maybe their next album's songs will all be in English... And, what does CDJapan mean that this song was 'carefully selected from the various demo compositions of the band'? And, it's only going to have one b-side?!? I don't know if I'm okay with Uki writing the lyrics for this song, too... >_< On one hand, I like that Ringo's letting the band have bigger parts in making the songs, but then I still want the song to be written by her. ;_;

I hope Ukigumo will be able to prove himself in this single. Go Uki!!

Oh, that reminds me a lot of Fiona Apple's "Please Please Please" song


Only one b-side? Apple tradition is broken now... So, it will be ORCA instead of OSCA?

"The Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae). It is found in all the world's oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to warm, tropical seas."

Seriously, what does SR see in Mr Floating Cloud?
I wish there was a "Being Shiina Ringo" deal going on somewhere just so I can find out for myself.

Alright, people. If Uki does ruin this song, I'll accept your arguments against him. It doesn't mean that I'll stop enjoying his presence, but at least then you'll have more than one music selection to hold against him. If this song is truly guitar-driven as it says, and he blows it, then fine. I'll let you hate him without any trouble from me. But if it's a good song, or if the guitar is at least good, then I'll cry if you still hate him.
