The long overdue Seiko Oomori thread

However, being realistic, my guess is that it's the same people on NeoGAF as it is on EMF, Last.fm, JPS...

(The same goes for Jun Togawa)

It was totally, 100% you who got me into Togawa (god knows how many times I've listened to Tamahime-sama the past three years) and probably indirectly you who got me into Seiko Oomori via the English bandwagon. Both have been much loved

Is this the 'feed DG's ego' thread now?

^ Sometimes a man deserves his praise. DG has almost morphed this forum into the Electric Oomori Forums. He's kind of the face of these forums now.

I said that, it's an Oomori reference. I'm saying what you said in the post above, didn't mean anything bad by it.

I'd say that DG's Oomori evangelism marked the start of EMF phase 3. When I got here seven years ago it was phase 2, with people bemoaning the loss of key original members and Tokyo Jihad being our most charismatic personality. I'd like to think that noobs like myself, sorely missed justringo and others brought some new life to the group. At least I introduced Togawa. But whatever. It's great to have someone here who is an enthusiastic fan of an important new(ish) artist.

Of course you introduced Togawa, after EmilScherbe introduced to you.

I see. I don't listen to Oomori much so it went over my head plus that suicide watch (another Oomori reference?) response to your post. Ouch. lol

Aww thanks guys, but I really don't actually like Seiko Oomori, just doing it to annoy people. Just like my Sunny hate.

I also bought a new bandwagon, I plan on driving parupunte into the limelight. Because they have potentially the AOTY on their hands.


ANYWAY:

The 17 minute idol song that Oomori wrote the second segment of (starting at 5:02):

You Kikkawa- Flower

Such ridiculous excess. So long. But also ridiculously enjoyable.
Can't tell whether I like it because its a legit great song or a fascinating train wreck... What's important is that it never gets boring in its run time, that's a good sign.

Only in Japan. Has there been an idol song at this scale before?

And if that wasn't enough Oomori penned idol for you, here's a preview of Yufu Terashima's (ex-BiS, appeared on Seiko's Imitation Girl) latest single, which is delightfully 'old school', coupled with Yufu Terashima's awkward solo voice, making it both awful and awesome at the same time:

She started filming the Magic Mirror PV today. I'd say we will be hearing that song by next month.

Don't know how I feel about that 17min long idol vid....by the middle of seiko's part I was ready to check out. very good for what it was but not my fav.

Excited for the next solo Seiko Oomori stuff.
