Can she just sing in Japanese please?

Compared to her early days her English pronunciation is becoming too pretentious. I can't feel her emotion anymore.

^ this doesn't bother me, but if she wants to sing in English so much then why not start releasing US versions of the albums, to save us all a shitload of cash :-/ (I mean, I don't mind spending that much money on her stuff but it still would be nice not having to fork out 50 bucks for a 30 min blu ray)

I want that peacock statue for my mantle, so hard.


Loving the instrument arrangement, everyone's on point.
Keytar solo, heck yes.
Cool PV. Just look at Kameda, so much swag.

Melody isn't that great (expected from what I'm pretty sure is penned by Izawa).
The doubling on her vocals is odd-sounding.
Speaking of odd, awkward English is awkward.

You would probably look like an aztec god. (Which is what that symbol probably meant in the first place....)

I have to agree with chickshih... The vocals definitely sounded abit weird... Not much emotion in her english pronunciation and it is a tad too husky at some parts. Maybe she is concentrating too much on the pronunciation... Sora ga Natteiru's vocals were husky too but it had more emotions. Perhaps, this was what she meant, the stalker theme, cold-blooded and ~evil~...

But to imagine the song with Ringo's clear voice... now the song becomes abit hard to like...

and pretty hard to imagine Ringo in short skirts 3 years ago... and her eyes too... they changed...

17 is awkward, but it's much better
She's just trying so hard to speak perfect English in her new songs, I don't know why.

^ 17 was slurred, Engrishy English. This is good-but-not-quite-good-enough, jarring-enunciation English.

Perfect song, perfect video, styling etc. Love it! /blindlove

They've really stepped up the video production this era. I am now torn - want new material for next album, but also want CD version of this song. HOW!

Her English... I have absolutely no idea what she's singing except for the "blah blah Saturday Night!" bit, but it doesn't bother me the way "Tsugou no ii karada" also didn't bother me.

I agree, though, that I probably would have loved this even more if it had been in Japanese.

I assume it's not worth the ratio hit
