Ichijuku is one of her songs that is deceptively simple. It's one of those songs that seems pleasant and light with a touch of gravitas, but something about it digs in the memory.
I can pretty much recall the whole thing in my head, its movements and shifts, as if it was playing live. Memai is the same way, and Sweet Spot, and Ariamaru Tomi. In a way, I like thinking about those songs more than her blowout rock tunes. They sit in the memory better, and it's just nice to think about them. |

90% of the time (not here, but in general, but a little bit ITT too) when people say "underrated" they really mean "overlooked." If people used underrated properly it would be as contentious a topic as things that are overrated.
Like...I would say that Killer Tune is underrated. |

From the very beginning I'm filled with the desire of reaching said twist, it's so ironic and absorbent. |

When I first listened to Ichijuku no Hana, and I saw the liner credits soley towards Uki, I assumed that there was no layering.
But then I realized even the most talented finger-style guitarist could never, ever play that song alone. |

Shiina Ringo, Suberidai. I think it's on Gekokujyo XTC? SR jamming on a toy piano on a tour bus. Very lovely and very underrated.
I can't find the video on youtube

Phase 1's Meet the World Beat 'Tsumiki Asobi in the USA.' The arrangement (HZM's idea?) has to be one of the scariest things I've heard in my life. It's total nightmare fuel. I wasn't even scared of clowns/jack-in-the-boxes until I listened to this.
And if I haven't already mentioned this, then 'Gong' is one of my favourite Uki songs that Jihen has performed. |

Utaite Myouri is underrated. I feel that most errybody recognizes it as "good", but nobody ever really talks about how truly excellent it is.
I definitely agree with the sentiment about Ariamaru Tomi. I wouldn't say it's the better half of SG, but it should absolutely be mentioned in the same breath. |
