Default Yokushitsu vs Doppelgänger

KZK has always sounded like a flowery remake of SS to me, both albums have been called the greatest pop albums of all-time. And these two songs have very interesting electronic sound. Which one do you prefer?

By who?

Personally, I think both songs are so so so overrated by EMF. I'll pick Doppleganger because it hasn't been run in to the ground so much.

Is this even reasonably answerable? Both are infinitely different.

If it's by personal choice I can't answer either. I've never really held these songs on a pedestal either, so I've never really thought about it hard. I'm a heathen who prefers the HF version of Yokushitsu or La Salle de Bain over the SS version tbh. So who knows. Sorry, can't answer this one.

Both songs sound...sci-fi to me. Both are monster songs IMO. The film score version of Yokushitsu on HF is definitely fun! I still prefer the raw energy of the original.

this. I love both songs but I love Yokushitsu much more. Doppelganger has nice sound effects and all but Yokushitsu's songwriting is better

I don't even know how these songs correlate? Is it because they are both second on their respective albums because that is kind of stupid to be quite honest.....

Even so, Doppelganger is the first Shiina Ringo song I heard ever & Yokushitsu gave way to la salle de bain which is one of my favorite Ringo songs. So they both mean a lot to me.

I choose option three :P

^Come on, it's not like you're choosing which relative to save in a shipwreck.

I have a feeling that option three would involve you yelling at non-fans, letting them know what Shiina Ringo is all that. :p

Doppelgänger, if only for the Honnou sample -- even though it's the weak link of that album and the outro is a carbon copy of Shuukyou's outro (except for a waltz beat to mirror Poltergeist), which makes that last minute a waste of space.

But of course it wouldn't stand a chance against la salle de bain.

FINE. I chose Yokushitsu because on I think on its own it is the "stronger" song. I feel like Shouso Strip has strong parts but KSK is a stronger whole. Just my opinion though.

Also Option 3 is Rodousha j/k

Oh god, if Kabukichou no Joou were an option I don't think it could be any less of a contest.
