The "CS" stands for "Cross-eyed & Sitting".

Apart from his appearance, i reckon he got his artistic sense in Sora ga Natteiru PV. Or perhaps Noudouteki Sanpunkan. And Ariamaru Tomi (a rip off though)

I just saw the video for Handsome Sugite, and had a hard time determining the lyrics even though it's all english.

Anyways, for those that are interested, I found the lyrics at this site and here they are:

Turn up the volume, push up your mood, and show us what you can do.
Just be yourself now, Yeah, yeah, just like that. Lights and camera, action!
Look right into the lens that's shooting you, a bit right, and chin in. Now, tell me all of your specs.

Don't look so shy now. Don't be embarrassed, and walk with some confidence, too.
We'll all be famous in our lives, one time, for fifteen minutes, no more.

These are your lights, this whole set is for you.
Commercial avenue. You are handsome, young fellow.

There is nothing true on the underside.
To know everything, face front, and look out side.

Now move your gaze just a little bit. A bit up. Keep it there.
It will end soon, so hang in there.

There is nothing true on the underside.
To know everything, face front, and look out side.

You've got all our eyes. Don't look away.
You've got all our eyes.
Never look away.
You've had a long day, but now it's over.
Everything's over.

Turn off the TV. C'mon take me out.

Let's go since it's Saturday Night.
Let's go since it's Saturday Night.
Let's go since it's Saturday Night.

I'd say it's confidence but her "D" sounds very much like a "V" for sure.

Are you talking about the "We'll all be famous in our lives" part? Because listening to it while following along with the lyrics it definitely seems like the lyrics are correct.

The only part I think may be wrong is the "Now move your gaze just a little bit" which I really think is "Now move your gaze just a little way." I don't here the "B" sound at all and she definitely says "bit" in the next line in which you can make out the "B" sound quite easily.

I think the main problem when she sings in english is just the timing of certain words is odd, some syllables kinda get fused or there's an odd pause between syllables, along with the fact that the pronunciations are also a bit off at times. The vocals do go with the beat of the song so the timing works with the song but it's not so understandable. When she sings some of her covers of english songs, her english is usually a lot better like Yer Blues is pretty much perfect english.

"Turn off the T.V." - Anyone else getting vibes that we might be nearing the end of TJ? There seem to be cues in the music video implying it (even though Noudouteki Sanpunkan could have been construed to be their swan song back when it came out). Also, note Ringo pressing her face against Ukigumo on the screen.

"You are the famous", if that is what she says, might not be breaking as many rules of grammar as one might initially think, if she is using "the famous" as a noun...

Grammatically acceptable maybe, but still awkward.

Ringo is love!


And I hear she was on tv this morning. Singing some children's song on NHK's morning show. I slept of course and missed it. :-(

I think this song is probably about shitty group bands.
