Please stop performing Gunjou Biyori, Phase 2. You guys suck at it and it's getting worse with each tour. This one was easily the worst. Enough with the cheesy Mentos commercial stuff in the verses. Play it like Phase 1.

You didn't like the Virgin Line version?

Oww all these different versions are giving me a headache!

Here, take these:

Nuprin. Little. Yellow. Different.

I didn't like that version at first, but I don't mind it now. It's their "rock" version that I've grown to hate. Three guitars and none of them can play the Hirama lead section. Two rhythm guitars and Ukigumo poorly emulating HZM's keys. Feels bad man.

Throw in the fact that performance felt more like the Adult/Variety shows instead of Ultra C and it's pretty disappointing.

Hey everybody, look at me.

The "straight" version of Gunjo they play with phase 2, with Izawa on guitar, is one of the most disgusting things to listen to. I swear.

^ I like it alot, actually, almost as mucha s I do the original! The groove becomes very kayoukyoku in the phase 2 version, which to me is a lot more emblematic of what TJ is about - a sort of contemporarised version of older styles of Japanese pop music.

I know. It emphasizes Ukigumo's inability to play rock music. You really can't say more than bringing out the keyboardist to play heavier distorted stuff while the "lead" guitarist plays what used to be keyboard parts.

The Discovery version of Atarashii Bunmei Kaika wasn't so hot on Ukigumo's part. The slide part got morphed into everything I hate about his sound.

I don't really like Gunjou Biyori, never did. Am I the only one here?

Well, it took a while to grow on me, but it did.
