...Me too! Exactly!
What a strange coincidence.

I do however agree with Aozora. It's way to slow for me. I do like the Gekokujyo version though.
See, there's a good chance I don't like Poltergeist as much because its right before Souretsu, which essentially makes it the okay foreplay before the OMFGsplosion! eargasm.

Aozora is just toooooo sweet and puppy-love-ishfor my liking. Even GX don't make it any better for me

Holy shit, did Jihad just posted "holy shit, did Jihad just post?"?

1. BBQueen (only song I truly hate)
2. Yokushitsu - HF vers. (Yokushitsu from SS was fine and so was La Salle de Bain but put them together it's just blegh...)
3. Mayonkana wa Junketsu (I don't hate it but i'm never in the mood to listen to it)
4. Koko de kiss shite (generic and oh so close to number one on my hate list)
5.Gunjou Biyori (just not my style)

edit: KARISOME OTOME (death jazz version) no waaaaaayyyyy I rock out to that song all the time.
Hmmmm I didn't know people were capable of skipping tracks on KSK. Which do you skip? :shudder: @_@

Haha, Souretsu is one of my most hated shiina songs, and Poltergeist one of the best!

How could you get possibly more Shiina essence in one song than in Poltergeist?

This will make you change your mind about the Ringo songs you hate. Or at least you'll learn how valuable her voice is :x

I always enjoyed Tomosaka Rie video. First and Foremost I like Tomosaka Rie as an actress. It's not a good interpretation of Ringo's songs, but I don't think that it was meant to be good. And it really does show you that only Ringo can do Ringo.

Edit- you know, this is probably how every other jpop singer will sound when they do ringo. Can you imagine Koda Kumi or Ayumi doing Shiina? it'll sound exactly like this.

Maybe Utada can pull it off, but it'll be in a totally different style.
