A song writer would know best what guitar-work is best for the song, no?

I'm not too sure if I'd say this same thing. But I definitely felt like he should have rocked more or done something cooler. I also did not hear anything special on the guitar. I was expecting this to be similar to how he played in Kyouiku but I guess it was all because of Ringo's compositions.

It's not challenging, but it sounds good. There's more to playing a guitar than playing scales as fast as humanly possible or making stupid farting noises. Hirama's playing is tonally pleasing (most of the time) and fits the concept of the song. Sainara, specifically, is a simplistic masterpiece.

Tanaka Yoshito absolutely crushed Ukigumo and Micky in Haha no Motown. I find it hard to believe you could've missed commenting on that superior guitar work.

So he probably can't write very complex songs so how can you say that his work is better than Ringo's in ADULT?

So by your logic, Ukigumo is a perfect fit for Jihen.

1. Complex doesn't mean good or better. You should know that by now.
2. Because I like it better. Anything I post is my opinion. Things I like more are naturally better. You should also know that by now.

It's a track on When I feel the sun in Tokyo. It's the seventh track, I believe. It has Taboo Zombie on trumpet, hal on the chorus, and Tanaka on guitar.

Yeah, I know it doesn't but in this case it DOES mean good or better.

I like that song. Yup it's track #7, after SO SWEET .
So the Micky's just singing and dancing on that one? Cool.
(don't need to correct me, I know there's another guitar somewhere in there. )

So, you agree that Luna Sea is better than SR/TJ then? I mean, if complexity matters so much, you must think Luna Sea easily takes it from SR/TJ. Or do you just want to slant things to support SR?

Ah, So Sweet. Another simple but excellent composition by Micky. Would've made a good Jihen song.
