Wow, that is one unlistenable radio rip.

I still can't believe that no one has thought to put her in a rock band yet. She could get away with anything if she were fronting a good rock band.

[quote name='Special Needs Tricycle' post='67454' date='Aug 17 2009, 11:15 AM']I think the fact that we've all seen her grown up makes this like 10 times as creepy. Plus she basically looks exactly the same.[/quote] I think it's the second sentence that is really driving the "disturbing and cre...

He deserves it more than Yasser Arafat. Of course, that's setting the bar extremely low, but you can thank the Nobel folks for setting it thus.

After a few more listens I've decided that I really like the verse of this song, except for the gratuitous use of Koharu. The rap is crazy bad (as in not good), though, and the chorus just does not impress at all. There's simply no flow to this song at all. It sounds like they had a few different mo...

I think you came up with a theory and tried to shoe-horn the stats to fit that theory.

I love doing this. Surprises: "Resonant Blue" cracks the top 10 "Shouganai Yume Oibito" cracks the Top 20 Non surprises: The top of the list is mostly older stuff. Then again, it's only the last half of the bottom 11 that I don't like -- basically from "Aruiteru" on dow...

Personally, I dig the neo-80s garb, and I'd like to see some off-set ponytails to go with it. I don't care much for this song, though. Probably their worst single to date.

Yeah, not as good as the last single. The chorus starts out sounding like (I think) a Go! Go! 7188 song and then just sort of goes blah. Still, I love this concept. I always thought that putting Nono and Kago in a rock band would have been brilliant.

[quote name='TightWetPucchi' post='66870' date='Jul 31 2009, 09:28 PM']I'm kind of shocked at how popular Eri has become.[/quote]

Same here. I've always seen her as middling in every capacity.

I don't really pay attention to the group anymore outside of listening to their stuff as they release it, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say Risa because she's the most bangable to me.

I like the first seven recordings. I really couldn't care less what they named the groups or whatever, they sound good to me. My two favorites are Reina's solo, which is the only song that I recognized, and the Risa/Eri song. All of them sound great, and the songs suit them very well. The other seve...

So she's officially Miki Tomoharu now, eh? Good for her, and especially good for him.

Eh, this is pretty generic to me. "Shouganai Yume Oibito" at least has a memorable chorus and a cohesive arrangement.

[quote name='mEri' post='66133' date='Jul 6 2009, 03:59 PM']It is also not surprising after reading Tsunku's somewhat offensive and arrogant blog posts about American fans.[/quote]

I didn't hear about these comments. What did he say?

I like the B-side. Kago sounds great on it, although I could do without the spoken word part.

What fucked up week. Pitchmen was a pretty good show. I liked Mays a lot more after watching it.

MJ was my generation's Elvis. It sucks to think about what he became, but goddamn he was a great singer. "I Want You Back", "I'll Be There" and "The Love You Save" are all perfect pop songs. Perfect . And he sang lead on them as a freaking child. Thriller is an unbeliev...
