hmmm ok
thanks for the info...
I wonder if I will get the release...

[ergreenlimes]

Awesome! An official release now! I wonder why they decided to make it one? Maybe because of the success of MoBeKiMaSu? Or to raise more money? Or as an excuse for more promo?

[strawberrypudding]

Maybe because that comedian said she loved it on TV,so they guessed it might be a good idea to do so?

Does this mean it'll get a PV? ^^ Also will S/mileage 2nd gen be in it or Original S/mileage? :-s

[Evangel]

^It's only the cd so that mean no pv.

[Vodka]

Excellent.
Like TommyVD said, one of the best 2011 H!P tunes.

[Alienpyon]

^ Hardly. An "OK song" maybe. Good to have it released, anyway.

[MayaChanShiDae]

^ It's all about opinion.

Might buy

If it wasn't for the skipping I'd agree with Tommy 100%; but the skipping is so unprofessional sounding and it makes me think my computer is about to lock up.

Totally this. The first time I heard it on youtube I thought someone uploaded a bad rip and checked another source. at first i thought maybe it's the same version as in the video and it's broken but then i realized that this is actually supposed to be this way

[Vodka]

lol! Oh the skipping at the end of the chorus is definitely........off, completely WTF worthy, and at first listen makes you double-take. But I like the track so much that I just roll with the weirdness of it. *shrugs* Me really likes it.

I just heard the concert rip and lol the repeating parts are really strange, way too amateur.

Just because thing repeat a lot doesn't mean it's amateur. Heck, I'd say it's pretty musically interesting. In fact, I think it's my favorite part of the song. In fact, Ayumi Hamasaki herself has plenty of songs that use "la" repeatedly, which I would say sounds much more amateur than this. (I do like most of her stuff, though.)

If you're referring to the call-and-repeat part, that doesn't sound very amateur, either. Some very famous church compositions were made for two choirs, and consequently many critically acclaimed choral music and symphonies have call-and-repeat sections if they don't comprise the entire song...

[claneksi]

lol I had to listen to the song again to confirm because I was like "eh, it's not skipping in mine.. D:"
I can see people not liking it though, each phrase begin just before the down beat and can be quite uncomfortable to listen for some. I won't call it unprofessional or amateur though. If anything it was because the electro style instrumental that they couldn't make it grander, but it was a deliberate attempt to put some quirkiness into the song. So either love it or hate it I guess.

I'm talking about the skipping parts, that are done in a way like the CD itself is damaged and it's repeating a part. I dunno how to explain that but I'm talking about the part at the end of the chorus. The repetition isn't the problem, it's just the way it's done.
