Thank you Daisuke Ishiwatari for introducing me to this fantastic band! Oh man, I always get this feeling when I hear good music! This smooth, nice feeling!
What I find really strange is the fact that I actually craved listening to this song. I briefly listened to it on accident a couple of days ago and didn't think much of it. Silly me then searched through all of my YouTube history just to get my fix. This band is absolutely great, everyone fits in perfect. The bass is just completely insane, the drums so energetic and fun. The keyboardist flowing through as that guitar lays that pop in your head with female vocals to tie it all together? Awesome!
@GeovaniSorto haha..same thing happened to me. I liked the song and listened to the album a couple of times, then months later out of nowhere it popped into my head. I couldn't remember what the hell it was and it was driving me mad!
@ChocolateMudkips yeah thats also part of why this song was so popular. though not in this video, the song itself is exactly 3 minutes(which is why its translated as 3 min) and the beat goes with every second. cool huh? haha
I lived in USA music here suck and americans only wanna listen to their shit ,, they don't even play rammstein in the radio... no malice not even good spanish bands they decide they who is number one media here is very control by the way micheal jackson was kill by the illuminaty and satanic group control by the goverment he was trying to release some true about music then he got kill just like many others anyway japan has a lot more to offer in the future ....

Why did they ruin the end of the song with all the random misdirection, yelling and whatnot. Messed up the whole flow and structure. Like a big gaping hole.
god i love this band... all the musicians are truly skilled... skilled vocalist as well... they are popular in japan, but im surprised they arent more popular in america
@zerverize To be fair, most Japanese music is also incredibly bad. Tokyo Jihen/Shiina Ringo are my favorite artist(s) in the world, but I'll still openly admit that 99% of Japanese music is shitty. I'd actually say that overall America has more good artists than Japan, even though my favorite artist happens to be Japanese.
Is she ever my favorite, though! Every since back in high school (24 now), I've never once wavered from them being Number One.
@BenkaiDebussy lol, sureeeee. I did not say American music is bad. Its just, how can I say this, emmm different... ? People in USA like it that way I assume ? Which is why my comment was a response to @pumpkingoth because he/she was wondering why Tokyo Jihen is not famous here in USA. Your perception of shitty-ness is maybe because Japan is more original. USA main stream music is also heavily influenced by producers and record companies and also the difference in cultures.
@zerverize Most of the stuff there is just as influenced by record companies as in the US; almost every single boy/girl band member was raised to be a pop star from a very young age, and most pop stars are used heavily to market various products, star in dramas, etc. The US also has a much more developed "indie" music scene due to facebook, myspace, etc. Fewer Japanese use PCs (cell phones instead).
@aquaYsweet I disagree. She's not very generic. Her first American album was very experimental as far as pop music is concerned, and so was her Japanese album Ultra Blue.
@aquaYsweet That's totally cool. If you ever change your mind, definitely check out her Ultra Blue album. It's her best. :) I like Shiina/Tokyo Jihen as well as Utada.
@zerverize Lol, a large of people in American hate mainstream American music also. Mostly anyone in America who is a serious music listner goes indie or foreign. Mainstream is not good...
@JesterUrTomcat totally agree. I am an American musician/filmmaker and I totally hate mainstream american music because it is so fake and dry. I barely understand Japanese and this makes more since to me, plus it's got da funk! :D can't wait to live in Japan!!!! Only 2 more years!
Oh man, simply amazing ~ Thanks so much for uploading!! I love how the 80's are so back & TJ's little tribute to Michael Jackson here with the moonwalk. ^^
Also love the possible "Sounan" video reference with the pianist abuse via roses lol ;)
The song that got me into Shiina :D
