Graves Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Are any of y'all going to try and enter one of those infernal lotteries to get tickets to the Science Fiction tour? I made a new Apple ID just to get access to the Japanese App Store on my phone, idk if this is strictly legal or not but I'll be damned if I let the chance to see legend live slip through my fingers.
Graves Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 HIGHEST SCORE: 9 x 2 (scenekiller, Cruel Summer) LOWEST SCORE: 1 x 1 (Hey Dude) MY SCORE: 5.5 To date, this is Hikaru's first and only Christmas song. Apparently, this was written for all of the fans who expressed an interest in a Hikaru Utada-written Christmas song. ... White Light her impact ig... Hikaru spent about a year or two trying to write a Christmas song, but could not find the proper inspiration. And judging by the final product, I don't think they ever did. I kid. This is not an awful song or anything, but it's not gonna be displacing Mariah on anybody's playlists, is it? Admittedly I'm a bit of a grinch tho, I don't **** with any Christmas music. Maybe the other girls will be kinder? Even though Can't Wait 'Til Christmas wasn't a proper single, it was still used in an advertising campaign for Pepsi in Japan. Hikaru starred in the commercials herself, drinking a cool and refreshing Pepsi while standing in a snow-covered wonderland. 'Cus nothing says Christmas quite like capitalism. The girls thought this was pleasant, but not much else. Curaga called it "cute, not my fav." While AMIT went further, and thinks that it's "very cute and wholesome, reminds me of late 90s jpop piano ballads." 1
Graves Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Did y'all see that outage? omg why do the admins here HATE Utada??
Ewan Chaos Posted January 17 Posted January 17 ATRL biased against nonbinary excellence wbk... Let me drinking a Coke Zero in memory of this song's placement! 1
Cruel Summer Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Honestly I’ve always loved this song. I can’t really be that mad it’s gone already, but it’s a very pleasant listen, and it gets me in the spirit of the winter holiday season in a way most other things don’t because I hate traditional Christmas music. 1
AMIT Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I don't use Xmas music either, but I played this for the rate and was pleasantly surprised, cute sing

Whoa, I hope you get it! I guess I figured I am excluded by default since I’m so far away But it would definitely be worth the travel expense!
Graves Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Remember when I said this album was going to be getting a break? I lied. HIGHEST SCORE: 10 x 2 (bestfiction, Hey Dude) LOWEST SCORE: 1 x 1 (AMIT) MY SCORE: 7.5 Hunnies if you're gay... Described by Utada as "the most clubbiest sound on the album", On & On is the opening track on This Is The One ...at least on the superior Japanese tracklisting. The American release quite homophobically changed this to be the last track. Bad call. Gay lyrics aside, this is meant to be a jam that pumps you up. An opener if I've ever heard one. Island Def Jam have some nerve. Of course, if this had been the rightful first track, This Is The One would've charted top ten and gone multi-platinum. Mhm. Know that. Yeah, this is one of the tracks that got a meme-tastic revival last year in that Tweet about Utada's English lyricism. The iconic "burn it up like a gay parade" stole the hearts of homosexuals worldwide. It is a really funny track though, and a trashy bop. Did you guys know this was done by Tricky Stewart? Oh... you did? Okay. Props to Hikki for shouting out their queer fans on record before all of the western pop girls fell over themselves with their "just b urself!!" anthems a year later. Who says we want to be ourselves? Me? I just wanna dance the night-the night away... Bonus kii: the guy shouting in the background. Once you notice him, you'll never hear the song the same way again. Curaga has no time for the background singershouter: "The guy yelling in the back omfg 💀 Actually not a terrible song otherwise. HONEYS, IF YOU’RE GAYYY〜" Meanwhile, Ewan Chaos is still celebrating pride month: "Gay parade mention = I have to rate it an 8 or higher." 1

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try tho!
Ewan Chaos Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Yeah this being relegated from the opening track to the CLOSING song????? Homophobia.
