Suilen Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 2◯45 Score: 7,17 Album: N/A Big Sheensters: AMIT, Kyle-x (10) Little NishiNOsters: Antisocialites (3,5) The second half of Sheena's long-anticipated collaboration with millennium parade. The song is very sensual and portrays a future where love (sex?) is forbidden and frowned upon. I guess 2045 has something to do with Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, for which millennium parade performed the opening theme before. Though I love GITS, I've been avoiding those new series like plague, so I can't guarantee the accuracy of my conjecture. Out of the two, I prefer WORK, and while AMIT wished 2◯45 would grow on me, some things just weren't meant to happen (yet). Curaga was feeling himself, but then the man came on: "Okayyyyy, this one is sexy. Outro is kinda boring.” AMIT is literally climaxing while discussing the song: "her best full english song?” No, that's still la salle de bain, I fear. He also connects the song to mp's 2992, which probably makes more sense than the GITS stuff, but who knows. Anyway, he asked me not to share the full comment, but he also says women who sing YAS. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suilen Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 And one more for today... Le moment / 青春の瞬き Score: 7,18 Album: Gyakuyunyuu Kouwankyoku (Reimport vol. 1) Big Sheensters: mathekr, confide in me, Kyle-x (10) Little NishiNOsters: Curaga (3) Another song originally written for miss Kuriyama, this time for the deluxe version of her debut album, which flopped even harder than the original version on the charts, but I suppose that she did it for the arts. The song was also a b-side to 'Tsukiyo no Shouzou', which charted at no. 62. Maybe all this floppage inspired Sheena to self-cover those songs? Like, I totally get the desire to make your art more well-known (unless you're one of the few artists I dislike, they can keep theirs locked up). The song is about wanting time to stop and difficulties of being an adult, which is totally relatable. I also find miss Sheena's rendition to be superior this time, that was a little bit gorjus luv. Curaga appears to be perfectly comfortable with getting older: "This is another one, like The Creamy Season, that I thought I really liked, but the more I listened to it and tried to place it, it just isn't as good as her others.” Subomie is shocked that song was released around the same time as Sunny: "It's crazy that all of the actual good material she recorded around this time went to these compilation records, and none of it went on Sunny... There's got to be an artistic explanation for it.” Well, the song probably didn't fit the concept of SHINING BRIGHT LIKE THE SUN. Kyle-x is stanning: "It's always pleasing to me when there are more obviously electronic elements in the mix of her songs, it always sounds so fresh. I love the outro of this track too.” AMIT accuses his fave of recycling songs: "a good song, feels a bit too similar to ariamaru tomi outside the intro/outro, but maybe i'm crazy.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMIT Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) No drama from me today, I'm sorry. I'm just not in the right mental state for that at the moment. I'm enjoying the write ups while listening to Watashi to Houden. I love Ichijiku no Hana, sad to see it go already. I gave it a 9 because everything before and up to Ringo no Uta was a 10 or 9 for me. Love 2045 as well, but I get that some don't. Either way it's almost like a bonus track in the rate considering WORK is obviously the focus single! And yeah my 0 was very poorly thought out considering a certain mess is still in and these smashes keep falling out.

Invisibility Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Le moment is, in fact, not a moment. I appreciate she went into some electronic flourishes but it's too generic balladry for my liking.
