Suilen Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Between Tomorrow and Today Score: 5,9 Album: Ukina Big Sheensters: gingguu, Invisibility (10) Little NishiNOsters: Curaga, fauxtography (1) An instrumental song released as a single. Nothing much to discuss here. The visuals are lacking as Sheena isn't present on the cover, so I had to use this random sexy picture from that year. I mean, it's nice, talented queen etc, but I'll have to partially agree with some of the comments below. AMIT cannot stop shading Mr. Neko: "good, for an instrumental... why is this better than basically all her other saito neko songs?” Curaga is being mysterious: "Lemme keep it cute...” Meloetta Carey stans a bit: "Instrumental music isn't my thing but I like the eery jazz/musical Coraline-ness of it all.” Kyle-x is giving that one Alfred Hitchcock film whose name I forgot: "The song that plays when I watch @AMIT sleep through the window.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suilen Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 That's a wrap for today, big thanks to everyone who's commented, will probably try a different time on Friday. Will appreciate any post-factum comments, too. The recap: 44. Kono Yo no Kagiri - 4,14 43. NIPPON - 5,66 42. Saihate ga Mitai - 5,85 41. It Was You - 5,86 40. too good - 5,89 39. Between Tomorrow and Today - 5,9 I remember @Curaga being bewildered that an instrumental track could outlast vocal tracks, but yeah, that happened. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I gave Kono Yo no Kagiri my 0, so I figured at least one song would be lower I am surprised NIPPON is out so soon! But no skin off my nose Thanks for the reveals!

Subomie Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 hours ago, Suilen said: Kono Yo no Kagiri / この世の限り Score: 4,14 Album: Heisei Fuuzoku Big Sheensters: confide in me (9) Little NishiNOsters: Curaga, Invisibility (0), madonnas, fauxtography (1) The first single to leave us is Sheena's nepotism anthem that features her brother, Junpei. Apparently, he also sings or something, though only one of his albums ever charted at no. 45, and two of his singles charted in the top 50, one of them due to being a dorama tie-in. So, his sister gave him the first and the last top 10, how generous of her. The song's title can be translated as both 'The Limit of the World' and 'The End of One's Life' because Sheena loves her ambiguity, though considering the lyrics, I'd say the latter is more apt. We also have the 'official' localization of the title as 'Memory', but I'm not feeling that one, like the majority of her localized titles. To justify her brother's inclusion, Sheena said that the song is about familial love, so if we take that into consideration, then it could be about spending the last days on Earth with your family (think Lars von Trier's Melancholy). A very poignant message, which didn't resonate much with the users, either due to the lacking quality or them being unable to relate, and I'll leave it you to figure out why. My personal verdict is that not everybody can be Aly & AJ. In a hilarious display of barking at the wrong tree, Subomie assumes that Curaga will be willing to perform this song as a duet with him 'as part of a slapstick musical number on finale night' and implores us to get the tickets. Meanwhile, all Curaga wants is to get the hell out of here and refers to the song as 'so corny 😬💀.' I hope that their relationship will survive this mishap. The biggest fan AMIT says that while 'the chorus isn't terrible, the traditional style isn't for him.’ I suppose that's how he felt when GaGa released Cheek to Cheek, too. Meloetta Carey provides some positivity: 'this is super fun.’ Y'all could never make me hate such a camp disaster. The girls who get it... etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
