More Kashima = more delicousness, for sure, haha.

I have to admit, Tabaso Disco and And Hello! both grew on me. :x

Those two are good, especially And Hello, IMO.

This collection does seem a bit unusual. I would've thought that a "Singles Box" or something along those lines would have been a better choice, something that would give existing fans more of a reason to own it. Collect all the b-side singles together like [i]Kimi To Boku To Otsuki Sama, Lorelai, Patricia (Single Ver.), Kimi To Futari, Boku De Irareru You Ni[/i] etc. from all the way back to Pantomime until now. I don't think any of that material has ever been collected on one release before.

[quote="Son Goshin"] Also of note, not sure if this was mentioned, but the liner notes list Kashima as the bassist for Sekai wa okujō de miwataseta and Chelsea Hotel. I'm loving the fact that Kashima is back, I gotta say.[/quote]
So what you're saying is Jun getting step-dad drunk is the best thing that happened to the pillows?

I'd really like a collection of pre-AMAP singles, but the band only ever seems interested in the older material around their anniversary. Though with Kashima and Ueda around, perhaps they'll become nostalgic and want to release more of the first and second movement material.

The new album as a whole will let us see for sure what's up, but I'm pretty excited to hear multiple different bass styles.

Yo, did I not like Fighting Pose back in the day? Cause I am loving it now.

No... not at all. What I'm saying, is that it's awesome that Kashima is even back in the mix. It sucks that Jun is gone, but at least the pillows have reached back to their two previous bassists in Kashima and Kenji. Who knows if they will ever have a permanent bassist again, but at least it seems like Kashima is going to be regularly helping out the band, and we get to hear him laying down some pretty nice bass on these tracks instead of a newcomer.

Meh... it just sounds like a retread of Sick Vibration, and not a very good one at that. It's not horrible, but Sick Vibration does it so much better. I don't think it helps that it's an OOPARTS b-side. Luckily, we got some pretty good recent b-sides in Snoozer and Hiking.

I'd like to hear their self-cover of Sekai Wa Okujou De Miwataseta, if anyone who ordered this wouldn't mind uploading and sharing. I can't shell out the dough for the collection unfortunately, but I'd really appreciate getting to hear the new track, if possible!
