Hey, I liked that, it really wasn't too bad. Only thing I didn't like was the lack of a decent guitar solo. Still, after the first listen I enjoyed it, the music video was a pretty cool concept too. Glad to see it featured Buster-kun. And the name makes more sense know. I thought it was Wake Up Do Do. Wake Up Dodo makes more sense

Pretty solid song. I wasn't paying very much attention to the song, though, as the video was pretty entertaining. I'll have to give it a bunch of listens later, sans video.

Yeah, what was with the solo? Maybe it was the Youtube sound quality, but it sounded really lame. Like Manabe had the wrong type of overdrive/distortion, and dindn't know how to work his delay pedal.
But hm. Cool video. Mega props for 916 animations. The song will probably grow on me. It was...pleasant. I liked how "light" the chorus was.
Definitely not as good as Scarecrow. If BOYS BE LOCKSMITH. had been replace by Wake Up! do do, then it would have been a more solid release. In my opinion.

The video is of course great, and I enjoy the song with or without it, but it doesn't really feel like single material, ya know? Guess I better listen to it repeatedly until it does....

I have to disagree with you. If this song replaced BOYS BE LOCKSMITH on Scarecrow, then I would barely listen to the single. Don't get me wrong, I like this song. I just think locksmith is much better.
Edit: After listening to it a second time, I think If wake up replaced Tsuyogari on Scarecrow, it would be a pretty great single.

Well it's not a single, just the title track. I guess this is only the third PV to come out without an accompanying single, including Kono Yo no Hate Made. This is also the first time the pillows themselves haven't been in a video, but it's turned out well i think.

Oh ya.. well, I guess I had better renege all over my previous comment. On another note, I do like that the lyrics are rather easy to understand :0)

Wow. First pillows song in a while that hasn't disappointed me. It sounds a lot fresher than their other new stuff. I like it better than Scarecrow. The PV is a lot more fun, too. Maybe this album will be pretty good.

Really? I found the song to be kind of uneventful and low-key.

maybe it's because i haven't listened to it enough yet but; i agree.
it doesn't really stand out as much as BOYS BE LOCKSMITH. or Tsuyogari in my opinion either...

It's not overwhelmingly awesome, but I dug it. Of course, it will also sound better on the album.

Loved the video. I was smiling like a moron watching it.
The song... I need to listen to it again. I liked it (though I was hoping for a "louder" chorus), but I don't know if it's something I'll find myself listening to in a month or two.

I liked it, sounds like their going for that mellow sound again. It's the second video that doesn't have the pillows in it, instant music being the first.
good intro song, dunno if its as good as my foot as an intro song yet for lack of solo pwnage.
