Don't you know, Metal? Adding a skinny white chick to your media content for the sole purpose of eye candy = MOAR PROFITS.[/quote]

When I first saw the skinny white girl, my first thought was
"lol, manabe transformed into a tranny" Then she kept appearing..kind of annoying and she seems really out of place in a way.

I approve Split Emotion. And the girl's a qtπ.

Awesome song! Less than awesome PV, but that means absolutely nothing. I know Gloomy Night is going to be great, too. So far these songs are sounding much, much better and smoother than anything from Ooparts. I think the last single that felt this solid to me was Ride On Shooting Star, or maybe Shiroi Natsu.

The most awesome recent singles that I'm looking for Movement to compare to are The Third Eye and New Animal. Both of those singles had really cool songs on them.

So that hot white chick's replacing Jun as the new bassist right? Because she won't have any problems with a visa I'm sure, and she's a lot cuter than Jun too.

But damn, can't wait til we get an HQ MP3 of this. It sounds really crunchy, and Jun has some interesting stuff going on with his bass. This is shaping up to be another awesome single, and another example of the pillows' kick ass b-sides. I believe this marks the second time a b-side has gotten a video, correct? Also, whoever mentioned the pillows haven't been playing b-sides live, that isn't true. I remember seeing video of Slow Down and Boys Be Locksmith. Finger Post and Mr. Droopy are both on the Pied Piper DVD. Sawao is very good with playing all is songs. Seriously, he's one of the few artists, Eastern or Western, that actually plays a majority of their discography, hits or not. B-sides are always randomly added into setlists, as are rarer album tracks. And also unlike a lot of bands, when they have a new album, they'll play EVERY song from it on the tour supporting it. So I'm sure some live vids of these two b-sides will pop up somewhere.

Really getting excited for this album now, much more than I was for OOPARTS and Pied Piper!

I completely agree Tidus! These are my two favorite singles from the past 5-6 years. Very awesome material on both Side A and Side B

It's like they found her in a crack house and told her to dance for a couple grams. That's why she's so listless.

She's not unattractive, but she doesn't seem very attractive either.

However, she is white. What is with that?

I noticed Sawao was playing with his... guitar very furiously here.

I like the trashy, low tech aesthetic and static camera with harsh lights because it matches up pretty well with what Sawao is playing. The whole song seems spaced out very well. The emotion in the singing mixed with the electronic bell chimes in the chorus sounds awesome. Very happy with it.



I think the shoot lighting mixed with the sparkly dress and gestures worked perfectly as intended; that is to say they had a VERY SPECIFIC image of what they wanted for the video. Sawao probably thought of some PV from some other artist or time period (possibly North American) and was like, "How can I goof on that?" I think they may have been simply experimenting with video, mixing "lol sexual themes" with their typical everyman humor. The song is probably about a girl... Possibly falling for a girl he shouldn't. I heard "Hospital" somewhere in the second verse.

In some strange way, this video reminds me the non-fiction and ameagari ni mita maboroshii PVs

That's not strange. Same lighting. :/

I lol'd. Sheer and I were talking about how awesome the verse is on this song. Beyond just the riff, Sawao really works the vocal tone a lot, and not just in dynamics. Take a closer listen, it's pretty good stuff.
