Just hearing his long '-ou' sound actually sounding like "ooohhhhh" rather than "AAAOOOOW" was refreshing. He's definitely improved.

Somehow the tone he had been using really clicked with me in earlier stuff (Another Morning being a great example) and then deteriorated and got kind of annoying (at it's worst between 2002-2006, I think).

I was excited after hearing stuff from Parts of Ooparts. Even though it was live, he was singing it so much more clearly and smooth compared to the last few years. I was hoping future releases would prove that it wasn't some sort of fluke, and I have to say, it's exactly what I was hoping for. I'm very satisfied.

I love the song.
The chick in the video really annoys me, but I enjoyed the video other than that.
It's like shart said, the chick just does not do it for me. She kinda reminds me of Kesha, or something along those lines.

Haha, Movement debuted at #11 on Oricon.

the pillows start writing good stuff, and their sales go down! Big surprise there.

Someone up this shiz so I can shamelessly leech.

Oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


Gloomy Night is even better than I was expecting.

DAT SOLO.

Gloomy Night intro makes me hard. I just wish their guitar tones weren't so boring.

I am happy.

The guitar tone is fantastic, you can actually hear that goddamn Orange crunch for once. Or whatever crunch it is. It actually exists on this single. FUCK YEAH.

All the songs on the single are about a solid B. None of them blow me away like I'd like a single to, but it's still an improvement over the previous release for sure. I think we have reason to be optimistic about the upcoming album.

Dude, Gloomy Night disappointed me. The guitars are so boring. I fell in love with Split Emotion. Sawao's voice is just unbelievable! completely awesome! And the bass line, as always, is incredibly good. Jun is a fucking genius! Gonna keep listening to this single. I'm happy with it. Hopefully, the album will be as awesome as the single . Good job, pillows!

Arn't you always in a constant state of dissapoint? Maybe now you're double dissapoint.

I gave the single fairly positive remarks. I like it, and I'm actually surprised how good some of the album previews sound.

But if we give out genius status for bass lines like the one in Split Emotion, then Japan must be swarming with bass guitar super brainiacs.
