I love the song, nice sound to it. Culen was so wrong about this. The video is not bad either. Its simple.

It's really grown on me. I wonder what the other two songs on the single will sound like.

Man, the song is like their most recent stuff plus some avant-garde business... I'm referring to the random slowdown around the time of the second verse. Cool stuff!

I liked the video. Very artsy; like Michel Gondry. Anyone notice that it's Bozo the Clown? Just hope no kids got seizures when the crazy shit happened in the middle.

The PV was interesting even though I didn't get any sound. D:
Sawao, Yoshiaki, and Shinichiro must've moved a lot to do all that crazy shit.

I didn't like the video very much. It just felt like The Pillows are getting lazy with their PVs. Sono Mirai wa Ima at least had the neat little spaceships and the fancy compositing going for it. This one bored me, although Manabe looks totally metal. I wish he'd thrown up the horns.
As for the song itself, it's okay. The breakdown that comes around 1:25 really annoyed me, though. It feels jarring and out of place, and breaks the song up into two distinct fragments when there's no reason to. The pause before the solo sorta does this too, but I find it much mroe forgivable.
Other than those gripes with the song though, I like it.

Yeah, I didn't see the need for that first break, but I kind of liked the one before the solo. The song is simple yet quirky and has a strangely upbeat tone. Works for me.

The bridge before the solo was nice.

I actually thought both of those parts were interesting. The first one is something unexpected; at first I thought something was wrong with my video, cause I didn't expect the song to slow down. So, it's not necessary, but I think it's a cool, fun part. Oh, and the part before the solo is great.

i really liked the slow down before the solo and the bridge before it. But yeah i thought the first slow down was kind of out of place, it didnt even sound very cool. But overall i like the song alot and its a cool video.
