Cuckoo no su no shita de is pretty great... almost as great as [url=https://www.facebook.com/pillowsjp/videos/468815656634895/]Mafu's incredible new fan page[/url]. Like! Like!

Also, this is pretty obvious, but the title "Cuckoo no su no shita de" is a takeoff on the movie title "One flew over the cuckoo's nest", which is titled "Cuckoo no su no [b][i]ue[/b][/i] de" in Japan. Maybe the English title of the song will be "One flew under the cuckoo's nest".

oh that page is yours? i liked it a couple of days ago. props for that wonderful valentine's day card!

New song sounds pretty good. The radio rip is so compressed that it sounds terrible, though. I'm sure it'll sound better on the album, regardless, but hopefully it'll be less compressed than Moondust which was squashed into oblivion.

Not sure if I LOVE the new one, but I can say I think that I enjoyed it more than the previous new song.

I'm pumped for the new albummmm

Facebook dumbed down the quality. Apparently their encoding is shitty, or something. Here's the [url=https://mega.nz/#!vMQWBKaC!wrCbqLSiUlDNWtlRM-Iw3t7ISM-PDS-8CDeEdNVG78w]mp3[/url] of the radio rip.
I recorded this myself from the live broadcast. It's probably the highest quality you will get from a radio rip.

This album is being mastered by the same studio who did Moondust.

I'm okay with that...I wasn't the biggest fan of Moondust as an album, but the production was pretty good.

Thanks for the rip, and the DL!

It should be explained that mastering isn't the same as production. The sonic aesthetic of the record is already 99% set by the artist and the producer. The mastering studio just does the final compression/EQ touches and makes sure songs' volumes are consistent and such for release. In the case of Moondust's mastering, this mostly meant heavily brickwall-limiting everything, which sucked a lot of the life out of the recordings.

I'm crossing every available appendage in hopes that leaving Avex means a different crew on the production end, regardless of using the same mastering studio.

To be honest, I think that the dynamics of the bits that have been posted so far sound like there's hope. Guess we'll see.

THAT impact though.

perhaps sawao is drinking less beer now?

Ahhh I wanted to post it, I just saw it on fb lol

those titles
that bike
that image

I can't process all of this

I think Sawao's only artist friend must have either broken up with him or died, so all he can do is buy stock images now. Tragic story, really.

[color=#00FF80]woah, the pillows go on the internet. this future is here now [/color]

i just had a dream about skydiving a few days ago lol wow
