 Re: [2011.06.08] Comic Sonic - New Single
Okay... that's actaully a really cool PV. Sawao with a Flying V? Awesome. I haden't listened to the song since I heard it in the ED theme of that anime, but I like the full version alot more now.
I wonder if Sawao is a Michael Schenker fan?

PV's animation makes me think of that Polysics PV. I'll give it a full listen later today sometime, applying to jobs and overseeing the lead guitar tracking for some stuff my band's working on lol.

Yeah, Electric Surfing. The Noodles PV for Grease is also similar.

 Re: [2011.06.08] Comic Sonic - New Single
It's speedier than I thought it would be, I was thinking it'd be a minute or so longer. I'm glad it's 3:00 because from the sket dance ending I got the impression that the verse was going to be more prominent. The uneven verse is in context now, and I'm not as put off by it as I was from the condensed version. It's definitely not my favorite pillows verse but what can I do?
What's funny to me about this one is that I like all the bells and whistles; I like the intro section and it's uses throughout the song, I like the melody of the chorus and that accordian sounding bit in the back, I like the spiced up second verse and I like the solo. But the first verse leaves me a little cold. Chorus is standard issue.
And about that solo; I thought it was pretty cool how it dives down, then it kinda bubbles up and up to the finish. Sounds cool... but why is there nearly no breathing room after it!? BAM, take home chorus. I don't know guitar but I'm goddamn positive they could have added even a few quick notes to lead back into the chorus. The last notes of the solo sound like, WAY up there and it just DROPS back into place. I just find it a bit awkward.
I like the mood and the video is wonderful. The song is far from shitty, yet... miles from awesome.

Another merely "okay" pillows song that I'll rarely listen to. PV was sort of cool, but quite derivative as others have already noted.

 Re: [2011.06.08] Comic Sonic - New Single
Yea, just another ok song. We've been getting too many of these lately. On the bright side, we haven't gotten anything that is absolutely abhorrent. Still, would love to hear some more gems from Sawao because I know he's capable. That was a really great video though.

 Re: [2011.06.08] Comic Sonic - New Single
Very cool PV, I can think of several parts of that that would make an excellent wallpaper if I can get rid of the text in the lower left hand corner. The song, like others have mentioned, is not that impressive. [quote="lo-fi boy"]though what's up with the jumpsuits/polysics vibe? yuckk[/quote] What's wrong with Polysics?

I really enjoyed the PV, the song did get better for me after listening to the complete version.

The PV shows the bad guys from the wake up dodo PV. nice little touch there. (like how the wake up dodo PV had a cameo of the Penalty Life jail dog.) I really like this song.
