new single Noudouteki Sanpunkan

hoooooo telat apdet. single baru noudouteki sanpunkan udah agak lama keluar nya.
Berisi dua lagu baru yaitu :
1. Noudouteki Sanpunkan
2. Gaman

Pertama denger rada kaget gara-gara tekno nya kerasa banget hahaha (menurut saya).
Emang jenius banget band satu ini. Noudouteki Sanpunkan (active for three minutes long) sama seperti judulnya, lama lagu nya pas banget 3menit. Di pv nya emang ga pas 3menit karena kena intro pv nya beberapa detik. Tapi pas liat perform live nya. Bisa pas 3 menit, pas mereka maen ada itungan menit nya gitu hahahaha (bravo). Denger-denger judul nya diambil gara-gara Shiina Ringo berlatih moonwalk 3menit/hari dan diikuti sama personel yang laen. Liat kan di PV nya mereka pada jago moonwalk.

Denger-denger nih (denger-denger lagi) februari ini bakal launching album baru Tokyo Jihen. Can't wait. Semoga bener nih berita nya.

The chart works in terms of songs or albums, so 3min is the top downloaded song. Considering albums are mostly foreign music and full length albums, it is rare to find a single on the list. Out of the 152 ratings listed, 125 are 5 Stars, 14 are 4 Stars, 5 are 3 Stars, 1 is 2 Stars, and 7 is 1 Star. Gaman is incorrecty listed as "mitei" meaning "without a title" so some of the negative reviews reflect the mislabeling and not the impression of music. Overall, Jihen still does very well for itself.

And while we are on the iTunes Topic, I saw Sanmon Gossip in the top 100 download albums while looking for the single, pretty good considering it fighting the entire foreign and domestic catalogue of new releases, including Gaga and such, and for being 6 months old at this point.

Whenever she samples different dialects (like the Yoshiwara dialect, or the old-style speech at the beginning of "Kenka Joutou") she has always seemed to take great enjoyment from rolling the different-than-normal sounds around in her mouth, and really getting into the accent.

But here, no. It sounds sterile and boring. It's like she's saying Kansai-ben words, but completely as a Kanto/Tokyo person--reciting them without trying to nail the accent. Sucking the life out of them. Ugh. I don't like it. Osaka-ben is soooo much fun, and this just sounds dull and lifeless.

Like take the first line, "zaken na." I've heard this phrase many times and it's always said like " 'zakeennn naaaaaaa!" But she just says it shortly, clipped. "za-ken na." So boring!! I can't get over it. I just don't think she took full advantage of the words here. (The parts of the song that do sound full and throaty? Not sung in Kansai-ben.)

Obviously, this was done on purpose to fit with their idea of how the song was meant to be, and I get that. But I don't like the end effect and how it sounds. And honestly, this sort of clipped, dull speech is something I've come to expect from Jihen/Variety-era songs. They just really know how to make any cool lyrics sound utterly boring when sung thanks to a lifeless melody. It drives me crazy.
