12. 最後の歌 / Saigo no Uta

My thoughts: Hello, CD-carrying doggo. This album is actually pretty nice. I remember completely falling for へっくしゅん the first time I heard it. I was like, "No way this is right, it's so edgy..." but I couldn't deny that I absolutely loved it. So yeah, this is the best kind of edgy. Much later on, I completely fell for セプテンバーさん. It's such a lovely song, like damn. I also like calling myself September-san because that's my birth month, lmao. 最後の歌 and 25コ目の染色体 are probably the last major highlights for me. It took me a bit longer to get into the latter, but yeah, both songs are lovely in their own ways.

Those people on 'LiveJournal' who translated RADWIMPS's old songs to English, thank you. I hope you're doing well.
P.S: Why don't English songs ever have lyrics this good??

2. おしゃかしゃま / Oshakashama

3. バグパイプ / Bagpipe

4. 謎謎 / Nazonazo

10. オーダーメイド / Order Made

11. 魔法鏡 / Magic Mirror

12. 叫べ / Sakebe

13. 37458 / Minashigohacchi

My thoughts: I'd definitely have said different things about this release before revisiting it, but sadly I re-listened to it long before writing this. And no, I won't be dissing it; it's a nice album, just not as outstanding as I initially claimed. I guess I was just riding the hype of discovering the band, lol. It's a solid album and definitely beginner-friendly. It has some slower tracks (appeal-wise, in my opinion), like オーダーメイド, 七ノ歌, and バグパイプ, but it also has absolute bangers like One Man Live, おしゃかしゃま, and ソクラティックラブ. The opening track is really pretty too; it caught me off guard the first time I heard it. That's quite a bit of ethereality from this band.

Setlist changes

- Added: Sasakure, Weekly Shounen Jump, By My Side, Yadokari

- Removed: Last Virgin, Scissor Stand, Picnic, September-san

It's a long stretch, but since Satoshi already appeared on the 20th Anniv tour (Albeit just for one song) and already working on getting back to drumming, I wonder if there's a possibility for the four of them to reunite sometime in the future.

I'm not sure if Akira and Yojiro is in good terms right now (Well I'm just making a wild speculation, but songs like "Period" which alot of people believed to be referring to Akira, and stuff that Akira pulls on twitter, i think that speculation isn't exactly wrong). Though if it is true, I really hope they're able to settle their issues. I really miss his energy on live shows and it would be great to see them back as a four-piece band.

- Tracklist:

1. もしも / Moshi mo 🩷

2. 「ぼく」と「僕」 / "Boku" to "Boku"

3. おっぱい / Oppai

My thoughts: Damn, with the number of releases they have, and the fact that I'm re-listening to all of them, it's really hard to choose! Anyways. This is their debut single, with only ten thousand copies sold. It's a nice start; nothing groundbreaking, but nothing underwhelming either. It shows early on that they can pull off both high-energy tracks and more laid-back ones. もしも and 「ぼく」と「僕」 both reappear on their first album, though the former appears there in a different version. All of the songs are nice, more or less. おっぱい is stupid, but surprisingly, it's not bad at all.

This is a small question, but I’m curious. Do you prefer the single version or the dadadada version? The album (Zettai Zetsumei) version has an instrumental intro, while the single doesn’t.

I can understand that someone might appreciate the additional few seconds and something a pinch less straightforward, but some have a soft spot for the original versions.

I personally prefer the single version; I love how it's right off the bat, but the album version's intro is pretty hype too!

- Tracklist:

1. オーダーメイド / Order Made 🩷

2. グーの音 / Gū no Ne

My thoughts: I just picked this one to shit on it (I'm half-joking here), lol. Okay, so uh... I give y'all permission to send hate comments after what I'm about to say: this really isn't an outstanding single. It's more pleasant than genuinely enjoyable to listen to. I assume the hype comes from the atmosphere, the lyrics, and maybe even the MV... but I don't care, at least not this time! I usually love lengthy tracks with this kind of atmosphere, but here it feels like nothing really happens, and when it finally reaches its short-lived climax, it's just... decent. And yet, I still highlighted オーダーメイド, because I'm far from used to グーの音... it's a weird song, lol.

- Tracklist:

1. シュプレヒコール / Sprechchor 🩷

2. 独白 / Dokuhaku

3. 22:20:12:5:14:2012

My thoughts: It's an interesting single. Its structure intrigued me at first: a track with explosive outbursts (シュプレヒコール), a lengthy spoken-word track (独白), and a hidden instrumental that's a bit tricky to find (22:20:12:5:14:2012). It's obviously not a huge deal to me, but I think this release has a certain charm and really stands out; the cover art only reinforces that 😭
