1.*Liar
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Kill me, kill you, fuck off! Okay I know it's not quite what he is saying, but that is what it should be. This song has since become a big favourite at lives, probably because it builds up so satisfyingly. Cute PV too.

2.*Tripper
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Here he effortlessly outdoes every punk rock singer in history. One of the first songs I heard so naturally a favourite even though I've played it to death now.

3.Private Thirsty Night
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Yes, like this alot.

4.*Honey Honey
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
The way he sings Honey towards the end there is so graphic! So full of longing and desire. The remix is even darker and more urgent, and the voice has become much harder and more abrasive (distortion).

5.Loveless Lover
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
A kind of shuffly, smoochy song. Very seductive. Sounds like he has his tongue in your ear lol.

6.Discover
Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
Undertones style punk with full on acid vocals.

7.*Mr (YA)
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
I love this song so much I'm not going to attempt to deconstruct it. Gorgeous vocals, very heartbreaking.

8.1968
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Not a favourite although it has its moments. Short at least.


9.Teenage
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Did't like this much at first either but for some reason it is growing on me.

10.*Tokyo
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Yes I like this one alot. It really builds in a most satisfying way to that cascading chorus. He goes off spectacularly towards the end. Reminds me a little of that singer from Pavlovs Dog (a wierd 70's band) but of course he is much better.

11.*Out Of My Sight
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
Sex Monkey? Finally I find out he is saying Fat Monkey lol. Another heartbreakingly beautiful one. Love this song too much. Chorus is truly exquisite. Lovely open warm guitar riffs. Right away!

12. 憂鬱という名の夢
*Yuutsu to iu na no yume

Words: Kiyoharu
Music & Arrangement: Sads
I guess this is the fucking song. Very slow and sexy. The more you listen to it, the more you like it. The creeper type of song.

13.*Happy
Words &Music: Kiyoharu
Arrangement: Sads
It really is quite exhuberant, exploding like fireworks. But still with that trademark dark undertow. Masterful! Possibly the best song on the album, which is an acheivement.
"It's like a flower, I like it!"
Me too ;)
