| 1.*Masturbating Smile Blindingly addictive, ne? I suppose it is a good a time as any to mention Kiyoharus often sexually explicit lyrics and flirtatious, suggestive stage antics. It all goes naturally enough with having the worlds sexiest voice. His stage presence is totally mesmerising, the way he crouches on the foldback bins and fixes you with that stare just hypnotises me everytime. Oh, the song..sorry I forgot..it's one of my favourites. |
| 2.**Faster Beat Gaah! Ubersong alert! Fuckin genius. Probably the greatest punk song ever written. The highest art often seems deceptively simple. "Oh stop being such a baby, such a baby.." That's not what he's singing BTW but it should be! |
| 3.*Spoon and Caffeine More sustained vocal excellence. |
| 4. 後遺症 -aftereffect- *Koishou Aftereffect Manages to be fast and furious and moody and intricate, all at the same time. Kuroyume really know how to build a song. Heartstopping bass and drums and suprisingly chilled guitar for such a punk classic. Never delivering the expected is Kuroyumes speciality. |
| 5.*Candy Yum, yum! Very unique and yet also a bit like every song you've ever loved. |
| 6. 少年 -screw mix- **Shounen Two Ubersongs on one album. No wonder it's my favourite.The ultimate Kuroyume song (at least for this month). Too stunning to prattle on about, but as a certain cowboy hatted individual used to say "Do ya self a favour...." Even the PV is stunning. Romaji and English Translation |
| 7.Tell Not nearly as interesting as Shounen, but then that would be impossible. I like it though, especially once it gets going. Possibly could have done with a slightly more unique guitar part. |
| 8*Rock'n'Roll You come to really love this song once you see a few live versions. It has great momentum, and really picks up the crowd. Lots of cool growling too. Kiyo really plays with his voice, which is why he is such a joy to listen to. |
| 9.*Hello CP Isolation A Specials like Ska song. Very nice, his voice really suits this kind of music. |
| 10.Ya-Ya-Ya! The trouble with producing so many blinding kick ass songs is that it's hard to maintain the quality indefinatley. This has it's moments though, especially towards the end and I like the words alot. "I wanna be your story Peace & Rock'n'roll" |
| 11.*Cowboy "I'm just a cowboy, I'm a drifting cowboy" In case you haven't noticed yet Kiyoharu is obsessed with Cowboy outfits. Hats especially, but belts and boots are a big favourite too. As for the song, well, I came to really love it in the end. As you do.. |
| 12.*Maria -screw mix- Mmm, well worth a star. Quite Ska like too. Impressive bass lines, even for Hitoki. Lots of cool vibrato. |
| 13.*Knees To Break I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt. As usual the complex vocals lift it above the ordinary. |
| 14.*Last Pleasure A speedy, wicked little gem. Even a groovy little bass solo. Amazing! Seeing as I can't think of anything else to say here are the lyrics, courtesy of Angels Garden .... EVERY TIME, 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 CRAZY TIME, CRAZY BOY, CRAZY GIRL CRAZY PLAY EVERY NIGHT 3,4,5 3,4,5 3,4,5 SLEEZY NIGHT, SLEEZY BOY, SLEEZY GIRL, SLEEZY COW TEST RUN, TEST RUN, TEST RUN ONE MORE TIME, 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 DESPERATE, DESPERATE, DESPERATE!!
