I got mine today! n.n *dances* Listening right now (on Tsuretette Tsuretette). :3
I still love the bouncy wintery tracks. n.n Hehe
Edit 1: I noticed the theme for this one is rather subdued. Beige paint, a red sign, plastic coverings... many Masas and Miwas helping to put DCT together. The booklet is printed on plain beige paper more or less. Very interesting. Back to basics mebbie?
Edit 2: To The Beat, Not To The Beat has a VERY city feel. Reminds me of The Monster and MGO (and Sting, but that's not important). Still, very nice to listen to, especially on a gray day like this.
Edit 3: Ah Moh!! reinforces this. XD Very Sonic, sounds like something for a big resort or casino at night. So very Vegas (or whatever the Japanese equivalent is).
Edit 4: Ah... the big soaring love song. :3 Sounds very Mirai Yosouzu (though it probably has no relation to it). The synths and backing also carry along the city motif quite nicely...
Edit 5: Sayonara Meter/Tameiki Counter carries on the lounge/hotel motif from Ah Moh!! The album is notably subdued, I notice, much like it's exterior. The bouncy single tracks seem to bookend the downbeat middle of the album.
Edit 6: The extended section of True, Baby True definately sounds like some of Masa's earlier work. I also never realized before how much I love this bassline. XD n.n;
Edit 7: MERRY-LIFE-GOES-ROUND and Middle of Nowhere are just as catchy as the first time I heard them. :3 Almost Home I kind of hoped would remain a B-side, but... XD I suppose it fits on the narrative of the album. I also like the middle guitar section more than I realized. The album seems to be about heading to the city to try and make your dreams come true... and it doesn't work out. So you head back home, realizing a few things on the way. You finish school and meet someone you never realized you cared for and well, sometimes dreams do come true, in the most unexpected way. :3 Of course, this is just conjecture from the feel of the songs and the titles. X3
Just blabbin' n.n;
Edit 8: Don't remember the little bit at the beginning of Good Bye My School Days, in general the song seems to sound a little different. Though could be just me (and not remembering the correct version of it. XD) Still, very catchy. :3 If any song would work over here in America, it's this one, I think.
Edit 9: a song for you & a love song cap the ends of the album very nicely. It's odd, I keep on wanting to say they sound like The Monster/MGO fair, but honestly, it's all distinctively DCT. After you've done as much as they have, it's really hard to not sound like yourself, I suppose. XD
n____n Now press repeat.
