The balance of this song is really good. It doesn't lose the classic guitar fork sounds that are Ichiko's trademark, but some other sounds are added in the middle of the song to make it more groovy. I was also surprised that the song sounds darker than her previous ones released last years. I think I should expect the new album to be completely different from them.
The most surprising moment is the second song, "chojin (super man)". This is the longest song on the album and the melody changes dramatically. The lyrics of "Yamete (which means "stop" in English)" sung in the middle of the song are very hopeless yet beautiful. I like the fact that the song sounds like the climax of the album, but it appears on the second.
I went to their live concert a few days ago. It was fantastic!

At first, I needed more complicated productions and strctures ( I needed more songs like Venice Bitch), but now I've found what I just wanted were her sweet singing, beautiful melodies and some nice instrments. The guiter solo on The greatest literally breaks my heart. Also, some songs use the same chord progression, which makes me cry. One bad thing about this album is that it is too sad to listen to this album when I feel depressed.
Easier to listen to than Death Grips. Iconic samples and ideas are here.
