All's well that ends well!

On the cassette front, I still have my Sony Walkman from 1990. It "looks" okay but I haven't tested to see if it still works! My Denon tape deck is with my dad a million miles away in Malaysia...

I know at the end of the day I am more likely to put on the record for kicks or listening to it mainly on Apple Music, but since we're going down memory lane with a cassette tape...

I really really hope there will be some harmonies on the vocal between Haru, Tomo, and Mami (or plus Rina, that would be perfect!). Somehow I suddenly realized I really missed hearing these girls sing together doing harmonies   since there's not much harmonies on the vocal on their last album

This would be really nice. Yeah, Haruna, Mami and Tomomi should sing together. Bands with a harmony like this are rare. I would love if Mami or an other member has a singing part but not sure if this is going to happen. A bit sad that there is no real b-side, only a remix...

These are most likely due to the orders that were to be paid at convenience store and the deadline has since lapsed, i.e. which would be automatically be cancelled and put back in stock on the store.

Also its SOLD OUT now.

All my cassette players and tape recorders gone. Nothing left. Just for the collection only.

It would be cool if they record a song like Playboy or SCANDAL IN THE HOUSE someday. Where each member sings her own version of the verse and all together singing the chorus.

I was just hoping for this situation, and sometimes checked victor site. Lucky.

Because it is limited. The band said so when they first announced the presale.

Technically, they said it was going to be a limited release the very first time they announced the release of the single on January 1st

there is still so much time left

I already ordered my shirt  .love.

Really pumped to have a physical single again. I didn't realize cassettes were coming back. Time to dust of my old cassette player I guess haha

capella teaser.. bold! btw, is this the first time they released single teaser in utube?
i dont remember if they done it before..

They've done stuff like this, but this is their first time making an a capella teaser.

From the teaser the lyrics seem very much like Rina. Can't wait to hear the full version.

It was a pleasure to watch that trailer with @tge’s haru avatar right there too   . I’ve held off recently on buying singles but we’ll see if I cave.

I wonder if the whole song is acapella. But I'm guessing this teaser is just the beginning of the song, and the backing track kicks in afterwards.

It's not It says that MAMI wrote the music, meaning there are instruments on the track.

But I'm guessing this teaser is just the beginning of the song, and the backing track kicks in afterwards.

Music probably goes along with the entirety of the song. It seems like they just wanted to have HARU sing a cappella for this teaser because it fits with the vibe of the shoot.

In her 'night drive' video, Rina commented on not wanting to do a "hang in there" song, as it didn't seem appropriate. This song sounds like it might be going for a longing for the fulfillment of an impossible wish; to stop time at the perfect healing moment. The look on her face at the end of the Budokan 2012 and Osaka-jo Hall 2013 shows, like she's trying to capture the moment and make it linger, makes me think this is a theme she's visited before, at least personally, but this time I'm getting the impression there's more there, more of a deep, almost desperate NEED. Of course you may have noticed by now I'm usually wrong about these things. but it might be that by long and serious consideration, Rina has captured the exact zeitgeist of the past year. If so, people are going to go crazy for this song.

Yeah good point, those lines reminded me of that uncanny chant in RINA's Oyasumi—
Enen ni tantan to — Eien ni ranran to
Endlessly, indifferently — Eternally blazing... 
I think TOMO also writes lines like that into her songs about everyday life like Sunday Drive. Each section of Laundry Laundry ends with
Vapor trails glowing in the sky—It seemed like the world was split in two
—isn't that like the vapor trails inYour Name (which nearly everyone in Japan must have seen)? The way they brought those lines out in the KFTD livestream concert, that was so moving.
I suppose the coexistence of an everyday moment with the eternal is "typically Japanese" but I don't notice a lot of other bands expressing it.

For those who can use JPU records. They got limited edition tape, but only have 100 copies.

I just bought one of those limited edition tape cassettes ... now I have to find my very old Walkman!

Of course I will

Super epic, thank you for uploading this! I love early access hehe
Great atmospheric rock song. It's amazing how much they matured in their songwriting. I guess I need to listen to it more and more to get familiar with it. They are wonderfullllll

I love the song, I can't wait to watch the MV !

Just listened to the full version. I can see now how the teaser footage and promo pictures fit in with the song. Looking forward to the MV.

Not a fan of this song at all. The beggining is really weak in my oponion. I'm sorry to sau this but I respect the band too much to say bad things about this song.
