the ocean 67,601 Posted May 17, 2022 the song is not even remotely as bad as marina and it’s a bit sacrilegious to even compare the two like a campy fun pop song with basic lyrics is not a marina faux-political flop 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitter Boy 16,560 Posted May 17, 2022 I think the singles for SAWAYAMA should've been: Dynasty STFU! XS Love Me 4 Me Who's Gonna Save U Now Comme des Garçons (Like the Boys) The deluxe could have not existed at all and I wouldn't be bothered. Lucid is cute but the standard album eats it up and is the only bonus track I use 1 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the ocean 67,601 Posted May 17, 2022 am i the only one that loved the sawayama single run? stfu was a moment in history and anyone who doesn’t like it might’ve seen too much of themselves in the lyrics xo i am choosing to ignore chosen family 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chosen Family shouldn't have been a single imo. i don’t think anything else could’ve been the lead single honestly maybe dynasty but even then it’s definitely more of a slow burn rather than the sound of getting punched in the face which no other track really sells maybe i’m just defensive of it because i was just becoming a fan and it really got me gooped in that moment 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Dynasty would've done great because it's so big and only 3 minutes long (for the sake of streaming numbers) yet it encapsulates the sound of the album very well imo. But I'm biased because it was the first Rina song I heard ever so I thought it was like the perfect introduction. Anyways, was a misstep of mine not to put STFU in the singles run I put above 0 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalvaWHORE 34,090 Posted May 17, 2022 Tokyo Love Hotel is the lead single for me. 1 hour ago, avenue said: i am choosing to ignore chosen family it's a cute vibe but 90% a skip for me 3 Quote @WHORE OF TROPICO ⇨ @SALVAWHORE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336 Posted May 17, 2022 STFU! seemed to be very unexpected or astonishing when it came out, which is something that 'This Hell' lacks tbh, but XS perhaps could've been a better lead single. I don't know what Chosen Family is though... edit: omg this hell coming tomorrow 1 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336 Posted May 18, 2022 Chosen Family at least has catchy melodies but its instrumentation is awfully generic that I can't stand it much 3 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
