TheSlash 14,539 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 7. Akasaka Sad Average score: 8.62 Lowest score: 5 - @Garden Panty Highest score: 11 - @Secret Comment(s): @JINNOCIDE : Who the hell writes about jet lag??? YOU KNOW IT, RINA Here she talks about being away from a place she misses very much (Japan, I think. I know girl, I miss it too, even though I never went there!). It's the feeling of missing something or someone that you can't actually just get up and go to see. There's a lot of implications in the way, like 5.938 miles between the two things... idk It's funny because it's one of my highest ranked songs on the album but I don't have a lot to say about it. @_@ (given score: 9) Ew, David!

Garden Panty 407 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 It seems like I hate the album, but I really didn't want to give everything 8 and higher so I tried to give more varied scores Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRPGs Kween I catched one of her livestream where she went track by track, explaining lyrics, production and the chat was asking about it and she confirmed the reference.

TheSlash 14,539 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 That the song on #6 isn't Top 3 is a crime against humanity . I- You- We- They- Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 6. STFU! Average score: 8.85 Lowest score: 5 - @Lona Delery Highest score: 11 - @TheSlash (yes, I'm mad y'all ), @woowaguy, @Zed Comment(s): @JINNOCIDE : Another amazing track (I'm gonna say this a looooooooooot), but by personal preference it's not one of my favorites. It's a hard hitting song with metal influences that speak about people's preconceived notions about her. I remember her saying that she chose this song to be the first single to throw people off and it works perfectly. It's one of the most different songs genre-wise in the album. It works really well, but the hardness of it makes me skip it sometimes if I want something lighter or not put into replay mode. (given score: 8) @Sestri Levante : I swear I'm not trolling, these three songs are absolutely mind blowing. I love the nu metal influence and how quick they shift from that to 90s pop (given score: 10) Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about how sadness and depression have been passed on her from her parents from their immigrant experience and Rina, much like her parents, still doesn't feel at home anywhere, nor at peace with her identity. I mean ok it's pop music but Rina's lyrics are multi-layered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Average score: 8.91 Lowest score: 5 - @BillieGOAT Highest score: 11 - @JINNOCIDE, @ShesAMess Comment(s): @JINNOCIDE : Amazing opening to the album. My absolute favorite. The detail when she says "catch me before I fall" then the sounds goes as if someone's falling... ugh her mind The lyrics are excellent also. All the talk about traditional Japanese families. The bridge strikes me hard.... "mother and father you gave me life, I nearly gave it away for the sake of my sanity"/"mother and father I know you were raised differently", "now it's my time to make things right, and if I fail then I'm a dynasty" Like... wow. Who thinks of that? The whole subject of inconsistent life with your parents is described nicely here, with her trying to break away from her family's format, and she knows that if she fails, then she'll end up just as then. PERFECTION (given score: 11) @Sestri Levante : I swear I'm not trolling, these three songs are absolutely mind blowing.
