5/10 Not a particular wow factor regarding the music, but the story is definitely A1. It's also not something I would play on the regular, but it's a good song for debate and introspecting..Human greed and morality.
I've always liked eurobeat so I really enjoyed this one. The vocals are nice but I think they're a bit overdone. I think I would've enjoyed it more if there were less vocals.
Songs, girls Many glasses and nights Those were our hours Those were our lives Vain teenagers, we could do anything Phony kings, powerless princes Friends, and only them, are one's true wealth That's it
The time for the storms has come Before we could foresee it Impossible relationships Defeat, irony When everything rusts, when even our dreams vanish Only one land, one dock, one group remains Friends, and only them, are one's true wealth That's it
That's it
But once everything lights up Once fortune eventually comes by us Glory, celebration, symphony Ovation, treasure, arrogance While I'm being showered in tricks and amnesia Honor and riches What do I know about them, now? My friends, and only them, are my true wealth That's it
Honor and riches What do I know about them, now? My friends, and only them, are my true wealth My friends (or "My true wealth", depending on how you would repeat the previous section) That's it

Vocals are impecable, they remind me a bit of Franz Ferdinand, but more softer and fragile. Lyrics are on-point with the sound ambience. I love the instrumental progression at 1:39 and how it sets you in the mood of what happens at 2:09. A bit too generic for today's standards, but i think its fine considering the release age.
It's actually pretty good, even for a style i'm not particularly fond of. It's well-done.
The vocals are great, the percussion sounds great and has great rhythm, as do the melodies and such. It all works and flows together nicely and there's very little that seems to really clash. I find it hard to pay attention to lyrics unless they're at the front, but-- oh shit, the vocals are great!
I tend to pay attention to the pitch and sound profile of the voice as opposed to the actual lyrics, so i'm not really up for judging that right now.
But yeah. The atmosphere's great, the mood is great, and the song progressed fairly well. The ending could've been a bit longer with some sort of falling action where the slow drop of the guitar had been.
I don't really find it to be my sort of style and it doesn't resonate with me much, but I can at least state that this song is pretty great.
Not really something I'd normally listen to, as most rock styles don't interest me as much. With everything considered, it's not bad, but it feels somewhat cheesy and doesn't have the earthy mood or atmospheric quality I look for in songs.
Lyrically, the song seems pretty likely to strike some emotional chords in others, as it seems pretty relatable. It's also pretty energetic.
The progressions are fairly powerful and the drums are alright. So are the vocals and guitar.
I didn't see whatever coming after the first 24 seconds. 0:24~0:57 and similar parts reminded me of this. I don't know why, but it feels like either there's something missing to make it better, or some of the "instruments"(/sounds) used in this don't fit each other.

Not gonna talk about the lyrics. Just state that i dislike when controversial topics are used in any type of song, i think the song itself loses its purpose when that happens.
Generic 'shady-underground' melody. Doesn't has any musical figures? musical arrangements? (i don't know how they are called in english) that catch my attention.
I love trap, i really do, and i have a thing for korean rappers, god they really sound good when rapping. But MUSICALLY speaking this song is way too poor, i think the song has the purpose of 'giving a message' instead of 'getting into the listener'. That doesn't mean that the song is bad tho, maybe it's just not my cup of tea.
7/10
I enjoy the otherworldly feeling and the uniqueness, but I wouldn't listen to this in my spare time.
I love TONS of bands. It's so hard choosing one song!
So, I decided to go for a song which I think gives a similar vibe.
It's great, but it doesn't have the best reputation. I like to listen to it when I feel down because parabola is golden. You can't listen to parabola without parabol though. Not on my watch!
Pretty interesting indeed. Great rhythm and flow with lyrics. The mood is great and industrial, atmosphere's pretty metallic.
Some bits kinda make it a little cheesy or weird, like the "captain's announcement". Not a fan of it, makes it sound comical despite the musical context of a metallic industrial atmosphere, something i'd expect to sound heavy.
6/10
I like to feel a certain way as I’m listening to music.
This was just a rollercoaster of confusion for me as the composition itself is a bit unique..hard to get into the feel of the rhythm.
However, there were some parts I enjoyed, specifically 1:10-1:21.
6/10. I'm really familiar with the musician who does persona's music. His stuff has a pretty defined style, and I think it's really good... Sans vocals. I consistently dislike the vocals he uses. His music is much better as instrumental tracks. I don't know why, but every time he adds a vocalist to it, it just. It just never fits. It bothers me. Like, it's the right style of vocalisim, but it never really feels cohesive with the rest of the music.
A peculiar song. As it goes on, it becomes quite charming.
Really love the imagery overlapping the band playing, where the hands move on each beat, quite creative.
The general mood is... interesting? Can't quite describe it very well. But the driving force of this, and the atmosphere itself, all works well along with these really interesting progressions, and... yeah. It's enjoyable.
A bit discordant of a chorus contrasting the singing, perhaps, but it feels more human this way.
The video was unavailable for me. But I suppose it is this song?
It was actually this one, Tad. All good 0:
OT: 8.75/10
The name suits the song. It makes me feel as if I'm the only person alive in this world. There's also an indescribable emotion that still lingers. Eccentric taste in music.
The life I had, my friends could hear it
Wherever people waited for me, I didn't come
If I see both, if I bother
That means I'm disordered, yet blended
I'm too complicated, I will never choose
From the two sides, don't you ask me
Where I'm going, even apes ape the adept (lit.: "the wise people")
And those adept ones made boundaries to bind us all
Eh~ Ay-ay, Ayayay (If I'm a bother, well nothing changes)x2
Eh~ Ay-ay, Ayayay (If I'm a bother, well nothing changes)x2
Using boxes, we sort in there the people whom we won't understand ever
As the Man(/Human) is made of thousand of layers and each of them aren't big enough
I went through thousand of roads and shook even more hands (lit.: "ten thousands of hands")
We're enabled to like Brel and Megui*, and even our enemies (that's a long thing to explain)
I'm too complicated, I will never blend in
Your small groups, living in the present
Hence I'm still vacillating with those glasses
Hearing people wondering "when will the mask* break" (*as in "facade")
Eh~ Ay-ay, Ayayay (If I'm a bother, well nothing changes)x2
Eh~ Ay-ay, Ayayay (If I'm a bother, well nothing changes)x2
(In my life you appeared, oh liberty my dear
Life is about ambitions, more than people's opinions)x2

It was pretty nice and calm. The vocals is pretty soft and nice to listen to. Although the melody is really familiar, like I heard it somewhere before. I think it sounds really similar to the dango song.
Sounds a bit more chilled-out and calming with those acoustics compared to the original. Pretty nice. Although I think I prefer the original just because of its' energy and other instruments. The electric guitar and drums are especially 👌 👌 👌

I had posted this in the music channel on the OT discord as well:
initially, i thought this would've been really damn cool, those first few seconds really seemed to signal some interesting key changes or chord progressions in the future...
it sounded somewhat interesting and nice at first for those few seconds, but then once the tag came in, it ruined the mood instantly.
moving on from that, the actual verse was... eh. i feel indifferent to it. the melody's not bad, though.
after some time, it's not really all too bad. it's kinda about as good as i could really expect something like this to be.
generally not what i was hoping for though, felt a bit typical as well.
I personally don't like death metal song where the singers screams every line from their throat. I value the vocals very much in my song so that has to be a 4/10 from me.
EDIT: Also if someone would be so kind as to give me the link to the osu forums command page so I can figure out how to post video, I know I've been to this page before but I can't seem to find it again.
the first few minutes with the vocals had been generally lackluster, primarily for how slow-paced it was.
but the folk-dance thing we've got going on from there on sounded actually quite nice and redeemed it a little.

ah! as for embedding youtube videos, it's done by the [youtube][/youtube] command around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhUldwg9fsc, except the link is cut off for the video code itself, so it should be typed out like this:
[youtube]DhUldwg9fsc[/youtube]
I'm not aware of the command page, and I'm not familiar with the new site, as I presume you use the newer site instead. I exclusively use the old site, so it's a bit simpler, since the command's right there.
8/10, I really like this and it must be a blast to play on osu!, I am definitely gonna look for map of this song.
I am posting this since I really love Kaai Yuki and I am quite sad that she is not used more. Often people misuse her and it turns out awful but when done right, she is among my absolute favorite vocaloid
