Obviously if one isn't a fan of 90's music, then you probably won't appreciate it haha. But, I guess it still stands as a preview of a TK produced song featuring a bunch of artists

And I believe it's only being performed in Tokyo.



I laughed at that first video; I'm sorry, I'm not even trying to be mean, but the first 2 girls kinda sucked, then those 2 guys on the video screens blow them out of the water with these super impassioned vocals, then those dudes start rapping some nonsense, then Namie is like, screaming, then that woman shrieks "You are the one" in this high-pitched cat wail....OMG. Comedy only the 90s could bring.

I actually really like You are the One, but it has to be taken in context. Those were most of the top famous artists of the time and that song kind of emphasized what those artists were most famous for at that period.(which accounts for the weird parts that you mentioned.) Komuro took those aspects from each artist and emphasized them big time. So actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear Ayu's most crazy vibratto ever in THNX A Lot....
What always stood out to me most in this song though were that Namie's vocals were clearly the best. As others have been mentioning, we might see the same thing happen in THNX A Lot with Koda Kumi.

LOL, I love this post. Seriously though, that song was a MESS omg. I don't know if it's possible for this new one to be worse than that, but it just might be with all of these random voices that won't go together well at all.

Lol, I'm actually a big fan of 90's music () but even I found that to be just too much. Even Namie's part (which I actually thought was pretty good) couldn't save that trainwreck... THX A LOT is in some serious trouble...
