I just listened to samples of Ryuuseigun & LITTLE BEAT RIFLE! I want 'This armor' now!!

infection is the best song ever o_o

I really loved the 2nd half of "This Armor" starting from "Our Song" onwards, most of the songs before that sound kinda laboured and tired. I'd say "Sugar High" is her best album, but it's up to you, really. Or you could just get her best album first and then work from there. It has both "ryuuseigun" and "infection", so yeah. =)

I'd say don't get her Best-of album. :P You'll find that when you eventually get all 3 of her original albums it'll be worth your money.

But oh...the single version and album version of 'Little beat rifle' is very different...single version upbeat, album version = ballad. And I agree with what luminaire said about the track order of 'This armor'.

Ooh! LITTLE BEAT RIFLE ballady...I like ballads! :D

She looks a lot like Mika on her new single, on the second version of the cover...

Geezus your avatar scared me BanFan ^^;; scary Ai... anyways I LOVED EVERYTHING about 'This Armor' I think it's her best piece of work and then followed by 'Sugar High' which was my least favorite at first but after I bought it and really listened to it, it's just... AMAZING... speechless really. I have to say every one of Chihiro's works is AMAZING... maybe I really like the beginning of This Armor because of 'ROLLIN' and 'Ibara no Umi' which are some of my favorite songs by her. Eekers I just love ONI!! I SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT TILL NEXT WEEK FOR SODATSU ZASSO!!

PS Our Song is a masterpiece haha I cried when I heard that song it's so amazing...

Which makes her look very hot. :D

Still no sign of a PV yet, there'd better be one, she just looks so damn cool when she sings.

I love all three of Chihiro's albums and it's so hard for me to pick one.
INSOMNIA has some of my favorite songs on it - BACK DOOR (amazing, amazing, beautiful ballad), Call, INNOCENCE, Cage (her best song, IMO), memai
I love This Armor because it flows so nicely. Plus I love ROLLIN', ryuuseigun, Arrow of Pain, and CROW.
Sugar High is great too, but it's so short. But I love Rebel Luck, suna no tate, and hyouryuu no hane.
Get all her albums, starting from the first. They all are masterpieces (to me, at least. Haha. But I'm biased).

I think I'll go with 'This armor' and her new single..:D

Just listened to infection! *must buy 'This armor'* :D

Then get "Sugar High" after that. I think "INSOMNIA" is her weakest, but not by much.

I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY! and yes I believe Cage is her best piece too! Hahaha anyways BanFan I'd go in order from INSOMNIA-This Armor-Sugar High their all amazing but you can really see a progress in music along the way. Either way you can't go wrong with any of the albums.

If you go on google and search for Chihiro Onitsuka and go to the first site, an English fansite, it explains how/why she wrote certain songs...This really makes me want to buy her albums! :)

Edit:here it is. This is such a good site! :D http://homepage3.nifty.com/folia/data.html

Wow, nice site! :thumbsup

Kinda cool how Gekkou was originally titled Stigmata.

*Listening to Sugar high now*

hmm..this is so exciting!

grr you! *waits patiently for the 3 months until he gets his copy*

*sobs as he's reminded of how he had to wait for 2 months for HMV to bring in the limited edition of "Sugar High" and was eventually told that there were no more copies, despite being repeatedly told by the HMV staff that it would arrive in a week or 2*

Ah, the melodrama. ^^;;

How long is infection? I found the lyrics and they're different from the version in the AMV I found of it that was about 3 minutes and 52 seconds long. How long is the real version? I'm really mad because I found the lyrics and I thought they were wrong! >.<

I'm pretty sure the song is over 5 minutes long, and there's only one version of the song.

5:45, to be precise.
