Shonen Shojo sounds interesting, but FASHION sounds even better :o

Also, LOVELAND tour will finally be released on DVD and Bluray on February 25th :)

Fashion is my favorite too. I'm looking forward to this single

I think this single will have a good outcome. It may not resonate well mainstream but it should be good.

Higher and FASHION sound fantastic. but the title song is horrible

cool

Love it. Simple but powerful. It really fits the lyrics.

That song is pretty amazing. It actually gave me chills. I am really curious about the lyrics, have they been posted somewhere yet?

Shounen Shoujo is just freaking amazing and might turn out to be my favorite song by Miliyah, seriously. I'm so happy she is doing a bit different stuff and not just what's the most popular thing recently.

Miliyah is the best. I dont like every song by her but she has outdone herself, its just sad that japanese people don't appreciate artistic growth. This should be supported rather than Namie (Namie is my favourite J-Pop artist btw)

Fashion sounds amazing, the rest of the single sounds boring but it will grow on me as always lol.

I wasn't too sure about Shonen Shojo but it's a grower, I like it a lot now (not too fond of the last part but oh well)

^ Yeah, I don't really like the last part either. I hope it's just for the PV.

They haven't. The verses are about girls and boys having a bad time. (An ugly girl, who is smart and all the pretty girls are jealous of her skills, but at the same time people pity her for her ugliness and no man loves her). The chorus are encouraging ("Boys, girls, run! Sweat, cry and shine! Boys, girls, run! Clench your fist and shine!"). The general message is "this era is very unforgiving, but keep trying".

About the last part of Shounen Shoujo, I also hoped that it's just for the PV because it kind of sounded like it is, but then again I'm not sure (I don't really like it, but the rest of the song just overshadows it so I didn't really pay that much attention at the fact that just the last part of the song isn't great). Has the official length for the song been posted anywhere?

is there an mp3 rip?

I made an mp3 rip, though I myself will wait until the single is out. Here.

^i listen to the video to much to not have it as an mp3
so thx :)

blown away by Shounen Shoujo

beautiful and simple arrangement, her voice is shining.. what a meaningful song :)

I don't like Shounen Shoujo much... It's a little emotionally overwrought/contrived I guess?

I'm so behind, haven't even listened to her 10th anni or w/e album yet :weep

thanks for the pv rip:yes
