The melody got portion of another Hikki song stuck in my head. I couldn't figure out what it was but now I finally remembered: it's "Prisoner of Love" - the part where she goes like "I'm gonna tell you the truth," (the pre-chorus I guess you'd call it). That melody or pacing is similar the melody/pacing of the melody in certain portions of this track.

One of the first reviews of the album is in and U.Blog translated the parts about songs we haven't heard yet:
“Ore no Kanojo” Starts with a double bass sound. Adds in strings and a ‘band sound,’ and has the scent of a blues track. Lyrically, Utada performs as both a male and female character on the song. “Ningyo” Accompanied by a live harp and drums, “Ningyo” is beautiful. Quite adventurous for a pop song to include just vocals, a harp, and drums, but “Ningyo” succeeds “Tomodachi with Nariaki Obukuro” The track starts with some programmed drums. Alongside “Michi,” this song really seems to symbolize the album. Features a brass arrangement that was done by Utada herself. Makes one wonder what sort of music she was listening to during her hiatus. “Kayou no Ookami” Utada’s own breath is used as part of the beat. The brass section and strings sound as if they’re swirling around the track. Very soulful singing from Utada. The way that the drum and bass repeat and create an almost breakbeat rhythm, giving it a slight hip-hop feel. “Boukyaku feat. KOHH” KOHH’s rap draws from this idea of the space between life and death, and Utada’s vocal sound very lonely and yet raw. Heat and coldness, hard and soft, and then life and death. This contrast is illuminated through KOHH’s rapping and Utada’s vocals. The track starts w/ a beat programmed by Utada. It has a very tribal feel. Gives imagination to the idea of death. Could be the most controversial song on Fantome. “Jinsei Saikou no Hi” The programmed drums are very charming, and this could be the airiest song on the album. It’s amazing how Utada can so casually drop a perfect pop song like this, especially after a song like “Boukyaku feat. KOHH” |

Gosh, after reading that, I didn't think I could get more excited for this release than I already have been. Really looking forward to hearing 'Ningyo', 'Boukyaku', and 'Kayou no Ookami' but they all sound promising. Does anyone know anything about Nariaki Obukuro, I'm not familiar with him. I'm curious how that collaboration came about. |

I will try to avoid more details of the upcoming album. I've already spoiled myself so much by listening all her new songs.

The PV for "2 Hour Vacation" blew my mind. So cool! and both Utada & Shiina Ringo were looking absolutely stunning, as well - plus, the song's just out of this world! Everything's just so amazing. Thank you, Hikki.

Okay, so I finally listened to 道 and 二時間だけのバカンス and they're simply amazing That's literally all I've been listening to ever since and I cannot wait for Fantome. I'm so glad Utada is finally back. J-Pop needed her.

I can't identify one planet from the mv. I know that they left Earth in the beginning, and the space craft passed through Jupiter after the first chorus, then the one I can't identify during ringo's verse, then in the end they're facing Saturn.
And I think the scene where they walked around should be Mars. (or at least a planet that looks like Mars's land) Edit: It looks like the planet in ringo's verse is Mars.. How come they showed Jupiter first, then Mars later on... Edit 2: It looks like Venus... I dunno anymore...

They only had two hours to devote to their vacation, after all--I'm sure they tried to make the most of it

The planet during Ringo's verse is definitely Mars. Venus has a super thick atmosphere and absolutely no snow. haha
Maybe Mars and Earth were opposite each other in orbit so they needed a gravity assist from Jupiter to get to Mars before their two hours was up. Last edited by amorphose; 17th September 2016 at 11:13 PM. |

But in the end of the two hour, they're facing Saturn... Let's say they're leaving Saturn (instead of going there in the last 20 seconds of the pv), so they had to mess around with Jupiter's gravity to Mars in between... Very confusing indeed.
LOL spending time finding why this was happened when it's just a pv...
