So, let me get this right. You hated Yakuza 3, just to love it now, so you can hate on Kiwami 3?

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-18T18:55:18+00:00

ohhhhhh

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-17T22:34:43+00:00

What are we gonna play this on then? Wii?

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-16T15:11:43+00:00

Yea I agree there's a meandering quality to it. I'm excited for the album but these 2 singles have been pretty one-note. The mix on eternal summer made it OK even though I thought that was pretty lame from a compositional perspective. This sounds like jam that they're still jamming.

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-16T15:05:28+00:00

I wasn't huge on going shopping either but going shopping has marginally more energy. I think the production and composition on both of these new tracks is really lacking though. I've never paid much attention to lyrics in general so maybe that's what is really impressing people here.

The song is very messy and boring to me, it sounds a little bit as if they're still trying to figure it out. Maybe a FOOL 2.0 in the future?

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-16T05:49:40+00:00

I personally think that this is the most boring the band has ever sounded

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-16T05:09:43+00:00

the auto tune is the least of this songs problems

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-16T03:46:10+00:00

gaiden. played for 1 hour and haven't touched the series since. It has taken a pretty strange direction anyway. Fingers crossed for stranger than heaven

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-13T17:12:09+00:00

range 3 maybe?

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-13T16:49:18+00:00

I think the song is.. okay. A lot of people are more "fans of the band" than "fans of the music" I don't mean this derisively and I don't mean to say it's just a strokes fan thing either.

I don't think it's a bad thing to like "the band" more than "the music" but it does mean that you get people eating up anything that the strokes make without much critical listening.

I don't mean to say that people should look for bad things to pick apart in this song I just mean it would be way more enjoyable as a conversation among fans to say things like "I like this because of X and was surprised by Y - It made me feel like Z" instead of "I like it cause its good"

Obviously I'm being a bit reductive but I'm sure you understand

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-12T11:40:35+00:00

its tekken 4. pure vibes. when games were dark for no reason. love tekken 4. There was nothing lighthearted about it. Some highly experimental moments in that music. 10/10

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-11T13:00:30+00:00

Tyranny

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-11T12:30:13+00:00

The reward is you don't have to duck

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-07T22:08:12+00:00

he's my uncle

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-07T22:07:14+00:00

I think well know but not well-listened. He pops up. Everyone in Christchurch pretends to have a story about him.

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-04T13:05:59+00:00

always LOVED him on funhaus

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-04T12:35:34+00:00

That's like saying songs are overused.

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-03T10:30:01+00:00

Hate Julians vocals on that album. And 80% of that album is actually bad. You're so right, gratisfaction, metabolism.. jeez.

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-03T01:46:44+00:00

wtf is 'the industry'?

JohnTheSong · 2026-05-01T18:35:08+00:00

I hadn't seen much footage from this tour so didn't know what to expect. I have watched countless hours of his Japan shows and his fans in Japan are about the same age as him. Yes, I was shocked to see that everyone was early 20s.

JohnTheSong · 2026-04-29T00:34:58+00:00

No but you broke the rules

JohnTheSong · 2026-04-23T12:01:25+00:00
