Teru's Contribution? Co-writer.
Takuro collaborated with Teru to write this song. Looking at the rating I gave it *out of four stars* this is one of their best "concert songs". I love to watch this song on their live videos and it's a very good rock song. They have very, very memorable lines, and kinda sexy? "Oh baby, baby, baby" ... not unlike Teru!!! Also, it's tradition for Hisashi to sing the "ACID HEAD!" and "No More Hero!" bits! I love it when Teru *glomps* onto him and they start singing together!

Once again, the Takuro & Teru collaboration. Actually, it would be really interesting if the other two collaborated with each other or with Teru to write and compose a song...*just a thought!*. Anyway, I was a bit surprised from the difference in ACID HEAD and this. This song is quite slow throughout but has a memorable and beautiful, poignant melody. I like the accordians(?) in this song.

Umm... GLAY is mad. Very mad. I remember someone wrote a review for this song saying "What's the point of having lyrics if you can't follow what he says?". I read the translation and *whoa*! Takuro must've been pissed *and Teru*. The translators said that it must've been a song to their record label or something like that. Hmm... interesting hate music...

The intro drags out for so long! It gets all right three-fourths of the way though. It sounds so weird. Just not my taste. Gomen nasai Teru!!!

It's very catchy and I like the way Teru sings very fast. It's not that bad really, it just doesn't stand out very much.
Teru's Contribution? Writer
This is a very catchy song and very catchy lines. I like the tune when he sings "Hageshiku SHAKE UP!" "DO YOU FEEL BRAND NEW FUTURE?" is very catchy. A fun song, and you can hear the intro of Yuuwaku at the end of the song.
I love this song!!! I love the meaning and the tune!!! This is probably one of, if not the best, of Teru's works. "Anata ga soba ii ii..." The tune and the way he sings it is just so beautiful. I like the guitar solo as well. Strangely, this song always calms me down. I wish Teru would produce more songs like this. I wish Teru WOULD produce more songs!!! Each of them have their own flair. Jiro tends to produce punk/happy-go-lucky songs, Hisashi usually produces cutesy songs (Denki Iruka Kimyouna Shikou, neuromancer...) or songs that are very electronic and kinda rock (AI, Surf Rider...) and Takuro is a mix (he IS the best!).
*Note, this is NOT in order, not a TOP TEN thing, just ten of the songs he performs best in. If you or even me feels that a certain song which Teru deserves credit in, please let me know! Thanks!
1. GLORIOUS - great vocal performance
2. BELOVED - another great vocal performance
3. ALL STANDARD IS YOU - by singing so passionately, he makes this a four-star song
4. Haru Wo Aisuru Hito - his voice is beautiful here! ^ v ^
5. San nengo - very emotional! O_o
6. Cynical - my brother insists this is one of Teru's best vocal performance
7. SPECIAL THANKS - he sounds sooo sad... *sniff*
8. HOWEVER - need I say anything? But, boy! He really opens his mouth!
9. Ikiteku Tsuyosa - very passionately sung, and strongly too.
10. Kiseki no Hate - very "into" the music. 'Nuff said.
