They were responsible for my favorite Juice=Juice song  \u201cWatashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne,\u201d and one of my favorite Morning  Musume Songs \u201cCHO DAI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So this song is on a slick mid-tempo  vibration, it could almost be a American house song from the early 90\u2019s  if they let it linger in the verses\u2026 It is really Tsunku at his finest.  Its songs like this that separate Hello Project Productions from other  Idols. I have never heard anything that suites my tastes from any other  contemporary idols. Tsunku is both a master of rhythm, lyricism, and  melody and it really shows in this song. I have not gone through the  lyrics carefully yet, so I will leave that for another time, but the  rhythm and melody in this song is so strong.<\/p>\n<p>The intro has the  main music motif which is repeated a couple times (intro, before the  second chorus, and throughout the end) in the song, but each part of the  song, both parts of the verse, the pre-chrous, the chorus, and the  bridge have different feels and rhythms. It gives the song the feeling  that you are on a ride and going to different parts of the song. Its  masterful.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of the verse is my favorite part of the  song. Its the part with \u201cSexy, kamatte hoshii.\u201d It haunts me like the  first kiss from a crush, so passionate, unexpected, but I guard it as a  precious memory in my head. I long for that part of the track every-time  I press play.<\/p>\n<p>The percussion in the second part of the verse before the pre-chorus (@ 0:43 in the PV) is <a href=\"https:\/\/t.umblr.com\/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPs2Jc28tQrw&amp;t=OWY3ZTlhOWI3YmQ3NTA5NDk3NTA3YjJmYmViYzIzZjg3MDA1MGM4OSx2SmV2VHZ0MA%3D%3D&amp;b=t%3AbgH2YKN0vxqFihIlC_vDkA&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fhellopromusic.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F172536020568%2Fjuice-juice-sexy-sexy-%25E4%25BD%259C%25E8%25A9%259E%25E3%2581%25A4%25E3%2582%2593%25E3%2581%258F-%25E4%25BD%259C%25E6%259B%25B2%25E3%2581%25A4%25E3%2582%2593%25E3%2581%258F-%25E7%25B7%25A8%25E6%259B%25B2%25E5%25B9%25B3%25E7%2594%25B0%25E7%25A5%25A5%25E4%25B8%2580%25E9%2583%258E-so&amp;m=1\">straight house<\/a>, as is the chorus, but the second part of the verse really has that feel.<\/p>\n<p>So  Hirata adds a bunch of flourishes and his choice of sounds just leads  this to be a really slick, dark, candle-lit sounding song. Its so sultry  and saturated. The vocal performance really adds to this feeling. His  variance of the different parts of the song is so subtle, but I don\u2019t  think its distinguishable until you hear the instrumental. It all sounds  so cohesive that you really only end up paying attention to the vocals  until you really pay attention to the supporting elements. The mix of  chiptunes with the synthesized keyboard chords is so great. I\u2019m a  synth-whore, so he is catering to me in this song. Not to mention the  synth brass in the chorus belting those low notes. In the bridge he has  this Indian instrument used in bollywood songs and this hilarious duck  sounding sound. It\u2019s spectacular. Also in the end of the intro he has  this timbale-esque instrument that is only in the intro, and before the  second verse, it takes that away and in the beginning of 2nd verse there  is like this ringing chord thing on the \u201csexy aishite hoshii\u201d part of  the song. Its discovering those sort of differences that encourages me  to listen to this song multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>Tsunku\u2019s use of rhythm is  so easy to not notice because we end up focusing so much on the vocals,  but this song, like most of his, is really rhythmic. I made a recording  to talk about that part of the song, and some of his melody.&nbsp; Listen to  it <a href=\"https:\/\/t.umblr.com\/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fjigenbakuda%2Fjuicejuice-sexy-sexy-rhythm-talk&amp;t=OTZiZWUyYTVjMjYyNGNjZWU3NGY0MTI5ZDMwMzZhOTczOTVlZWNmYyx2SmV2VHZ0MA%3D%3D&amp;b=t%3AbgH2YKN0vxqFihIlC_vDkA&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fhellopromusic.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F172536020568%2Fjuice-juice-sexy-sexy-%25E4%25BD%259C%25E8%25A9%259E%25E3%2581%25A4%25E3%2582%2593%25E3%2581%258F-%25E4%25BD%259C%25E6%259B%25B2%25E3%2581%25A4%25E3%2582%2593%25E3%2581%258F-%25E7%25B7%25A8%25E6%259B%25B2%25E5%25B9%25B3%25E7%2594%25B0%25E7%25A5%25A5%25E4%25B8%2580%25E9%2583%258E-so&amp;m=1\">here<\/a>. (I don\u2019t start playing the music until like 1:56)<br \/>Like  always his lyrics are so great.
