I personally remember him the most fondly from his  work on Berryz Koubou\u2019s 1 roku 3 zen man sou diet song. It was the same  combination of him and Tsunku. His wiki entry says his styles are  R&amp;B and Hip-hop, which explains the trap hi-hats sprinkled  deliciously throughout the song. I think he did a great job on the song.<\/p>\n<p>  I guess at times, even if I try really hard, I still can not seperate  the music from the idols\u2026 @ around 1:30 of the video Kishimon looks into  my soul.

This whole song about body odor destroying  her love interest\u2019s desire for her. Its so perfect, such an innocent,  naive thought a young lady surely has\u2026 not knowing of course that men  couldn\u2019t care in the least. I swear we men function on like 25% of our  brain\u2026 I think men smell in broad ranges\u2026 Smells good, smells normal,  smells like something is off, smells better than me, and it stinks\u2026 97%  of things are in the smells better than me and up range.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways  the protagonist said that if she is going on a date with the guy, she  wants to shower about 2 times before she leaves, which is ridiculous and  so relatable at the same time. I think this is the charm of Tsunku\u2019s  lyrics, you are laughing because its lame, but you relate because you  think the same way about something. Once again we have an insecure  protagonist who is like, \u201cyou say I\u2019m beautiful, but what about me is  beautiful?\u201d in fact, \u201cI know that I have no confidence, I\u2019m basic, I\u2019m  not fashionable.\u201d (I want to imagine that the question he asked that  made her say \u201c you think so\u201d is \u201cI like you, we should go on a date.\u201d)  In fact \u201cif I was to go on a date with you, I would need to shower about  twice before I left the house.\u201d She said that if she would be  embarrassed if she met him after school, likely because of her body  odor. She is so hyper aware of her smell that she notices how her hair  smells after going into a convenience store. Which by the way in Japan  serves food and stuff, like fried chicken and warms up refrigerated food  like yakisobapan or bentous, but she would likely only be in there for a  few minutes, so its just describing how ridiculous she is.<br \/>In the  second verse she is saying that she likes the silence when they are  together or on the phone because she ca hear his heartbeat\u2026 but likely  she is just too nervous to talk and is rationalizing it. She said she  would love to be on this date all day, buuuuut her hair and makeup and  stuff is in disarray. So now she wants to go back home. He literally  says out of his mouth, \u201cThe way things naturally are, are good\u201d but she  still believes that she needs to \u201cdo something\u201d to be worthy of his  love. But in actuality, she does not love herself so she can not  understand how someone else can love her. Its these sort of nuances  about complex topics and situations that Tsunku puts in these short  songs that is masterful.<\/p>\n<p>The love interest is freaking running his  fingers through the protagonist\u2019s hair and she is still worrying that  her body odor might botch the whole operation. I think this song really  is attributable to the girls who sabotage themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Composition<br \/>CIRCLE  OF FIFTHS! I love this progression too much and its so common in  baroque music for sections to have a happy spiral of fifths.<br \/>Anyhow,  So only (sadly) the verses have the counterpoint-esque melody, the  pre-chorus has a call and response thing going on. But both ultimately  are call and response, the verses have a different rhythmic response and  the pre-chorus has a similar rhythmic response. Like in verse 2 the  first verse sets the melodic them that the second verse builds on. I  will refer to them as voice A (establishing melody) and voice B (the  answer to melody A). So in the verses, voice A goes up as it descends,  and voice B goes down as it descend. This gives this wonderful motion to  the melodies, its contrasts make them seem like they are arguing back  and forth, or crossing each others paths.<\/p>\n<p>This time our song is in  the key of E flat major (e- f g a- b- c d e-) and my comments about the  bass and melody use the scale degrees from this scale.<br \/>Melody, so delightful, even apart from the verses. <br \/>verse 1 &#8211; 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 5 (flat)<\/p>\n<p>verse 2 &#8211; 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 6 (Voice A)<br \/>verse 2 &#8211; 3 to 4, 2 to 3, 1 to 2, 7, 6 (voice B)<\/p>\n<p>pre-chorus &#8211; 6, 5, 4, 2, 4 3 (voice A)<br \/>pre-chorus &#8211; 4, 3 (voice B)<\/p>\n<p>chorus &#8211; 3, 2, 2, 3, 5(flat), 3, 2, 2, 3, 5(flat), 6<\/p>\n<p>Bass  line is particularly important here, as its the luscious circle of  fifths and harmonizes with the melody is a significant way.<br \/>verse 1 &#8211; 6, 2, 5, 1, 4, 2, 3, 3<br \/>verse 2 &#8211; 6, 2, 5, 1, 4, 2, 3, 6<br \/>pre-chorus &#8211; 2, 5, 1, 6, 7(flat), 3<br \/>chorus &#8211; 6, 2, 5, 1 to 3, 6, 2, 5, 1 to 7<\/p>\n<p>They are using a bit of<a href=\"https:\/\/t.umblr.com\/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPWHtvkFNuj0&amp;t=MzJiN2YzODA1NmM3MzY0ODhiZTQ3YWQ4YzhhMjg2YmZkZjI0OWU2ZSw5MHhlZEtMeA%3D%3D&amp;b=t%3AbgH2YKN0vxqFihIlC_vDkA&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fhellopromusic.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F175553427383%2F%25E3%2581%25A4%25E3%2581%25B0%25E3%2581%258D%25E3%2583%2595%25E3%2582%25A1%25E3%2582%25AF%25E3%2583%2588%25E3%2583%25AA%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%2587%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2583%2588%25E3%2581%25AE%25E6%2597%25A5%25E3%2581%25AF%25E4%25BA%258C%25E5%25BA%25A6%25E3%2581%258F%25E3%2582%2589%25E3%2581%2584%25E3%2582%25B7%25E3%2583%25A3%25E3%2583%25AF%25E3%2583%25BC%25E3%2581%2597%25E3%2581%25A6%25E5%2587%25BA%25E3%2581%258B%25E3%2581%2591%25E3%2581%259F%25E3%2581%2584&amp;m=1\"> trap cymbols<\/a>&nbsp;in  the song (linked for the hi-hats). The song has a trap feel to it. Its  trap-baroque-edm-idol musics. The guitar is quickly picking all of the  chord notes, its such and interesting effect. There is this cool synth  sound in there that sounds like an alien singing opera or something in  the background of the intros, verses, and bridge, which is so wtf.<br \/>Honestly  its a simple song, but it just ticks a lot of the boxes for stuffs I  like.
