Favorite songs?

[Angiken Neeru]

What is/are your favorite song(s) composed by Itoki-chan so far?

My favorite, absolutely and foremost is probably SWITCH.

Of the Chiptune girls songs, I listen to GHOST TEETH the most.

[Phantom Lily]

My top 10 are:
10: Rule
9: Wish
8: Role Play
7: Ghost Teeth/Error (I'd say they tie for my favorite in the Troubled Girls series)
6: Watashi No Kotonante
5: Dream Diary
4: Wither
3: Biological Clock
2: Switch
1: Magic Mirror

Of course, these can definitely change.

Wither is quite a good one for me -- to be honest I dare say it rivals my love of Switch on the favor Spectrum.

Though it could be because of a personal affiliation I have with that sort of thing....

People take and ruin my most treasured things (flower)... No matter how much faith I put into them.

Say, how do you feel about BOUND?
It's a bit of a rarer taste, but I came to appreciate the songs meaning.

I wish there was a proper translation for ERROR.
But the music makes me think of my old "Fist of the North Star" (NES) game.

[Phantom Lily]

Admittedly, Bound took me the longest to see the strong areas of, and finally like, so it was, for a while, one of the few I didn't like (No offense to Kyoko). Now, though, I had to decide whether to put Ghost Teeth and Bound on the list, or Ghost Teeth and Error on the list. Three tying for one spot would look weird! If my hand were forced, however, I think the troubled girls series would look like this:

5: Shadow
4: Escape Celebration
3: Error
2: Bound
1: Ghost Teeth

All of them are amazing songs- this is just how I'd scale their greatness. (Also, I put only one mention of the Troubled girls, seeing as how I wanted places for other songs.) Out of Itoki's post-song music pieces, Bound has one of my favorites.

As for their lyrics... Well, for the longest time I could've sworn none of them had translated lyrics (Remember, this comes from me having seen Shadow first), so I'd never read the lyrics for Ghost Teeth or Bound (Actually, I've still to read Bound. Might as well do that today). As of now, I'm off to go get a magnifying glass. I'm sure it'll make reading Magic Mirror all that much easier.

[Yuko]

Bound was an acquired taste for me, but after awhile you really let it soak in. The melody, the "hymns", the cry for help at the end. (Please touch me, take my hand and say to me: "YOU, are none!") I used to be iffy about it, but I've come to enjoy it a lot.
I would almost always listen to Ghost Teeth though. On loop. It was really chilling, good to relax to.

I admit, I do kind of miss the "Piko Piko" styled songs, I hope she does another some time. Maybe one where all of them can sing together would be nice...
My list is probably like this:

5. Escape Celebration
4. Shadow
3. Bound
2. ERROR
1. Ghost Teeth

Not that I dislike Escape Celebration -- I just don't really listen to it as much as the others. It is *good* and has a catchy beat. It's just not calling to me like the others.
Shadow has a special place in my heart, due to its familiarity, I used to listen to the old one quite a bit in my younger years. So when I hear Shadow, I can instantly recognize: "Hey, it's Shadow! "

Good luck with getting Magic Mirror. If it's too much hassle I could just pull out mine -- I have good eyesight.
Just laziness and no desire to close up my most precious CD bag...

[Phantom Lily]

Yeah, I admit, another song in the Piko Piko style would be nice.

Also, I have 20/20 vision and it's hard to make some of that stuff out. Now that I went out and bought a magnifying glass, this should be easier... 
...Besides, how would you type it, anyway? Unless you plan on trying to use the handwrite feature for the next ice age, in which, well, you do you. Otherwise, it's probably a good idea to know how to type Japanese, preferably with an IME. I appreciate the gesture, though.

[Phantom Lily]

*Facepalm* ...I just realized. Just now, it finally clicked. You got the overseas handmade version. I got the native Japanese version. OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.   How I never realized that is beyond me- I'm sorry for misunderstanding. You have a set different to mine, and that probably includes the lyrics card being different. For you, it's possible yours is bigger than mine. And possibly had both language's lyrics on it. Meanwhile, the writing on mine only has Japanese on it, is so small that I probably couldn't read it at all if it were much further than an arm's length away from me, plus my box (I only got a little cd cover as big as the disc itself) contained no Dream Ticket.

How did I get the Japanese version? Bought it from Tower Records and had it shipped overseas via proxy. How did I completely overlook this major difference? No idea. ...Sorry. My bad. I'll put a picture of it up soon.

[Yuko]

Yeah, mine has both lyrics on it. Oh my--you have the blackened case. It must look so cool. *sweats*

It's okay! A simple mistake! You see--the Overseas Handmade ones were very limited edition. They come with paper cases, the ticket, a (slab of wood?), and I have two cards with Itoki's tooth on it.

But more info on why you probably got the wrong one, tower records is the Japan only one. The overseas Disks were available on her ETSY profile. (You can click it here, and it's also in our website masterlist.)

Shameless Plug-in: You can also see my review of both items on her page.

Here here! I'll show you!






The NAME BADGE is my most precious thing. Written on by Itoki herself.

[Phantom Lily]

Aww. The Yuko doll looks kinda cute. Here's what I got:

Size of text



Me and the size limit had some serious discussions, and we reached the agreement that I had to put down some black masses to keep the file size down. Don't worry, nothing important is obscured. The second one made me die a bit on the inside, though. Since I had the camera out, I took the liberty to photograph some physical things I made regarding Itoki. They're in the other media area.

[Yuko]

I like how you used a dime to show us just how small the text really is...

The CD itself does not look incredibly different from my own! So that's a relief. (Though if the roleplay one is black/blue then that one would definitely be different!)

If you want to order a plushie, twitter.com/The_Harmonias is where I got mine from. It was about 12 dollars (with the shipping) so it wasn't a bad deal at all.

Edit: I don't see anything in the other media! If you posted it, it is surely gone.

[Phantom Lily]

No, I was just being slow... Sorry!

[Yuko]

I figured! I just made a prompt incase it was a case of "I made a post but the forum ate it." which does not happen often but, it happens to everyone.
I'll take a look in a bit.

I'yam doing some writing.
