Whoa, Nelly. That's a good one. The PV adds a lot of "umph" to the tune. Even without it though that's a good song. Taut, chilling and beautiful. Very heartfelt. I give it a 9/10.
This one is going to have the next reviewer wondering what the heck is going on here. Background on this song: It's called "Kuchibiru Network"("Lip Network") and it was composed by Sakamoto Ryuichi with lyrics written by Matsuda Seiko. It hit #1 on the Oricon charts in Japan on Feb 10, 1986. About two months later, on April 8, 1986, the singer, Okada Yukiko, committed suicide by jumping off the roof of the Sun Music Building in Tokyo. She was 18 years old and left no suicide note.
