ARCHIVED HTML - Kanojo wa Ijiwaru - Your Girlfriend's a Bitch
Dark Sailor Mercury - Ilse
Tone/Mood
Kanojo wa Ijiwaru. When I try to speak this name, it's almost a tongue twister. The beat is okay. My foot moves with it without my permission. This song is very different from Koi suru Soldier. You girlfriend is a meanie/bitch. Is that a tuba that I hear after every line Rika/Chisaki sings?Placement
Nope. Reason is very clear.Memorable
Memorable. Yes, because of the lyrics (again!). Like I said in a review before, why has Chisaki always the good/nice/beautiful lyrics? The melody is just like all other melodies. Just good.Lyrics
Because you're too niceI'm a bit mean to you
Because you're too nice
I can't be a sweetie
I acted selfish again today, sorry
Did it hurt when I snapped at you? sorry
I guess you're angry about that e-mail? sorry
I really wanted to borrow a CD, sorry
Yes, the title totally fits the song. I really like the last part, with the "Gomen ne."
Overall rating
5 hearts (again!). I gave 5 hearts to all chisaki's songs. All melody's are okay! All lyrics rock! Funny, so I guess that I like Chisaki the most after Kawabe Chieco
Sailor Mercury - Topaz
Tone/Mood
There are a lot if beat in Ijiwaru. Hama 's voice is really high in this song. The flow of this nice. It rolls on at a nice pace and even once you get to the spoke part it still flow nicely. There is a neat part at the end. Its like a computer drum solo. lolMemorable
I would not find this song memorable. It really kinda makes me wanna get the ear plugs. As with most of Hama's songs I am really disappointed the words confuse me. What is she truly trying to say?Lyrics
Kanojo wa Ijiwaru is a song about a girl that really like this boy. He is a super sweet and nice guy. Because of this the girl act mean and selfish."Because you're too nice
I'm acting like this now
Because you're too nice
I'm becoming a meanie"
I myself do really get why if the boy is too nice it makes the girl mean.
"I acted selfish again today, sorry
Did it hurt when I snapped at you? sorry
I guess you're angry about that e-mail? sorry
I really wanted to borrow a CD, sorry "
If she is so sorry why does she act like she does?

OK i bearly even want to give this song a 1 but that is what I give it. Really I think this song sucked. I try to be nice to each song but I just hate this song.

The song itself is good. Chisaki sounds better than she did in the last one. She just doesn't seem to actually believe what she's singing. She's just reciting lines. The song and her voice are pretty good in this one. When the tempo picks up she starts to get into it a bit more, which I like. Song is only OK for me though.Placement
Chisaki CDMemorable
Not really.Lyrics
Well, the title is really more like "Your Girlfriend's a Meanie" based on how the rest of the song is translated. It's not as bad as some of her songs."Because you're too nice
I'm acting like this now
Because you're too nice
I'm becoming a meanie "
Ohhh I see. She is his girlfriend and SHE is the meanie. Well I don't mind calling her a bitch then. The lyrics aren't really that great though.
"I acted selfish again today, sorry
Did it hurt when I snapped at you? sorry
I guess you're angry about that e-mail? sorry
I really wanted to borrow a CD, sorry"
Somehow I don't really buy your "gomen ne" since your back up singers are the ones singing it. Who are these guys she is dating and why don't they drop her flat on her ass? She's clearly a selfish, bratty, spoiled princess who isn't thinking about anyone but herself. The songs on her CD certainly seem to dictate that.
Overall Rating
3 - Better than Koi Suru Soldier. But it's still not very good.
Princess Serenity - Elly
Tone/Mood
Damn, this is almost as hyper as Morning Musume, or their sub-group, Mini-Moni. While I enjoy the songs by mentioned groups, this song is just...ugh. Chisaki has no right to sing this song, period.Placement
This is the second track in Chisaki's single Koi Suru Soldier. Ugh. Thank GOD this wasn't one of Mercury's songs. I do say this would be even worse than Mi Amor.Memorable
No, thank God. If I ever had this song in my head I'd go stab my eyes out or something. It's so whiney and UGH.Lyrics
Because you're too niceI'm a bit mean to you
Because you're too nice
I can't be a sweetie
This sounds like every girl who's ever dated a good guy, seriously. I find that (most) women take advantage of men when they can. So stereotypical, but interestingly enough this is not a subject that is often sung about or even talked about. I was surprized to see something so "taboo" come out in the open.
I acted selfish again today, sorry

Wench, you're about as sorry as you are for messing up this song. As cute as you are, Chisaki, I can NEVER forgive you for ruining what could have been a decent song. If the background were changed, and say...Kawabe were singing this, this might be a decent song.
Overall Rating
Two stars, and only because I like the subject matter of the song. The rest of the song is entirely crap. Hate me if you want, Chisaki fans, but listen to this song on loop for two hours before you do. Only then will you truly understand my pain.
Sailor Neptune - Ruth
Tone/Mood
Upbeat to begin with and it sounds more "put together" then the last song I heard. *shudders*. However I still think this isn't Chisaki's best work as the song doesn't do anything for her. She's off key in some areas and the blasted drums are annoying.Placement
-----Memorable
Again no it isn't memorable. The only thing that is memorable is the title when translated. LOL! Too classic. Other then that I don't see anybody enjoying this song. I said it once and I'm not afraid to say it again! BLAH! Blah to the person who made Chisaki sing this song! Let's face it, the composer wanted us to suffer and took advantage of Chisaki's role in PGSM. That's all I think about that.Lyrics
"Even though I want to run more, chasing after youAt this rate my body will get weak from lack of exercise!" Um....huh?! So because you don't exercise, you're weak to chase after a boy who's already taken?! That's what that's saying right? RIGHT None of the lyrics make any sense to me and if I try to sing the Japanese version I just cringe because the words just don't go together well. *shrugs* But what can you do? *Burns the lyrics and writes new ones* *whistles*
Overall Rating
0 hearts. Yes this got a zero as well. Chisaki fans don't get me wrong, she has a lovely voice IF she is singing the write song. Choosing a song can either make you or break you. (I should be on American Idol....LOL!) Ditch these lyrics and write your own stuff. Some of the best stuff is done by artists who write their own stuff!
Sailor V - Jessica
Mood/Tone
This has the same all too perky mood, all too hyper and happy. Surely it must be an effort to keep up such a tone for the whole song!? The underlying beat is just out of place. It makes you want to turn the track off, not get up and dance or anything.Placement
NoneMemorable
Nope, once again just for wanting to desperately turn the track off!Lyrics

Er what? Has to be the most annoying part of the song. Just what is the point of the 'sorry' on the end of each statement? Are we supposed to be being sarcastic here? That fell flat.
Overall Rating
0/5 - Thank gods her songs for Ami-chan were a little better than this!
Tuxedo Mask - Kero-chan
Tone/Mood:
With a better melody than the other song, I like better this one than Koi suru soldier. Hama's voice sounds a little bit more like a singer style, but even with that, the song can't make it up, I don't like it that much. I have to admit it has a catchy tune, and you can't resist hearing it with a title like that hehe.Placement:
Her single "Koi suru soldier"Memorable:
Not that much, for me it can be, because out of the two, this one's "the best", so I will remember this song for being Hama's first solo single (but I prefer Mercury's image songs xD).Lyrics:
I can't say they are my favorite lyrics, though I find this part funny.I acted selfish again today, sorry
Did it hurt when I snapped at you? Sorry
I guess you're angry about that e-mail? Sorry

She's calling the guy's girlfriend a bitch, but somehow in this paragraph, I think she also has a bitchy attitude toward her hehe.
Overall Rating:
I give this song, three stars. It has a catchy melody; Hama's voice is just OK, not the best. She could have done a better job for her solo album, but let's hope this is the last crappy album we hear from her (meaning that let's hope she come with cooler stuff XD).
Sailor Uranus - Nickole
Tone/Mood:
After listening to this song, I've noticed that It's beat and setting is quite computer and technoish, and Hama's words have a 'Different' twist to them. It sorta confuses you, if you get my catch.Memorable:
This is probably one of the few Hama Chisaki songs that I won't find to my liking, and I wont want to have stuck in my head. I just don't like the beat, or the way she sings it.Placement:
I beleive it is on one of the Hama Chisaki CD's.Lyrics:
Because you're too niceI'm a bit mean to you
Because you're too nice
I can't be a sweetie
I acted selfish again today, sorry
Did it hurt when I snapped at you? sorry
I guess you're angry about that e-mail? sorry

These lyrics are very different to what I have heard Hama sing, but I think they are the best part of the song.
Overall Rating:
Eh.... This song gets a 2, since I dont like the beat, or the singing for that matter. I guess I'll have to say that the lyrics are the overall best part of the entire song.
Sailorasteroid - Sailor Pluto
Mood:
Playful, cute. Unfortunately, the music isn't overpowering, so Hama's terrible singing comes through in full power. It sounds like she's straining for most of the notes.Placement:
On Chisaki's ill-advised single.Memorable:
Heck no. I can't even remember the title. The only way I think of this song is "Hama's non-PGSM song. No, not the one with the helicopter, the other one."Lyrics:
Funny, in translation. I like the idea of a girl flagrantly telling her lover she's a shrew. I wasn't planning on dating her anyway, so it's OK. And the word wagamama is probably the most fun Japanese word to say and so it belongs in every song.Overall:
Complete nothing of a song. Rotisserie beat, Hama's god-awful singing, utter lack of a hook. One.
Sailor Luna - Emo-chan
Tone/Mood
This sounds like a song from PGSM. The struments are similar and the beat is nice and upbeat. It isnt the best song for her voice, though. I though at times it sounded like it was going flat a little bit.Placement

I don't think I'll remember this song as well as Mi Amor. This isn't one of her better songs.Lyrics
The words are cute and a little childish in this songBecause you're too nice I'm acting like this now Because you're too nice I'm becoming a meanie
What normal teenager says meanie? I do at times but I dunno, it sounds weird in a song.
I acted selfish again today, sorry Did it hurt when I snapped at you? sorry I guess you're angry about that e-mail? sorry I really wanted to borrow a CD, sorry
This makes me wonder exactly why she is saying sorry so much for.
Overall Rating
a 3 because I wasn't a huge fan of this song. It isnt her best song and it kinda sounds pre-teenish^^;
Kuroki Mio - Kara
TONE/MOOD:
I've had a lot of friends bopping along to this song in my car, and I've sung it at karaoke, and people think it's the happiest, coolest thing in the world. Which has nothing to do with the lyrics at all ... and that, to me, is such a wonderful irony. The tone of the music goes directly counter to the vicious lyrics, and I love it.PLACEMENT:
From Hama Chisaki's 'Koi Suru Soldier' singleMEMORABLE:
Yes. I've been in love with this song since the moment I heard it.LYRICS:
As I mentioned before, they're cruel. They're horrible. I know girls like this, and I think they're wretched and disgusting and I want to tar-and-feather them. HOWEVER. If you take the song as an expression of a character, rather as a stand-alone piece, it's excellent. It's more like a monologue than a piece of music, when you get right down to it. So I would actually rate this, besides being a good song, as a fine piece of acting.OVERALL RATING:
5 out of 5 hearts. I can't even remotely hate this song.
Sailor Jupiter - Joy Azama
Tone/Mood
I first heard this song after I downloaded it through this website, and playing it in my laptop while I write a song review. I had such high hopes from Hama after hearing her 'Mi Amor' and 'Yakusoku', but I'm disappointed with this song. My first impression is that I think she has a cold while singing this song, and she was forced to sing it (her voice seemed strained and her nose seemed clogged). I think she was out of tune more than once in this song, especially in the chorus. But on the plus side, this song has a good beat, it's like Ayaka's 'Happy Time, Happy Life', it makes you want to fly and dance for a brief period of time, but Ayaka delivered her song better. Moreover, and another plus side for me, I think Hama delivered her 'Ye-e-eah' rather cute.Placement
Not placed in the PGSM series, only on CD.Memorable
In general, it is not memorable for me, perhaps to Hama fans, it is. The only thing memorable for me is when Hama spoke in the song, I think it's cute, and you can't help but be reminded of the PGSM-LA Sailor Mercury who is more Hama than Ami (hope you'll understand what I mean ^_^).Lyrics
I love those cool eyesBut your smile is really cute
Even though I feel a twinge when I watch you from far away
Even though my heart aches looking at our photo stickers before bed
Because you're too nice
I'm acting like this now
Because you're too nice
I'm becoming a meanie
Come on, why are your reactions so adult?
Come on, is it so bad to be selfish sometimes?
Even though I want to run more, chasing after you
At this rate my body will get weak from lack of exercise!
The lyrics talks about a girl who wears a mask when in front of this certain person (the kanojo). I think this is a typical teen song, and it is part of teen life to backbite somebody whom you dislike. However, I think these lyrics are way to harsh for a Hama Chisaki that I know of, which leads me to question "Is she really this type of girl in real life?" I hope not because I always perceive her as the youngest member of PGSM who is very loving and loves to hug and smile (like the way she acts at the backstage during the Kirari Super Live Event), and I think she's too sweet to be this mean person featured in the lyrics.

Tone/Mood
My mood with this song ? WTF. I'm kinda sad for Chisaki, cause she's got a damn good voice and this song just doesn't do her justice. As I said in my other review, maybe this is because she's 15 (or was at the time she recorded this) and the song had to fit her age... *sobs* Though the mood of the song itself looks "jumpy", as in "happy jumpy".Placement
None, and not on my playlist either. Or just once in a while, to try to give one more luck to Chisaki.Memorable
Memorable as in: "I'll remember to take care next time I listen to something that was sung by an actress who's less than 18 years old". Not that the song is THAT crappy, I can't be as harsh as that, but... I think I'll remember to take it off the playlist. *huggles Chisaki*Lyrics
Well, when I read the lyrics, I realized that somehow, they seem to fit the music perfectly. "Yup, I'm a bitch, I'm sorry for that, lalalalalalalalala", you know, that kind of little arrogant tone some girls can take.Because you're too nice
I'm a bit mean to you
Because you're too nice
I can't be a sweetie
Gaah! They made her sing that. Something about a girl who really loves her boyfriend but acts like a bitch just because he is too nice. We need nice guys in this world! Woowoo!
I acted selfish again today, sorry

This part is cute though. OMG. I said part of this song was cute @_@ ... someone's going to see chocobos raining in their garden soon. Ahem. This part makes up for the whole song, for me: not only is the girl sorry, the passage is just damn cute :P !

"Kanojo wa Ijiwaru" has a boring and monotonous melody. Chisaki's vice sounds TOO childish. I definitely don't like neither "Koi Suru Soldier", nor "Kanojo wa Ijiwaru"! Perhpas they are the worst Japaniese songs I've ever heard!Placement:
I am happy that it wasn't put in PGSM!Memorable:
No. I have to second my words: a boring and monotonous song which doesn't attracts me.Lyrics:
The last two couplet are sound extremely annoying"Kimi ga yasashisugiru kara

Yasashiku shitai no ni"
I think that even a 5 years old kid would get bored of "Kanojo wa Ijiwaru".

To be honest, I'd like to rate with -5 hearts, but, unfortunatelly, that is not permitted. Sooo... 0 hearts for "Kanojo wa Ijiwaru"!!

Very Pop. Childish background song. Chisaki has a perfect voice for a very cute song (Aww... ain't that cute BUT IT IS SO WRONG!!!! OMFG!!!!!) Too happy and too jolly. Please no more!!!Placement
No placement. That's a good thing. If it were placed as a background song or an opening/ending song for an anime, it would only destroy it.Memorable
It's good to read the lyrics of the song (traslated) rather than listening to it. Good times and bad times with my girlfriend. Such memories while reading the traslated lyrics. If she hears this song, probably she'll have a good laugh.Lyrics

My girlfriend likes to be mean to me because I am too nice. This stanza feels good in our relationship.

Overall Rating
In basic mathematics, we learn that subtracting a number with the same number is equals zero (5-5=0). Obviously, this song gets a ZERO. The songs in her album is not worth for me to listen at all. I don't know about the Chisaki fans out there if you agree with me. She is like Kitagawa Keiko who has a bad acting on crying (not singing, take note). Sorry Chisaki-chan, it's not your month in the reviews.
Kunzite - Loreal
Tone/Mood:
She sounds like she is trying too hard when she sings. Her voice is really high pitched and that just bugs me. I almost didn't notice the semi-decent beat. The tamborine reminded me of Luna rocking out.Placement: Again, the series was spared one of these songs.
Memorable: Nothing comes to mind. The high pitched voice stuck with me a little bit though.

These lyrics make no sense to me. The lyrics make her sound like a jerk. Not to mention she is apologizing for stupid reasons. Maybe if she STOLE the cd she should feel sorry.

I don't really know what to put for the tone of the song. It's a faster paced song but the singing really feels a bit...stilted to me. Like she's spitting out each syllable. I don't really like it that much.Placement
Not in the series.Memorable
It's not very memorable to me, given that I really don't like the song. It just comes across as a bad choice for Hama-san as a song.Lyrics
The lyrics don't seem to make any sense to me, being a bit jumbled up. It's more something that a person would SAY to another, rather than singing emotions or feelings.Overall Rating
