{"product_id":"4997184205269","title":"The Otals - The 100 Things - Japan CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eCredits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Otals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Otals' New Ep. \"The 100 Things\" Is The Result Of Their First Live And Solo Concert \"To The (Blue) Moon And Back\" On August 4, 2024, Three Years After The Start Of Their Activities. The Physical Version Includes An Additional Track \"Eve And Alice\" As The 8Th Track.\n\n\n\nUnlike The Dramatic And Large Scale Work Of The Previous \"Destroy My Memory,\" Which Depicted A \"Sekaikei\" Story With Electro And J-Pop As Its Theme, This Ep Is Marked By Simple Songs And Arrangements With A Focus On The Band Sound, And Can Be Seen As A Kind Of Return To The Roots Of Otals. It Could Be Seen As A Kind Of Return To The Roots Of The Otals.\n\n\n\nHowever, \"Mutekino-Yuench\" (Mutekino-Yuench), Recorded At The Beginning Of The Album, Is A Dirty Sound With An Aggressive Bass Line And Distorted Vocals, And A Chaotic Number In Which The Rhythm And Melody Suddenly Accelerate Rapidly In The Middle Of The Song. The Lyrics Are Also Violent, Describing A Night In A Doomed Casino, And Are A Challenging New Baseline That Differs Greatly From The Existing Image Of Otals.The Ep Also Features Songs Such As \"Dragon Na Nataya,\" About Friendship With A Dragon Girl, \"Uchi No Mei-So Deshita,\" Which Depicts Feelings For A Separated Family From The Daughter'S Point Of View (Or So It Is Thought), And \"Konoma, Konoma To The Sea,\" About An Exchange In A Car Filled With A Stagnant Atmosphere. The Ep Can Be Seen As An Ep Centered On Songs That Push The Band'S Worldview Outward, With A Greater Variety Of Colors And A Slight Departure From The \"Sweet And Sour Boy Meets Girl\" Story That Has Been The Image Of Otals Up To This Point.\n\n\n\nThe Sound Is Also Simplified, With A Stronger Presence Of Fuzz Guitars And Drums Than On Previous Albums, Emphasizing A More Physical Image. It Is Not Hard To Imagine That The Simplicity Of The Arrangements, With Their Eight Beats And Power Chords, Is Tied To Their Roots In Indie Pop And 00S Alternative, But In This Day And Age When Pop Song Methodologies Are Becoming More Common And Chords And Rhythms Are Becoming More Complex, The Contrasting Rugged Arrangements Are Rather Refreshing. The Arrangement Is Rather Fresh.It Is A \"Nostalgic Yet New\" Piece, Filled Like A Treasure With Colorful Stories Typical Of Otarz With A Certain Calmness And A Slightly Cold Young Man'S Point Of View, Rather Than An Intense One That Gives In To Emotion.","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51227519451425,"sku":"4997184205269","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4997184205269.jpg?v=1745754450","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-be\/products\/4997184205269","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
