@mario Haven't seen any Sōmai films besides Typhoon Club (which is pretty good) yet but this one's definitely on my to-watch list among some others of his.

@mario Album's pretty good indeed. Didn't know (remember?) they were on hiatus but I'm glad they're back.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live and stay at one of the guys' home in like 2010 or so. I was on tour with Tides From Nebula at the time (used to be their booking agent) and the Totorro dudes had organized a show for us in Rennes, which was awesome. Great times were had. Haven't seen them since, unfortunately.

@mario Fun dudes, too! Great to see they're still doing their thing after all these years.

@mario Saw them last week and was surprised how well the new stuff worked live for me (as I said I'm not a fan of the new record). Still, a few more older songs would have been nice.

@mario Seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxv-tu_LeJ8

@mario If you like this one, try 犬のかたちをしているもの, too, if you haven't already. I liked that one even better.

@mario Billy!

@mario I would go as far as to say that it's their best

@mario The new DH is so good

@mario According to some dictionaries the 八つ here means 八方 = "all directions" (as in 四方八方 and other expressions), which would be my guess as well.
(Also, 八つ doesn't just mean "eight" but can also stand for an unspecified large number.)

@mario Thoughts on the new Envy?

@mario Should be just ずっ友, unless I missed something 😬
(じゃん is short for じゃないか)

@mario The word for polygamy is 複婚（ふくこん）.

If you want to be more precise, 一夫多妻 is polygyny, and then there's also 一妻多夫, polyandry.

@mario 子守 means babysitter/nanny or babysitting/child-minding, so I would say it's a song sung when babysitting or sung by a nanny or babysitter. I believe in Japan women who were taking care of chilren often used to sing about themselves and their lives, so this makes sense.

@shiawase @mario I think it could mean something like:

"You, who were born and raised in the ultimate weapon Tokyo, wouldn't even think of saying this place (Tokyo) isn't special."

Some definitions of 発想:
新しいものごとを考え出すこと; 思いつき; as in "to think of (sth./doing)", "to get the idea")

And 言葉にする can mean 口に出す or 言う, as in "to say (out loud)".

Some people tend to idealize their birthplace, and while they might know deep down that it's actually not a special place, they would never say (admit) it.

@mario Tbh, I’m not the biggest fan as I find their expansive discography quite inconsistent, and their latest records didn’t blow me away, to put it mildly. I strongly prefer their older stuff, especially the drony tunes, and I saw the set lists from previous shows on this tour which were basically just songs from the last two records, so I didn’t go. Would have gone if Asunojokei had supported.

@mario Nice! I would totally have gone to see them had they supported Boris at their show near Frankfurt last month (unfortunately, they didn’t support them on all dates 😭)
