this one is after the "Asa ga mata kuru","Itsu no ma ni"
the third theme song for the TV series " 救命病棟24時 part III )!
i hope this one will also be a hit like "Asa ga mata kuru" or "Yasashii kiss o shite" !

I love the sound of "Nando demo". My first reaction was "my, this doesn't sound like DCT!" Until the chorus started... then it sounded like DCT, those nice strings coming in...!

hmmm.... its... quite bad! I love the song but... the effects are just dire. And, my god, Masa playing the bass with a plectrum!? Never thought I'd see him do that!
Maybe im being a bit harsh??

I like it. It's a lot different from many of their recent videos. Nando-demo has a lot of energy and a certain aggressiveness. By the way, what's a plectrum? I couldn't see the video well enough to notice anything.

its a piece of plastic used to pick the strings (and strum them on a normal guitar).
I've always just seen Masa play bass with his two fingers and thumb resting off the pickup, but if you look at his hand hes in the position to be holding a plectrum. Quite cool really... but if you dont really care about the way he plays it wont really matter!

I hope this song is a big hit, too. Definitely has the potential. I know I've listened to it/watched the video about a dozen times in the past 24 hours. I wondered why such a killer song was released on the heels of Diamond 15, but then I went back and read jei's comment that this is a TV theme song. Still, to pull this one out of the hat shows that they are really churning out a ton of good material.
Very cool!

It's a fun song and video. It's weird to think that DCT can just plug into the teen-pop vein now that they are entering their 40s, but it just works. Hell, it rocks!
Personally, I thought that Masa vamping a rock guitarist was hilarious - it's so obviously a send up.

I'm so digging the song...I really enjoyed the fast pace of some of the lines. Hopefully it'll get the same push that 'Yasashii' got last year because of the theme song link...
I'll reserve comment on the "I could do that with my Music player" effects until I can see them at a bigger resolution....^^

I ended up finding the torrent file for the new single, since I already ordered it from CD Japan, I'm *trying* to don't feel bad about downloading it...
Sora o Yomu should be called Mirai Yosouzu III. It's such a wonderful ballad, definitely is already on my favorite list with Sweet x3 and both Mirai Yosouzu songs.
Nando Demo is a great "teen-pop" song, it reminds me of the Love Goes On album for some reason. I'm addicted to this song, the more I listen to it... more I want to listen to it.
Does anyone know if they gonna perform Nando Demo on any music shows??? I cannot wait to hear it live!

Nando Demo hit #3 in it's first week, selling about 65,000 copies...^^
