BUGRIGHT 2nd album UVERworld 2nd album [BUGRIGHT] which was set to release on Jan 17 2007 but was postpone to a later date to Feb 21 2007.But still after a long wait for this album, UVERworld release a PV [Zero no Kotae] which is the first track in BUGRIGHT, and this PV bring us to excitement and joy as the PV itself is unique and brings a new look to UVERworld. BUGRIGHT debuts at #3 at Oricon Chart and was #1 the next day, a great achievement for UVERworld as there are other great artists with their album out on that day. • Reviewed by XnarutokoolX 1. The lyrics. A very inspirational song. Though the song had a lot of doubts like "If tomorrow never comes", it still talked about living with no regret, about standing up even when you fall down, of never giving up even when you know it's the end. It's a very BUGright theme (which sums up nicely in the 6th title - Live everyday as though it were the last day), and a good opening. The title - Zero no Kotae, sort of meant Zero's answer, or rather's death's answer, which was quite fitting since this song dealed with a lot of doubts about living (so this is deaht's answer to life's questions). At least that's what I feel. It's a good song to listen to when you are in doubt about living, when you feel a lot of regrets for something that you have done, because " Its better to have fullfilled regrets, rather then do nothing". 2. The feeling that this song gave me. Even if you can't undersand the lyrics (like me because I dono't understand japanese), I believe most can still feel the theme in this song. It does sound quite sad and depressing at some parts (which is because as mentioned, the song put across a lot of doubts that are often in people's mind), but you can feel the passion, the want to continue living a meaningful life, even if it is filled with regrets. The music was so bittersweet, and the instruments were great complements to the melody. Takuya's voice was really passionate, and you can easily hear what he's trying to convey. I instantly fell in love with this song even without knowing the lyrics, because I can already feel it. 3. The PV. One reason why I love this PV alot is due to the lack of girls and more focus on the UVERmembers (and not just Takuya), which is something I think, rather essential in any PV since they are a BAND. There's no need for fans to try squint out their favourite member (though I suppose most of them like Takuya which is, well, always there). In addition, there many UVERjumps that just made this PV squeal-worthy, and the effects were really cool. At first, I thought that UVERworld was on this board thing that turns while the camera is still. But if you watch the UVER Jump Clips, you'll see this portion of them taking a video of ZNK where it was the camera spinning. But the effects was great enough to make people, think that it was UVERworld who was spinning (or maybe it's just me). It was something fresh from the usual, because it also means that instead of just focussing on Takuya, they will also show the rest (which I can't seem to stress enough). And though Takuya's haircut wasn't that great, and Katsuya's hair was also superly short, but on the whole, if you focus on their movement rather than looks, I'd say they were great! Not to mention the ending where Takuya took out a compass, it pointed in some direction, and the UVERmembers started walking towards it. Then Takuya looked backwards with a tinge of regret on his face and the rest too, looked back, but in the end they continued to walk onwards. Really give you the feeling of moving on even after a setback, because you have your friends next to you. This is one of the rare few PVs that makes some sense with the song itself. Excellent! 100/10. Good opener for BUGRIGHT, and a good restart after their fall (I meant Takuya's arrest), and this song really showed that he (and the rest actually), had really moved on. I guess this song will also serve as their inspiration to get back upwhenever they feel down, just like it did for me, and hopefully, you too. • Reviewed by Shinya 1. The lyrics. The whole lyrics is literally about temperature. Though I can't really discern exactly what Takuya meant when he's writing the lyrics (there's some kind of read between the lines thing, and since I suck at analysing thing, then oh well, you get stucked with a sucky review... Gomen!), but I'm guessing it's about reminiscing about their hometown (Shiga), but when you have your friends, it's not so bad. The Binetsu in the title kind of meant slight fever (or slightly hot), which kind of hint homesickness, and 39C is rather high for a fever, so I'm quite guessing that they are very homesick. However, they had to look forward and not at the past because that's where tomorrow lies. 2. The feeling that this song gave me. I love the starting. Shintarou's drums was (well not awesome, like WOW - awesome) very suiting for such an opening of a song. Yeah, I love the drums in this entire song. I get a very 'It's summertime!' feeling that seems to warm me up nicely (even where I come from, it's summer all year round, but you know, the human's heart can sometimes be so cold). Well, 'We can make it if we have feelings'. Love it! 9.5/10. I liked this song so much that I started typing the romaji title into my graphic calculator whenever math lectures/tutorials get boring. • Reviewed by Shinya Live everyday as if it were the last day 1. The lyrics. The title just cracks me up. Sorry, but it really does and you can't stop me! *cackles*. Well seriously, the lyrics is simple to understand, just don't live with regrets and take things for granted. Very fitting with the title. Oh, the title *cackles*. 2. The feeling that this song gave me. Moderately paced. The start was quite fast with Takuya's rapping, then it slowed down to a normal rock/pop song pace. It would say that this song is like almost like any other UVERworld song. (yes, sorry to say but a lot of their songs do sound the same to me). 7/10. I love the starting where Takuya rapped and I would nod my head along with the beat. The 1st verse was what caught my attention, however, after it got to the chorus, I was kind of lost it already. I normally listen music while doing something, so if a song is good, it will catch my attention while I'm concentrating on something else. This managed to for a well, but it would get lost by the time it hits chorus. So well, I didn't quite like this song as much. But I just love the title. *cackles*. • Reviewed by Shinya
