Boke is par for the course in singing/acting in Japan.  ELT, Hirosue
Ryoko, SPEED, Max...

Although Shinohara Tomoe is a double eagle.

TBG is probably my favorite, mainly for the English...which is usually
much different than I peceive it.

\I haven't liked anything by Globe since their first album.  I've never

A few weeks back they had the #8, #3, and #1 songs in the same week!
And the next week they released another song that debuted at #2.  So I
guess weak lyrics are no problem to overcome.
