pseudogeekI remember that a blogger (can't remember which) said that Miichan's voice is too erotic, but thankfully Shamuon's innocent voice kind of neutralise it and makes the whole thing good.
My opinion? No, it makes it even worseeeeeeeeeeeeeee. In a good way. Their voice and personality provide good contrast to each other. Unlike a certain pair of childhood friends (clear and nero), whose voice and style are practically the same in their CD First Contact(but can you blame them?), Miichan pretty much always uses his signature deep, solid-smoke like voice while Shamuon complements it with his transparent, clear boy voice, painting a high contrasted black-and-white-with-occasional-coloured-sparkles songs.
Ok, the album. I have always pictured Miichan as black and Shamoun as white, yet on the cover Shamuon is black and Miichan is white. Yin Yang stuff? In previous Michaon songs it was always Miichan's job to spread pheromone and Shamuon's to wash it clean, but here, especially in ペテン師が笑う頃に I find, Shamuon is also leaking pheromone! I hope it's just for this album, with the tricksters and all, as I like his signature clear innocent-sounding voice. And in Stoic Party (song), it's pretty much Shamuon who spreads pheromone while Miichan complements him. Hm.
Edit: Found a not-exactly-weakness in Stoic Party after re-listening to First Contact: Michaon's songs do not sound like full canvas. If you listen to First Contact, Cleanero seem to have filled the entire canvas, an illusion of saturation. Michaon, however, only paint in the centre area of the canvas. That's not exactly bad of course, as we can only focus on so much at time. The full canvas approach works very well with Cleanero because their style is that of a lullaby-like ocean waves. Michaon's is more like ink strokes on canvas. That works too.
Right now I need to sleep as it's 1 AM.
