The YTMND Project

I've heard a lot of weird and dumb stuff throughout this, but I think I hit on the single best sudden contrast. It comes towards the end of Volume 8. The first song is "The Lonely Man Theme" by Jon Harnell, which I know as the sad walking away music from the incredible hulk. It's a dark song that invokes a kind of saddened reverence in the listener.

It's followed immediately by "Kurukuruin" an incredibly jumpy Japanese pop song which is so sugary it gave me diabetes. I've listened to a lot of J-Pop music and I generally enjoy the genre. It's the one gaping hole in my "ominous loner" image. I even kind of enjoy this song, but it's really inhumanly upbeat. It is, in my professional opinion, Chibi. You may think that a song can't reflect a sub-genre of the anime art style, but you haven't heard this song. No normal human could sing like that. The age required to be this cutesy is pre-natal.

The clash of these two, if you're not prepared for it, will not only dislodge you mentally, but may Throw you across the room. Listen at your own risk.
