Prepare yourself. Kiiiiiii is a test of tolerance. I still don’t understand how some of these Japanese artists just wake up and say “This morning Im going to write several off beat strange songs, sing like Im in a kid’s show, and then name the song something that makes no sense whatsoever” (A’la Hot But Milky Like Milk). Makes me miss the moops.
