Chorus harmonies are very discordant, and Tetsu (ya, I'm still not callin' him Tetsuya)...his bass playing...what's with that wrong note he keeps hitting?
Actually, I will admit it's not the greatest cover in the world. The composition is very unogranized as though they were playing four different songs, but I think it's still very cute and thus worth the buy automatically, even if, maybe ESPECIALLY BECAUSE, the song doesn't entitle you to a free Pepsi. :X
Also, not that it excuses anything, but I don't think musicians actually play the whole song when recording anymore. They just take the best take they can and then do a copy and paste job, which is fine by me, but overall it probably explains why he always misses that one note.
Despite it's flaws though, I really do want to hear this song live! @_@
Maybe this is the way that Pepsi wanted it????
L'arc also gave us Bless this year and look at the difference. Wasn't it Hyde that said Yuki did 60 takes on that and finally chose number 42 to use for the final recording??
