You know, of all the songs to release as the third single from Osc-Dis, I would've thought it'd be All The Time In Sunny Beach, but Good Girl (Dedicated to bride 20 years after) is a really good choice now that I think about it. A fun punk number with Takeshi doing the chorus? Yeah, I can buy it. Still, Osc-Dis is really one of those "all killer, no filler" albums, so pretty much anything from it that's over two minutes in length could make an excellent single.
This is also one of the single most interesting Mad singles, packaging-wise. The entire... maxi-digipak? maxi-pak? is silver and reflective a la the Japanese first issue of Slipknot's Iowa, which is why some of the angles for this photo shoot are a bit weird, and it prominently features the female Pink Crusher Erika, originally featured in the game Pochi Racing. The disc itself is held in a sleeve made of a material I honestly couldn't name, but reminds me of a paper towel, and there are two paper inserts that the protective sleeve is made of. I haven't stumbled across anything like this before, and I don't know if I ever will again.
The tracklisting is as follows:
2. Step Into Yourself (Ryu Remix)
Keep in mind, when I count singles from certain albums, in Mad's case, I generally only count the singles released in Japan. I think All The Time In Sunny Beach was released in the UK through that deal with Palm Pictures, but, I dunno, I don't really count those at the moment... probably just because I don't have a lot of those. The only single I have released exclusively in Anglophone territories is the single for Tribe, and I'll be getting to that one tomorrow. Below are the inserts the disc was slipped between... I hope you all are getting hyped for some of those 14-year-old tour dates.
