O.T.F. - Fumiya, Ryo-Z and? The guys having their slice of the business.
I hate manhandling my Good Job booklet. To me it's gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing. Plus it's nice to see someone actually credit the original artist as inspiration instead of trying to claim it as your own. Nonetheless I made a discovery as I looked at the credits for my favourite song off the album "More & More"

Now if O.T.F. are now Rip Slyme, what does it mean? I have no idea. But I suppose this could signal more Rip Slyme activity to help make up for their half dead 2004 period. But then their limited release live album was titled "O.T.F. at Budokan." (even when Ryo-Z says the sound was terrible there, they release an album from it) Maybe the mark of More & More being rapped by "the O.T.F. crew" it could mean some change. Management perhaps?
Could this mean that Halcali will be receiving more help from not just Fumiya & Ryo-Z? I think this is too unlikely but the possibility is there. I mean Fumiya's still half dead, so Pes could help head the music making with maybe some help from Su & Ilmari. While Ryo-Z can continue writing lyrics for Halcali while again Ilmari & Su could act as all rounders. It's an appealing thought for Rip Slyme fans but there's not enough for it.
Now I was looking at the song More & More, it's a lovely thing. It's a pity it never became a single but I bet there was the suggestion. The idea was probably rejected since the group, as a group should be, preferred to wait till Fumiya came back. Or that's what I assumed. When Fumiya went to the hospital, leaving the Rip Slyme boat one man short, Pes picked up the job. Having written the great song "One" - the result this time was vastly different. Sure people expected either a deep hiphop beat, the kind that would possibly fit his image. But More & More creates a mixture of great drumbeats and a catchy guitar loop. If only this got a music video or something. It'd be definitely a song to remember.
