The radio edit of the song was included on the original TV soundtrack for Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The video was put into rotation on MTV Europe and MuchMusic. As the video progresses, the audience members leave until a janitor is the only one still watching. Music video Ī music video for the song, featuring the members of the group performing in a theatre, with the audience dancing. The song was released to modern rock radio stations, on which 'Tubthumping' had received much play however, 'Amnesia' was unsuccessful on that format. It also peaked at number 19 on the Mainstream Top 40 and number 38 on the Adult Top 40. Though the song failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, it reached number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart (the equivalent of number 101 on the Hot 100), spending two weeks overall on the chart. In the United states, the song was somewhat successful, although it was far less so than 'Tubthumping'.

It reached its number-seven peak on the chart dated 27 April. In Canada, 'Amnesia' debuted on the RPM Top Singles chart on the issue dated 2 February 1998. The song was a successful follow-up to 'Tubthumping', reaching the top 10 in the United Kingdom and Canada. In fact, by the second go round, you'll be bobbin' your head to the track's feel-good disco-fortified beat and chanting along with the song's oddly catchy 'Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?' Ultimately, this is quirky good fun The song lacks some of the magical immediacy of its predecessor, but it wears extremely well with repeated spins. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, 'Can this group pull off a second hit? It may be a bit tricky duplicating the sales and radio heat of 'Thubthumper', but Chumbawamba makes a respectable effort with this booming follow-up. Both music critic Robert Christgau and AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted 'Amnesia', as well as 'Tubthumping', as a highlight of Tubthumper. The song was well-received by music critics, many of whom felt the song was one of the better tracks on Tubthumper. A full-page ad featured in Spin magazine, for the song's parent album mentioned the inclusion of 'Amnesia' on the album, was accompanied by partial lyrics. A CD single of the song was later released in the US, featuring 'Tubthumping' as its B-side. The song was released as a CD single in the UK. Chumbawamba's Alice Nutter told MTV that the group 'wrote 'Amnesia' before the general election in England, and we basically wrote it about Blair's new labor ,' adding that the song has a universal message, noting that 'people forget that what Bill Clinton says before he gets elected is not what Bill Clinton will do when he's in office, and that's not about Bill Clinton, that's about all politicians.' At the end of the album version of the song, there is an interlude that samples a UK public service announcement on mad cow disease.

So next is Ikki & Kent.'Amnesia' lyrically explores the dishonesty of politicians and the ignorance of voters who continue to vote them into office. I'll be releasing the remaining AMNESIA character songs in pairs by album. *wants to go hide in a closet for a bit until it's safe* Still, I love Hino Satoshi's voice so much~ Have I mentioned Toma freakin' scares me? I know his reasoning and all (his route is one of the biggest communication failures from both parties I've ever seen, and Toma's like iconic yandere for me at least!), so I kinda expected his lyrics to go along those lines, especially when I picked up on the word 'tsumi' before even starting the translation (which thanks to the Vampire Knight opening theme, I know to mean 'sin'), but still. I'm aware Shin's life kinda sucks, so his lyrics reflect that, but with a jammin' melody! But then. The first character album features Shin and Toma, which makes sense as in the games they were the MC's osananajimi~! That said, I'm now addicted to Shin's 'in your heart'! And then I tried translating these suckers.

(Viva la FANBASE!!) I'm only vaguely familiar with the game series and the characters (I think I found CGs online or something, liked the art, and decided to hunt game summaries the fact that two of my favorite seiyuus voice two of the main characters was an added bonus~). But I decided to go ahead and fully romanize and translate all 6 character songs for AMNESIA~ I didn't realize AMNESIA even had character songs, but then again, I'm not surprised. Silvermoon249I got a request, specifically, to romanize Toma's character song, 「GUILTY SMILE」.
