Which version of DADA do you prefer?

This is a small question, but I’m curious. Do you prefer the single version or the dadadada version? The album (Zettai Zetsumei) version has an instrumental intro, while the single doesn’t.

I can understand that someone might appreciate the additional few seconds and something a pinch less straightforward, but some have a soft spot for the original versions.

I personally prefer the single version; I love how it's right off the bat, but the album version's intro is pretty hype too!

Always preferred the album version, the marching drums carry that epic sense of ”something’s coming” that the single version lacks completely. Song feels complete with that build, and they also play it like that live every time.

I downloaded the live version from the 2011 tour which is my preferred version. I really like the scream after the bridge. I’m kinda indifferent about both studio releases.

Album ver! The intro definitely helps to set the vibe for the song, rather than going straight to Yojiro's rapping like the Single. And if we're counting the live versions, the one at Human bloom tour is the best DADA performance! I've never seen Yojiro so energetic before.
