I think it's been a long time I haven't write any review here. Sorry for the very long hiatus. I'll do my best to keep this blog as updated as I can. Life really caught me this time so I don't have time to update this blog but I do have some times to update my other blog =____=""

Anyway, here's Kagrra's new single Tsuki ni Murakumo Hana ni Ame which was released a couple of weeks ago when this review is currently written. The single is available in three types (Limited Type A, Limited Type B and Regular) but this review will only focus on Limited Type A version.

Comment:

I was pretty shocked when I listened to the preview because I always imagined that the song will be just like Shiki but I was so wrong about that. The song itself is very catchy which I find it's been a long time I haven't heard such song from Kagrra. The song itself kinda reminds me of San era and also with a little bit mixture of their previous album, Shu.


Hinomoto on the other hands reminds me a lot of one of the song from Shu, Towani. I think it must have something to do with the song has a similar catchy melody like Towani. I wouldn't want to think that they have recycled the Towani melody and used it for Hinomoto, but I do feel it has the familiar melody. But still, this song is pretty much good too, just like Tsuki ni Murakumo Hana ni Ame.

Overall, I think the single is much better than Shiki, but somehow it still doesn't have the impact I've been seeking for so long. Because of this, I have to listen to this single a couple of times so then it will remain and create a lasting impact in my mind. This is a great single introduction for new Kagrra fans. Whether does it worth or not, it's up to you but for me it's 70% worth a buy.

I can guess the first thing that will pop up on your mind right now is who are they? If you love indie visual-kei bands, than perhaps this is one of the band that you should give it a try.

Erdbeeren, Rend Belief, jrock, visual-kei


Tracklist:

1. Into The Tempest
2. Rend Belief
3. EQUATION

Erdbeeren, Rend Belief, Fumiya, Louis, Shin, Masato


Comment:

Before I start with the review, let me say a little bit how I came across with this band. I happened to know this band when one of the member, Fumiya (he's the drummer) followed me on Twitter. I always check my followers' profile before I decide to follow them back so I was amazed to know that he's in a band. After I checked their OHP, I immediately sent him a tweet to say that their songs were nice and we exchanged tweets after that. If you have a Twitter account, feel free to add him. If you want to know more about them, you can check their OHP here.

Now, let's move on with the review. I know it's a shame that I don't have this single so I can't really say much about the first track, Into The Tempest. I believe the first track is only the instrumental track. Correct me if I'm wrong those who have the single.

Rend Belief is what makes me hooked with the band. The song is neither slow nor upbeat but I would say it has the perfect balance of slow and upbeat. Another thing that I was surprised with this song is Louis's vocal capability. It's not that he has a special vocal but I think he has a powerful vocal for an indie band. If you have been listening to Gazette or any other bands during indie, you would have noticed that they don't really have a good vocal capability but Louis does have a good vocal capability. His voice is really loud and clear which I find it rare for a jrocker to have that kind of voice.

EQUATION on the other hand isn't really the kind of song that I like because the song sounds so normal to me. So, I don't really fancy this kind of song and I don't have anything much to talk about this song.

Overall, this single is still a good listen but too bad it's only available in Amazon Japan. I wish it's available elsewhere since Amazon doesn't accept Paypal or I didn't notice that they accept Paypal. Even if you don't feel like buying the single, at least I highly appreciate if you can leave a comment on what do you think about their songs. Even if they don't really understand English much, but it's good to hear what other people think about their songs.

Here's Rend Belief song:

LM.C - Liar Liar single review

May 2nd 2010 04:19
LM.C's fourth single, Liar Liar. This review is based on Type A limited edition.

LM.C, Liar Liar, Sentimental PIGgy Romance


Tracklist:

1. LIAR LIAR
2. Sentimental PIGgy Romance

DVD

1. LIAR LIAR pv

LM.C, Liar Liar, Sentimental PIGgy Romance


Comment:

I have nothing to say other than the song LIAR LIAR is awesome. Compared to any other songs I have listened from them, this is the only song that makes me so hooked with it. The song itself is very upbeat so even if you feel down, this song will definitely lifted your mood.

Sentimental PIGgy Romance on the other hand, is a bit weird. As usual, you can always expect LM.C to have a weird song like this. I don't like weird song like this but it can be a funny song if you listen to it for fun. I'm not sure whether it's still a funny song to listen if you're not in a mood and can be easily snapped when you're not in a mood.

I would say that this is one of the single that I'm so hooked to listen to even though I only listen to LIAR LIAR and can't be bothered with Sentimental PIGgy Romance because I don't like that song. But still, this is one of the LM.C song that I highly recommend.

Here's LIAR LIAR pv:

March 21st 2010 12:26
I know it's been a long time I haven't write anything here because life caught me. Now that I'm free from life (for the time being), I decided I need to do what I should do, which is update this blog of course. I'm really sorry for leaving this blog for such a long time (I think) so let's move on with our agenda.

This is SuG's latest single which is also the ED for the anime, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. As usual, this review is based on limited edition version. By the way, this is the first major debut single
