Comment:
I don't know about you but I don't really like Hana. I feel like the song seems to lack something. It has nothing to do with the poppish feeling that the song projected, it's just that the song doesn't make me feel so drawn and addicted to it. Sad but true, no matter how much I listen to it, I could never get myself to love this song.
But it's totally different with Sleepwalker. Even though the song sounds depressing and melancholic, I feel like this song is really amazing and nicely done, even the guitar solo is very nice. This is the song that I'm hooked the most from this single. This is truly a very stylish song indeed so I highly recommend you to listen to Sleepwalker instead of Hana.
Not to worry, I won't miss out the extra track, High And Low. When I listened to this song for the first time, I felt that the song is weird. Okay, this must have something to do with my brain because I was listening to this song somewhere around 1 a.m so the song didn't do any justice to my brain. Basically, listening to this song is such a huge transition after listening to Sleepwalker. Like I have mentioned before, Sleepwalker has a depressing and melancholic sound but High And Low is an upbeat song. Yes, listening to this song makes you feel like you want to hit the dance floor and this song somehow reminds me of Rainbow. Even though the song is giving you the cyberpunk kind of feeling, the twin guitar solo makes this song becomes even more epic. This song really does a wonderful job for wrapping out the whole single.
Honestly, what makes me attracted to this single in the first place is definitely Sleepwalker because it's a stylish song. I already had an interest on this song ever since the preview of this single is already available on their OHP. So, I can say that I love this song even more when I listened to the full track. High And Low is a good song too and Hana....I'm still not attracted to it no matter how many times I've listened to it so yeah, I conclude that this song is boring. If you find Hana is contrary to what I said, it's definitely worth a buy but if you're like me, it's worth a buy too but make sure you buy the Type B instead because Type B has Sleepwalker pv. For those who have never heard of Alice Nine songs before, I highly recommend you to listen to Sleepwalker.

it may be your opinion and i respect it, but i think ithis is a great Alice Nine single!
i love Hana, i love the guitar mostly and i also like the B sides, i think they did a great job here!! Cos i like all the songs on the single, usually there's always one or two i skip, but i really found this single NOT boring.
i like Hana better than CROSS GAME, but only a bit, cos i liked CROSS GAME too...

I don't mean to be nasty to Saga but I don't really like most of the song he composed, which includes Hana except Rainbows because I think the song is amazing.

i liked the Hana single as a whole, i love the b sides, SLEEPWALKER is really good.
but in CROSS GAME, i actually prefer Mugen -electric eden- to the a-side itself.
I used to have to skip most b-sides, but i think, as a whole, their singles are getting better!
I think Alice Nine. are going in a direction that suits my taste, so i'm pretty glad about that!

Back then I'm not so fond on their b-side tracks either but some of them are really good which I find it's better than the main song itself.
Alice Nine is getting better which is a good thing and I do hope to see more improvement from them in the future XD
