Product Information / Track List

Aqua Timezの2008年第一弾シングル「虹」は、初の4つ打ちのビートと生演奏のグルーヴが融合したミクスチャーロック。これまでもさまざまなジャンルの音楽をAqua Timez独自の解釈で表現し、常に新しい音楽を創り上げてきたが、今作は彼らの楽曲の中でもまた新たな方向性を打ち出した楽曲に仕上がった。真骨頂である切ないメロディーは健在。悲しみと喜び、期待と不安など、日々生きていく中でのさまざまな感情や想いと、そこから生まれる絆をテーマにした歌詞は、Vo 太志のまっすぐな歌により、何かを越えたときの青空のような爽快感と、涙を流しきった後の晴れやかさを感じさせてくれる。日本テレビ系土曜ドラマ「ごくせん」主題歌に決定!! M-2の「優しい記憶~evalastingII~」は父や祖父から受け継がれつながっていく想いや、家族の絆のすばらしさを温かく歌った、ミディアムチューン。M-3「ほんとはね」は2月に配信限定でリリースした、想いを届けることの大切さを歌ったラブソング。M-4「No Live, No Life」は、彼らのバンドとしてのキャパシティーの広さを感じさせるエッジ感抜群のハードチューン。4曲通して、音楽性の幅広さと奥深さを感じる、聴き応え抜群のシングルになっている。Aqua Timez×ごくせんコラボステッカーを期間限定封入。

"Niji (Rainbow) Single" J-Pop with rock beats Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Formed online through college buddies in 2000, the band managed to peak at 2006 and 2007 with Oricon charts topping at #3 and #2 positions.

The single "Niji" is the theme song for J-Drama GOKUSEN 3 which is running on Nippon Television right now in June 2008.

The single album itself has a catchy tune more attune to J-pop than J-rock, although the backgrounds are alternative-style guitar sounds. The second track is a ballad and would go well at a cafe!
