Confessing... talent? Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
After a relatively short pause of three months, comes Hiro's latest solo venture, "Confession." Unless her previous singles, not only is "Confession" on her new record label [Avex], but the convention of three songs, three karaoke tracks is finally broken. Some may wonder whether this is a postive thing, but considering the quality of the tracks and lower price [back to the 1050 Yen price of her first two singles] it's more than worth the purchase. "Confession" runs more along the same synthesized vein as "Your Innocence:" mid tempo and upbeat with no addition of any acoustic instruments. But unlike "Your Innocence," the key and voice tone is slightly higher which at first glance may seem perfectly fitting for Hiro's high pitched, smooth vocals. Unfortuantly this isn't the case. Immediantly withen the first bridge, Hiro's voice seems to crack when switching pitches at a quicker rate than normal. One has to wonder after watching her recent live performances, if this is merely a sign of exhustion or perhaps a bad move on the song writer's part. Netherless the song has its faults, but generally it's an enjoyable song with a sweet melody and thoughtful lyrics. The single's b-side song, "Next Stage" comes as quite a surprise. Varying milestones from "Confession," "Next Stage" takes back old SPEED fans to Hiro's debut solo song, "South Paw," a catchy techno-like dance song. Immediantly one thinks of Ayu [Ayumi Hamasaki]. Hiro's performance in this song is wonderful and when compared to the title track, is a much more polished and finished product with little or no cracks in her voice. However, for some odd reason, the quality of the recording of the track onto the CD isn't actually CD quality: it sounds almost "misty"-like and comparable only to mediocre .wav files. Despite this production flaw, the song is the highlight of the single. Also, included on the disc in Avex tradition, is a remix of the title song. Spanning an average remix time, the mix is reminescent of trance with an interesting climax about three minutes into the track. Hiro's voices are slightly spend up throughout the song which becomes more evident into the final chorus. Generally it's not a bad remix. Finally included are instrumentals of the first two tracks which may pose of little or no interest depending on personal taste. Overall "Confession" is a pretty solid release from this young and talented solo artist with the only major flaws being the strange quality of "Next Stage," and her slightly cracked vocals on the first track. Both are nothing that can't be fixed in the future. Definatly recomended to both fans and casual j-pop listeners alike.
