Not Perfect, but Worth It
|
The title track of this single is just gorgeous. A slow, heartfelt piece with a very traditional Japanese flavour. The simple, but strong drum beat, and minimalistic arrangement along with the beautiful melody allows Chitose's vocals to shine. While the song is very beautiful and soothing, it is also rather dark and saddening. The second track (Ai to Iu na no Okurimono) is an upbeat song with a pop-rock feel. Chitose handles the vocals well, and the song carries well enough. The track, though enjoyable enough, isn't particularly memorable. The final track is a cover of Fairground Attraction's 'Perfect'. Something went wrong with this track. Chitose's usually powerful and sweeping vocals have been confined to a song that is entirely too small. She actually sounds like a little old lady for much of the track, and the instrumentation sounds hokey. Her pronunciation of the English words is quite good though. The song itself is not a bad one, and Chitose certainly isn't a bad singer, but this is clearly an example of poor choice of song. Despite the obvious failings of the final track, this single is quite enjoyable and well worth the money. |

Return to the good-old days

When I heard Haru no Katami on the ending of Ayakashi I was deeply impressed. The soft shima-uta music in the background, Chitose's prefect voice and the incredible depth of the lyrics make this song absolutely stunning. I hope Chitose is coming out with a new album soon, it's been too long since Nomad Soul. I'm definately buying this single, and I strongly encourage everyone else to do so. |
