Fun, but generic pop-rock Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
Owatari Ryo, guitarist of the now defunct band Do As Infinity, begun his new project, the three-piece grouop Missile Innovation interestsingly before D-A-I had even broken up, with their self-titled debut EP. Fans were first treated to Owatari's vocal stylings with D-A-I b-side Tsurezure Naru Mama de, and his works as the lead singer and guitarist of Missile Innovation are much in the same vein.

The five track EP, while providing a collection of loud, fun rock tunes with sing-along choruses, does little to distance itself from the several similar groups populating music charts today. While we do see some hints of blues in Moroheiya Dandy and a very faint electro influence in the title track, the signs of originality quickly fade away as the respective songs fall into traditional power-pop conventions. The sole English song, a cover of the Bangles' Manic Monday, is a straight down-the-lines pop-punk transformation. Azayaka na Hana, a Do As Infinity song Owatari had penned, is also included, but in this reinterpretation, the song's reggae-stylings are completely stripped and it sound much like the rest of the EP. The strongest track is ballad Suna no Oshiro, but it too is heavily flawed, meandering on for at least two minutes past its welcome; a problem that plagues all the songs on the EP, albeit to a lesser extent.

Missile Innovation's debut is admirable; Owatari's song writing is not abysmal, and the four original soungs all have incredibly catchy hooks, but the lack of variety and the repitition do not make for a particularly interesting listen; this is something best listened to at parties or in the car with friends.
