Singing to the stars
|
Nakashima Mika made her debut with Stars eight years ago, and since then, whether coincidentally or otherwise, she has returned to the theme of stars in her music multiple times, including Will, Mienai Hoshi, and Orion. After last month's funky circus-inspired Candy Girl, Mika goes back to the ballad and to the stars for her newest single Nagareboshi ("Shooting Star"). Nagareboshi is the kind of soaring, emotional ballad that Mika has become known for, and this one has particularly sweet and melancholic lyrics about gazing at the same stars and wishing for love. The lyrics are simple yet touching, direct in sentiments: "Look up at the sky, hand in hand/I hope we see the same future." The soft and straightforward love song offers quite the vocal exercise though if you listen closely. The stately melody by Tanaka Yusuke seamlessly goes up and down the scale, jumping back and forth between low and high notes to bring out the song's emotional crescendoes. It is to Mika's credit that she covers the range so comfortably that one hardly notices the dramatic changes the melody softly traverses. The single's B-side Memory, a collaboration with DAISHI DANCE, is as much a reason to get the release as Nagareboshi itself. Memory was included on DAISHI DANCE's wonderful album Spectacle, which was released last month, but for those who just want Mika's song then this single is the way to go. The lyrical English-language fusion number builds anticipation with a beautiful piano intro, then gradually adds house beats, additional arrangement, and finally Mika's vocals lilting out Lori Fine's dreamy, elegiac lyrics. Memory is a great track to couple with Nagareboshi, as the lyrics of the two songs almost seem to answer to each other. |
