Another Interesting Domoto Tsuyoshi Release!
| My first experience with Domoto Tsuyoshi's voice on solo was with "WAVER" released for the drama, "Home Drama" a few years ago. It was a bit classical rock mixed with an interesting alternative pop edge that made it enjoyable. His follow-up album to that, "[si:]" was also just as great and enigmatic with electric guitar, trumpets and other instruments I can't possibly name. This time around under the identity of "ENDLICHERI*ENDLICHERI," Tsuyoshi brings more of his strange-but-amazing rock style to "Someiyoshino" (Yoshino cherry tree). The title track not only has the interesting lyrics you'd expect from Tsuyoshi, but also a slow, painfully sweet pace that accompanies his distinctive voice. If you already like Tsuyoshi, I don't have to explain this to you--if you're new to his style, it's similar and different at the same time to how he sings in KinKi Kids (another reason he has probably chosen a new name to get rid of his Johnny's boyband image). This is definitely a moving, slow song which uses the image of cherry tree petals to symbolize his love and the confusing pain of one's impermanence. Indeed, this is no Pop fluff song. The second track, "Nurenezumi" (Soaked to the Bone) is a rock meets accordion/trumpets-from-Italian-circus-esque track. It's more upbeat than "Someiyoshino" but still has his signature mark all over it. It's creative, but if you don't like hokey-pokey sounds, this one might not be for you. It's nothing amazing to me, I feel like I heard it on his last album. Closing up all of this is "Blueberry," a song which seems like a tribute to big city nightlife in the 1970s. Again, the quirky band sound exists but with an even faster pace than "Nurenezumi" as Tsuyoshi seems to try some more 'R&B soulful' talk-singing, disco-esque, scat rendition of his own style. This single is aimed at everyone, but his best effort lies in "Someiyoshino" where his unique style really shines. Overall, this single is amazing, and it's a great prelude to his March 1st album! |
