Great single
| Star is quite a single. The title track is emotional and one of aiko's most touching ballads to date. Though it shares a resemblance to numerous other songs by her, aiko is still able to make this a standout track. The second track is a pretty light hearted song, which is both catchy and once again shares a resemblance to her previous works. I find that her B-sides tend to lag behind, but this one is definitely one of her best. The last song is once again another highlight. I must say the use of brass instruments definitely propels the song, giving it an extra touch where it's draggy melody lacks. Overall, this is quite an enjoyable single, though it shares resemblances to other aiko singles. |

Average aiko with a Bit of Something Else?!
| aiko has never been one to stray too far from her regular sound. "Star" is no different, however, the song starts off promising and with the typically sweet lyrics. Track two, "Chou no Hanekazari" is an upbeat aiko song that reminds you of her earlier work. It's nice, and mid-song she lifts her voice above her normal comfort level, giving a nice ringing song to this mid-tempo, soft rock love ballad. With this single aiko isn't stingy; she gives us a third track that really redeems her in my eyes. The third track, "Konpeitou" is just what I was needing from aiko--a less "been-there" and "done-that" love song that wasn't fast and "cute" but more emotional, slow and fun. This song is all of that. It picks up towards the middle like most of her songs, but it enfuses trumpets with her normal strong drum/plunky piano sound. The trumpets and whining guitar really make this light foot-tapping number worth it. Naturally, aiko's voice is as cute as ever, but it's the first time in the past TWO YEARS that I've enjoyed the instruments so much on an aiko single. She pushes the envelope with this last track, and one wishes it had been the lead single instead! |
