More 'bout the New Single

Yes, it's totaly my opinion what you've written!!!!!
My friends always tell me I'm stupid because I don't listen to their previwes and buy the cd without knowing anything. But I told them too, that I love and trust Kagrra,. And they never disappointed me.
^^

I finally heard the single yesterday. Argh! Another perfect release by a perfect band. Shiki follows the "trend" they have had lately with Utakata and stuff, but to me it sounds a lot more powerful and "deep", in lack of better words. Both the second song and the third took some listens before I got into and they both surprised me (coz I never expected this from Kagrra) but goddamnit, they're good.

!

i agree...!!!
Kagrra, never disapointed me in their every releases...

Haha~ so amusing that Shiki's release is on my friend's birthday too. So it was a double celebration! ^^

Well, the single is really satisfying~

Shiki of course has that Kagrra, mark in a song, the subtle way Isshi sings the song, his voice mellow at the beginning, laying out the story then escalating into this dramatic, almost struggling voice to reach out for someone. Of course, I think one of the highlights of this song is Shin's koto. The addition of this instrument took Kagrra,'s music to a whole new level; more connected to the authentic Japanese sound. And notice he wasn't Shin the guitarist here? He's Shin the koto player, LOL!

about the PV:
Ahahahah~ Why does Isshi looks like Willy Wonka? XDDD Well, it does have a story and that. >D
Shin looks really good with his hair like that~ *3*
And Izumi....my love, why are you smirking all the way in the PV? XDDD

Musou Sakai : I don't have anything to say about this but it's a good song. Not just one of my favorites! But Akiya's guitar riffs is really amazing~

Gikyoku Kagome Utai is my favorite from the new single.
The intro sounds very jazzy to me, as if I'm seeing Tokyo lights at night while inside a bar. The addition of the female vocals escalates this feeling. Waaah~ I'm so bad at describing my feelings about it, but I really really love it. XDDDDD

Yeah! I also like Akiya's guitarriff in Musou Sakai!! He plays so fast!! <333
I thought he would play it with a righthand hammer-on technique, but he didn't! O.o

I also think Gikyoku Kagome Utai sounds a bit jazzy! I love that!
This song is really a masterpiece!

About Shiki... ah, it's sooooo beautiful!

Hummm.. I think I'll write a longer review later...

Uhn~
I noticed that Akiya has always been such a great guitarist. I mean, when he plays the guitar, he looks so comfortable with it and with not much effort. And his guitar parts are always very clearn, especially his solo parts are something so swoon-about~

So Musou Sakai is no exception!!! XDDDD


I love the jazzy parts of Gikyoku!!!
