Yeah, I’m tired. So I go find previews of the full songs that I’m gonna hear for most of next month. Let me break it down so that you guys can anticipate with me some songs that are potentially gonna reach MY charts this year…
ClariS – Naisho no Hanashi (2012.02.01 Release):
If it comes as a surprise to you, then you shouldn’t. I’ve posted their anime preview before, unless you don’t like it, then carry on reading this paragraph. The whole song (as heard from NicoNico) is somewhat good, as they dumped the anime excerpt into the 2nd verse. Overall song is rather good, and there we have the first ‘high’ (on my regard) song of the year. Cheers.
Chatmonchy – Mangetsu ni Hoero (2012.02.01 Release):
Well… I think this one is good, compared to the other I’ll be talking about. But if they can cut those sound effects of howling wolves it’ll make the listening experience better. But yeah, if you miss some Chatmonchy (if you’re some fan of them, partially disbanded) and want more, this is definitely one not to miss out. Those solo guitars and unique beats would make you come back for more…
Chatmonchy – Therman Roman (2012.02.08 Release):
I think… I’ve succumbed to this one. (Audience: Already?) Yeah. But then it also has unique melody, which is a outstanding factor in vocal, guitar and composer Eriko. So I wouldn’t mind. But of course there’s still the PV to improve this song’s feel…
Porno Graffitti – 2012Spark (2012.02.08 Release):
Well Porno NEVER fails to disappoint me with energetic songs, and this is no exception. But then due to their lousy English pronunciation (btw this is read as “prəˌnənsēˈāSHən”, thanks to Google) they have to resort to murmuring, singing that irritating word from all over the instrumentals. Well one more song for the “English Can Be Better” commendation…
SCANDAL – HARUKAZE (2012.02.22 Release):
Being the BLEACH Opening Song I should give face, then I noticed after so long then they released this single also means… I shouldn’t give face at all. So here’s my verdict: There’s something wrong. And there is, from the feel, to its structure, to even the lyrics I can pick on them already (like there HA-RU-KA-ZE just fills any four bars). Haiz, let’s wait for the PV then…
Aqua Timez – MASK (2012.02.22 Release):
This, however, is receiving great recognition. At least the Aqua Timez spirit is back. Or, actually they’re scared of changing the structure of the song, so they’re staying safe this time round. Which is great, meaning that what I hear in YouTube would be a good song already. Three cheers for Aqua Timez~
I guess that’s all, damn long already. If you would excuse me I’ll immerse myself with these songs… or give miwa a chance later…
