Aqua is a bit of a glutton but his activities always keep him relatively healthy. Aqua Wave belongs to Magic. Magic is a novel written by me.

I changed up Aqua Wave's design a bit. His eyes are now a lighter shade of green, he wears a blue long sleeve shirt with jeans, the resonance stone now hangs around his neck, and his fin is now on his back. Also, the location of his soul crystal is on his left (His left) palm. It is a lime green color while he is using his power in small amounts and turns into a bright blue color when he starts using larger amounts of his power.

When Night Lock and Aqua Wave got settled into their rolls after finding Kitsune and her group they did what Night calls "Information gathering". He mostly just wanted to understand what he had missed in the thousands of years that he, Aqua, Inferno, and Illusion that they had been a statue. Aqua, for his part, found it incredibly boring and often fell asleep while learning. Night didn't mind and even found it cute. Night Lock and Aqua Wave belong to Magic which belongs to me.

Misun is a fun little trio from D.C. whose music is so unique that a whole new word had to be invented to describe it; ladies and gentlemen, feast your ears on "aquawave."

Review Corner: Aqua Wave - 葉月ゆか x Tetsushi

Genre: Electronic Dance, Pop, Doujin

First review! Aqua Wave is an electronic pop album containing 7 tracks first released for Comiket 84 in December 2013. Ehh this seems to be foreign ground because this was mostly electronic music, which I don't normally listen to. I will review this from a casual listener point of view. 

Aqua Wave – the album opens with an electronic dance instrumental track. Interesting use of layering without overwhelming the listener creating a solid opening

Flying Star – As soon as Aqua Wave finishes, it transitions right into this track. The style and vocals reminds me of Vocaloid and Perfume musical works. [note: I was listening to some Perfume earlier so I couldn’t help notice the similarity] The little “bursts” of stars sound effects gives cute flourishes to the “kira kira” lyrics, giving the impression of flying stars. 葉月ゆか’s vocals reminds me of a “mature” Perfume voice with a lower pitch.

Black Cat – In comparison with the cutesy pop “Flying Star” we get into darker track, which utilizes a freaky harmony along with a grainy background. The vocals are less processed which adds to the “freakiness.” Tetsushi does a good job with playing the volume velocity and intensity to help contribute to the atmosphere of the song [at first I thought it was my earphones giving way which did add to that atmosphere)

S.W.A.K (Sealed with a kiss) – This track didn't really catch my attention as well as the other 3 tracks but it has a 80s-90s feel with a consistent beat. Interesting use of the dead-ringer synth as the countermelody to her mellow vocals. [I feel that ゆか sounded bored but it does contribute to the overall mood of the song

ROSY ROSE – ROSY ROSE has a 80s feel that reminds me of chiptune and early anime opening/ending themes, especially the way they process and mixed the song. Even the instrumental arrangement sounds like a pretty convincing 80s track. [reminds me of the Sailor Moon OP and those early Gundam and Yamato themes]

恋が熱くて – This was a pleasant surprise but a welcoming one because my ears were a bit tired at this point. This is a nicely arranged jazzy up-tempo track that reminds me of the music from the swing era. Her vocals are definitely pop style but she’s able to fit in with the music although I find that the one can tell that the brass and saxes are midi [musician sharp ears >_>] Feels pretty short compared to the other tracks though.

キミトアルク。– Concluding this album is a gentler but still up-beat instrumental track. Reminds me of an instrumental for the ending of a movie or video game. Lovely piano melody that’s not overwhelming and good use of atmospheric tracks

Overall I think this was a solid album and a strong collaboration between 葉月ゆか and Tetsushi. My favourite tracks are Flying Star, 恋が熱くて and キミトアルク。

However I think I was fazed by the time I listened to S.W.A.K but I felt that there was something lacking since nothing really popped out at me when I was listening to it. I think葉月ゆか’s vocals are pretty but at times it didn’t match some of the track styles but Tetsushi’s composition and arrangements are top-notch. [he did contribute composing for Sphere and SKE48]
