To-y2 Album Review
To Yours : I actually found this song a bit disappointing at first, till I heard the chorus, it has such a melancholic melody to it. Then I was hooked. Still sounds like a Tegomass reject I'm sorry.
りあらぶ (Real Love) : This took me back to their Good Ikuze era! Like "Kimi to no Kiseki" and "Motettai Everyday" had a baby.
HANDS UP: I'll assume this was their obligatory "punch-y track" for the album. Kinda bummed that they made it a single first. The third track usually takes me by surprise.
Cannonball: The buildup was really nice... till the chorus happened. This was like Forza and Brand New World. Vocals-wise they were quite impressive! (Gaya, babe, that key was high) , I liked the line distribution. The RAP. YES. IT WAS NICE. I love how they're giving Senga the ad-libs.
Letting Go: OMG I HAVE SUCH MIXED FEELINGS WITH THIS SONG. I LOVE IT AND HATE IT SO MUCH BECAUSE ONCE THE BEAT DROPS IT WAS THE UGLIEST SOUND I'VE EVER HEARD. THEY SOUND LIKE CONSTIPATED DUCKS. I swear if they just changed the sound bite it could've saved everything, because Kitayama's bridge took me to places.
Positive Man: I'm not a fan of the genre, but they did a great job with the reggae, that's a first. They added some character to their singing to suit the playful tone (Gaya pls, I know he's having so much fun with it).
MAHARAJA: I'm gonna blame Gaya. Idk what you were even thinking. This sounded more like Indonesian Dangdut. I'm surprised how your producer managed to find the exact same synths used in Dangdut. I still enjoyed Senga and Kitayama's singing style, that was a treat.
Be Alright: This was fun! It was so nostalgic to listen to. The punk reggae rock really takes me back to those coming of age jdramas in the early 2000s (like Arashi's "Fight Song"). I've always wondered how they'd sound, so thanks for fulfilling that!
My Place: My golden track. This was absolutely gorgeous, such a heartfelt ballad, with strings a steady tempo and sentimental vocals. Also, the cute little game sound bites was such a nice touch. It really reminded me of Animal Crossing??
Edge of Days: It was a solid single. It really gave off that anime vibe considering how it was used for "Million Joe" jdrama. The bell tongs, trumpets, swirly guitar riffs and drum reverbs added such a dramatic urgency to the song.
Make you mine: The build up was amazing, I really thought we were getting some Martin Garrix quality edm... till the chorus happened. Man, it's like there were like two separate songs put into one. Nika's triplet beat rap followed by Tama's 'Clap-a-Holic' autotuned voice and THEN that stank face dance break interlude was *chef kiss*.
Sometime: Wow. Please do more sexy jazzy hotel lounge raps please. Y'all took turns. The chorus was cute, it's like "Saturday Life" had a sexy older (but like with a 7 year age gap) uncle. Idk why I pictured that.
Memento: Hello beautiful Mr.Children-esque ballad. I'm picturing them singing in a warm candle-lit cottage kitchen with a leaking roof. They're filmed together and then also separately with Kitayama on guitar, senga on keys and miyata on drums, nika on bass. (Yes they all could play instruments, so why won't Avex help release a musical band song)
COUNT 7EVEN: Our saving grace with the longest duration (5.01 mins) Another one of Kisumai's finest. We got strings, jazz drummer, trumpets, piano and that amaaazing bass and guitarist. My friends that countdown to the gunshot was godly. I wished this was a single. I want a DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE FOR THIS. BLACK AND WHITE SILHOUETTES GIVE IT TO ME. Don't @ me but it reminded me of Jojo okay.
Smilest: Meh. It was good enough for a cm. That's all.
Bonus Track, Seed: It's alright, kinda wished they didn't have the choir in the first bit. I liked LuLaLuLaLa much more.
Overall it's a decent album, they put great efforts into some of the tracks. But it's a stretch to say that it's surpassed FREE HUGS. I'm curious to know what other fans think of it!
