So here’s a simple game that I thought might be fun/interesting to play here.
It works like this:
Someone posts a song (via youtube, soundcloud, or some external link). The next person shares what they think about the song, and then posts a song of their own for review. Everyone is welcome to play this game.
The rules are simple:
Song must be Japanese (any kind of J-rock or metal-related genres are welcome).
Your review has to be at least one sentence long. You can write more if you want, but one sentence will suffice.
Include a number rating with your review (ie 5/10 or 3/5)
So to get started, I’ll post the first song for review! GO!
Good enough dual vocals, I also like the overall catchiness of the song but I think is lacking some energy that would make it a bit boring if the song was longer.
Review: The beginning sounded a bit chaotic but not in a bad way. The sining part was catching and it was intresting that they had longer instrumental parts, scream parts and parts with melodic singing but overall I found the song to long.
Review: All the parts by themselves sound good but feel very separated from each other. Maybe because of the live mixing? Enjoyed the guitars very much.
I remember when this song came out that j-indie fans were really into, but it didn’t do much for me. I’ve since become a fan of both Mukai’s work and Leo Imai tho and I think that’s retrospectively affected my opinion of this song, too. The 80’s-like feel they went for here really isn’t my favorite, but I can definitely appreciate it more than I did before. Really enjoy the reggae-like verses and the vocals from both men tho. It’s pretty good overall and makes me wonder how i’d feel about the whole album now.
8/10
(and lmao I couldn’t write just once sentence. maybe next time )
