sa_i_ta was my favorite track. Nice 70s feel to the song. Kinda like Blondie. They've done songs like this, but this one comes off a little better than the others. Uki's singing doesn't even bring it down for me. It's actually quite danceable.

Kai Horror Dust had some interesting concepts. The Egyptian/Arabic guitar was interesting, but the song is let down by Izawa's singing and some out of place pop moments.

Nothing really to say about Time Capsule. It's a Kameda ballad.

Honto to Tokoro is awesome. Hata is great. It's like an atmospheric The Back Horn song. Hata doesn't sing so much as he shouts, but I like his voice.

Overall, I liked three of the five tracks. Hata delivers the most fresh sounding experience on the EP, but the other tracks don't stray far from the Phase 2 sound. It's a good, but not great collection of tracks. Ringo's and Izawa's tracks are the weak links this time. I'd say Ringo's is my least favorite of them.
