Definitely get a "Watashi no Aisuru Hito" vibe from it.

The more I watch, the more I like. Genuinely strong single. Best Ringo related release since Ichigo Ichie

And like Ichigo Ichie, so good that it will sell fuck all copies!

And this has an instrumental right?

Damn... I might end up fucking buying this after promising myself not to.

Is the Keyboard sampled from somewhere? I felt like I've heard that tune before.

Fuck it, I'll bite. I don't like it very much. I don't really like the main chord progression (very James Bond - although I do like how it switches up and it's a short enough track that I'm not mad at it)

I like the structure and I really like the wind section, but Megumi Hayashibara doesn't sell it at all for me. Ringo would have delivered it with a ton of attitude, and I'd like to think she would have been a lot more dynamic with her vocals - she certainly wouldn't have just whisper-sung the whole thing. This sounds like someone singing karaoke over the original track.

Ringo would sing it 100x better, that's a given.

I dunno... She'd probably autotune hers... :-p

Seriously though, these vocals sit well with me. Pretty sexy.

Ringo is NOT the one that needs auto-tune.

This sounds like the chilled out version of Reimport's first track. And My Love. I think, even if I couldn't describe it in a musical way, I am sooooo used to the pattern of SR's songs. The instrumentation gives it a slight edge, and yeah, I think I'd definitely be Itunes-ing it if it were Ringo on vox.

I'm honestly at the point where I don't think Ringo's vocals would really benefit the track all that much... the instrumentals and balance with the fragile vocals here are it's true strong point.

Lucky then... we get instrumentals on the single.
