CHiAKi KURiYAMA collab single

[Orenji]

I didn't see this one coming :O! I must confess I'm glad with the collab, for I cannot help loving Chiaki since Kill Bill Vol. 1 . The 3min thing sounds pretty interesting, too...

Previews:

1. The Creamy Season: http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/?70006318...FCL-1759_01SFL

2. The Decisive 3min http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/?70006318...FCL-1760_01SFL

Hmm....the second one has potential.

Thanks scribble! Nothing particularly interesting in these previews but we'll see.

[ShadyNook]

Sounds like typical Hitomi Furuya songs circa 1999-2002

IA. The first one is...meh. Thanks for the previews.

[Ringo~Bingo]

The first one is crap and the second one is actually ear hurting to listen to due to all that distortion shit. Combine that with an average voice and there's nothing to really see here.

Moving along...

i liked both previews =D the first one sounds like shiina ringo would compose in her early times and the second one does sound really promising

i think i heard "ice creaaam" (or I scream?) in the first song.. that would explain the creamy season thing

[BlueApple]

I heard ice cream, too. I am not sure how I feel about either of these. The first one was kind of generic, and I was hoping the second one would at least have a bit of the same vibe as Noudoteki Sanpunkan....but it doesn't :|

See, I thought the first one sounds like...well, you know how Gips only *just* gets away with not being generic J-Pop, due to the arrangement and SR's vocals/passion? (I don't like Gips, but Gips in its production sounds like SR saying 'you don't like J-Pop? I'm gonna make you like J-Pop -- it's for your own good' then proceeding to ram it down our throats). The Creamy Season is like...J-Pop but not getting away with it (or just simply J-Pop)

I thought the second one had potential because...I miss quirky production on SR songs so much and it's the closest thing to that(she's really toned this down nowadays). Kinda reminds me of SG Superficial Gossip towards the end.

Random note: kinda sent me on a 'sr-with-other-artists' listening spree, and I want to say that the Maboroshi song is actually pretty good. I hated it back in the day because the 'yeah yeahs' are pretty cheesy, but I love the effect used during SR's segment.
