The B-side, well, on the side where it belongs, Kimi no Uta itself is deserving of taking the single¡Çs title slot. It opens abruptly, without any kind of intro to ease us into it? by now, however, our nerves are strong enough to take this level of awesomeness on the fly. Nishikawa starts singing the second the music begins, and the melody (both vocal and instrumental) is¡Äa bit odd? Not sure how to articulate my first impression of Kimi no Uta, but when I first heard it, I wasn¡Çt that impressed. The melody seemed somehow slightly flat, and Nishikawa¡Çs vocals were oddly reminiscent of his Revolution gig.
However, about 30 seconds in, my opinion erupted from its moody cocoon and beat new wings. Contrary to my initial response as Kimi no Uta, all OP charm and no meat, this new realization was that Kimi no Uta was a revelation. A revolution! Where a lot of abs fare has been heavy and heavier, Kimi no Uta takes a break from that swing, taking it easy on the turn-table mixing and hardcore guitars to deal us a hand of a mellower mix. They utilize the duo-guitar super-team of SUNAO and Shibasaki Hiroshi by playing one heavy guitar-lick and one tinkly, wiry, finger-picking strain on the other, to create a double-layer of sound, giving the whole thing a ton of subtle but powerful oomph in all the right places.
What really steals you, though, is the guitar solo/instrumental break. This is the point where you expect everything to get bumped up a notch? but they tease you, and satisfy perfectly at the same time? a delicate and beautiful thing. The break is perfectly jazzy, downplayed, and then pouring us right on into hard-rock the way we like it? but how we¡Çve never heard it before. Not lately, anyway. These guys are killing it, playing on their skills and beefing up their originality and creativity.
In short, the song is an excellent peak of talent, subtlety, and playing on strengths. They¡Çve downplayed the hard-rock thing to work with some different mediums, bringing in that OP feel, a little of Nishikawa¡Çs T.M. poppyness, and yet dishing out core abs.
