Yume Yume

I've been interested in O2R from the beginning, and they haven't dissapointed me yet. Yume Yume is very different from their usual stuff, but at the same time, it still has their unique flavor. This song is sooo catchy, you really want to dance to it. Toru does more rapping in this one and Taka's voice sounds great as usual. Better than usual, really! What liked most was the unique synch of the guitars. And Alex's had a really twangy sound, which I like. And as per always, I love Tomoya's bouncy drumming. Karasu, the B-side, was a song I instantly liked when I heard the sample on their band's website. Again, it's a bit different from their usual stuff. First, you get to actually hear some soft singing from Toru, instead of Taka, who picks up after a few lines. Taka's voice wasn't as strong in this on as YumeYume, but it's hard to deny he's a great singer. The guitar work didn't stand out quite as much, but was still great. All in all, I loved this single almost as much asI loved Naihi Shinsho and I totally recommend it!
