Review by JPod

This single is a great package. The title track (both versions, Japanese and English) are beautifully composed and written while they are (surprisingly) differently arranged. Both composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu while penned by Angela Aki, the two tracks have a certain nostalgic quality to them. The two B-sides included are not just fillers. Both are distinctly Angela Aki, revealing her simplistic yet expressive style. The included DVD is a bonus treat, especially for us fans of the Final Fantasy series. It showcases the music video of the title track, including some scenes from the game Final Fantasy XII. A definite must-have!

This is one of Miwako Okuda's best singles! I like every aspect of the title track--the dark lyrics, the nostalgic melody, the stirring arrangement... The song is delivered with great emotion by Miwako Okuda. I highly recommend it!

This is a great, high-energy pop-rock song. It's a got a nice, funky arrangement despite its simplicity. It's both guitar- and vocal-driven and extremely catchy! It's so hard NOT to sing along to it!

This is song is a classic! One of the best J-Pop ballads ever... The arrangement itself is unique, haunting and stirring. The melody will no doubt get stuck in your head! It's a ballad that stands out!

The title track is a very soothing song. It's a fusion of both modern and traditional musical elements and Okinawan Rimi Natsukawa showcases the beauty of her region in this song. (The title track was penned by fellow Okinawans in their band BEGIN.) Great single!
