xi-sai

My favourite song on this CD. I’ve always liked how this band manages to be loud in a very «gracious» manner, a quality that is particularly stressed in this composition. Maybe it’s Satoshi’s voice that is capable of supporting this sound and atmosphere…in any case, the result honours them!
 

uso
Uso, namely “lie”. All the songs have very simple titles, consisting of no more than 2 words, which seems pretty smart to me: it’s discrete and easy to remember at the same time. This particular little song is pretty calm and reminds me of the classic Japanese rock sound (mainly the introductory guitar riff, and the whole construction of the song as it unfolds through my earphones). It is definitely an excellent choice for a 2nd song and it accomplishes a really good connection with the 3rd track.

high light

Its pop intro lifts me up. We are already halfway through this mini album and I might as well say I’m starting to emotionally “bond” with what I’m hearing. “high light” might not be too different from the two previous tracks instrumentation-wise, yet it introduces the electronic-pop element in a careful manner, something which will definitely be appreciated by all the listeners.
 

limiter
A more aggressive, mysterious sound and all of a sudden…dubstep?! Exactly! A heavier electronic sound is slowly making its appearance, reaching a short, thoroughly electronic bridge. I certainly hadn’t seen this coming. A very unexpected combination of sounds makes “limiter” the “fullest” track sound-wise, not that much suitable for headbanging, but suitable for those who look for something different in what they listen to.
 

doc
The change to something much lighter is somehow abrupt, but I can’t say I dislike this variety. A sweet ballad with an acoustic guitar, a bass, drums and a few electronic sounds, beautiful changes in the melody that highlight each instrument taking part. Of course, the song becomes more intense towards the end, but actually ends with the song’s original tranquility. 
 

tear drop 
We have reached the final track, a much faster song. I believe there’s something about its melody that makes it the perfect final track for this mini album. It’s the shortest of all songs, so the moment it ends, it makes me wanna listen to the whole album from the top… was this actually the band’s goal? In any case, they have achieved an excellent result for us, their listeners!
