[Kinki Kids] - Yakusoku (約束)

Okay, technically this is a fangirling blog so I can fangirl about whoever I want. In this case, I would like to just let everyone know that even though Arashi is my #1 group, in terms of music...Kinki Kids are the winners. ^^ And with that, my crazy rant on how much I love, love love their new song "Yakusoku"

Yakusoku (約束)
What can I say? Ever since I heard this song in the Johnny's Countdown I've loved it. I downloaded the PV but I didn't really watch it. It's a bit plain, but this song. THIS song.. oh my god. It's so... much.. love. Like. I swear I'm not being biased. The melody is catchy and then their voices and their harmony and *rants on and on*... conclusion? This song is the best. I love this song.


Loving
It's alright. I like it, if I listen to it but it doesn't really stick in my mind. It's like a lot of Kinki Kids ballads - ie - they sort of make me sleepy xD It doesn't mean I don't like it but I'm not going to be listening to it on repeat. I think overall, it's the song I like the least.


Yume Hajime Hana (夢始めの花)
It's faster paced than Loving so ... yeah. I generally like fast paced songs more ^^. I like the melody of the song, it's interesting. Possibly my second most favourite song in this single, but again, it doesn't stay in my mind so much. Although I enjoy listening to it. I like the chorus a lot. ^^ When the song starts to pick up... ah... so good.

Tabidachi no Hi (旅立ちの日)

Ah. Even though this is a low ballad-sort of song, I like it a lot. It has a very calming effect on me. I'm not sure what, but it just gives me this sort of sweet feeling that i really like. The piano (pretty sure it's a piano) in the background in the beginning makes me smile. I always like piano's being played.


Overall
Overall - obviously - I love this single. xD Although I don't listen to all the songs (3/4) as an entire single it gives me this sort of... really mellow, calming sort of feeling. Kinki Kids music generally gives me that type of feeling and mixed in with their wonderful vocals it really just adds to the feel. This single, if you listen to all the songs together you really will get the best out of it. *sighs dreamily...* Seriously, if you're not a fan of Kinki kids - listen to Yakusoku and fall in love.
