I definitely agree with this statement. I think it's one of the factors that contributes to this single sounding like it may be from a past era. I'm really hoping this toned down vibrato is here to stay :D!

I didn't even realize about the vibrato...hm...

omg... I really love MOON. Really a great improvement over the CHAKU UTA previews, and also I have to say the vocals are really much better, and it sounds like her voice is slowly returning to normal!!! I am really relieved about that~~ No more Last Links vocal plz... I love love love the instruments in the song, the programming of MOON is so great, but actually the background voice sometimes feels too loud... ahahaha... but that's the only complaint.

And blossom, I LOVE the intro!!! It's sooooo great. It's so different that anything she has done... Actually when I first heard the chorus, I imagined MY STORY Ayu singing it... I don't know why ahaha. The only complaint I have is... the first and second sabi/chorus are too low key... it's a bit anti-climactic... just a BIT. But then the last is really good, so it makes up for it!!!

But I love that they are really really great songs, and the continue from the sound Rock and Roll Circus, it sounds like they could really fit in with the album... I can't wait for next single!

I agree...I will probably never listen to a chaku-uta preview again. they're horrible.

I'm kinda disappointed that blossom doesn't have that sound that is in the zespri CM, like in the beginning.

This! I'm not a fan of her endless vibrato at all, I will NOT miss it.

talkin' 2 myself comes to mind. LOL I don't mind it though

Oh my gosh blossom was such a shocker! Not expecting that style at all and I LOVE IT...
:luv2

MOON is fantastic. Really digging the chorus and the intro, especially the guitar riffs. It sounds kind of dreamy!!

blossom is EVEN better! Really getting an older feeling, like ASFXX-Duty feeling from it, in a good way. And I wasn't even a huge fan of those albums! I like the change of pace, and the chorus is surprisingly upbeat. Piano intro is beautiful. ooh...guitar... liking that... in concert I think Yo-chan could have a nice little solo. The ending is very cool.

overall a lovely single.

The Microphone remix reminds me a lot of that Depend on you Remix from the Ay-u-mix CM (that one with Ayu turning from her from the club cover to her from the acoustic cover). I think it's the Dub's Electro Remix if I'm not mistaken.

blossom surprised me, I'm not stupid enough to think that a preview will sound 100% like when it's 192kps or similar, but wow. It's really different from what I heard before. I LOVE the bridge with it's guitar riff. Now I'm switched around; I don't feel the chorus, while the rest of the song really speaks to me.

The Microphone remix is...interesting. Not amazing, but definitely a good mix, I'll be listening to a lot.
