the mixing is so bad..

I love Zutto... it's serene, calm, very pretty. not as polished in terms of simple ballads like JEWEL, not as dramatic as BALLAD, then again it's only a preview on YouTube. the arrangement is really ethereal though, love it!

Last minute this is the one song in the single to satisfy this forum I think. only problem is the mixing with the main and backing vocals is so odd but I hope in CD-quality it will be improved. something about the lyrics is painful too .. like "Begging people, trusting people, leads you to destruction" or something along those lines. very interested for the translation, and a live performance.

Walk captured me in the first ten seconds then it became a really, really, really watered down version of Melody. I hope it builds up more in the parts we haven't gotten on YouTube, but it's my least favorite of the 3 for now.

Last minute > Zutto... > Walk

in general, the single gives a really strong RAINBOW vibe. I wonder if her next album is gonna go in that direction - dreamy, serene, ethereal
