cool, a video game? this song BETTER be upbeat. but if it's an ending, it'll probbably be slow

[howtousesexy]

I've been meaning to try her out since she's on the rhythm zone sub-label (yeah, I have a thing for artists on that. ). Just wanted to ask, is she like urban pop or what?

[drewbilation]

^ nope, she's sorta folksy-pop.

[howtousesexy]

Hmm, alright. I'll probably try out Garden anyways.

[AyUta]

You'll like Garden if you're into major ballads Especially Hometown.

&Thanks for the previews!

[sora-kara]

6damnit..those previews NEVER work for me! ;_____;

[AyUta]

OMG I LOVE the previews!

[sora-kara]

i finally figured out how to get the previews to work
hahah

they sound pretty good. : )

i like i like. sounds like a promising single.
kinda lite and summery for a fall release though...

[apple-pi]

MAN, I ADORE THESE PREVIEWS
I think this'll be a pretty solid single, Yuumachikaze has been growing one me too. At first I didn't like it much and was just sad it was another ballad, but it's really not bad (Yuumachikaze>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Arigatou)

I thought I'd be losing all my interest in Samii if she didn't stop releasing ballads, but I guess not. It would still be GREAT if she could do something really NEW for a change, but it seems I can still love her as a ballad artist after all
It was probably just that Arigatou was so so so so bad that it kinda freaked me out

And aren't game theme songs usually alternative-sounding? Like KOKIA's Follow the Nightingale, and there's a bunch of experimental indie artists that pratically release game music solely. That could be promising...

Man same here ...I really wanna hear!!!

[apple-pi]

OMG. I'm SO impressed with this single.
I swear, even though they're all ballads, they all just seem so different & unique. I love every single damn track in it. Yuumachikaze sounds to me so much infinetely better now than back when the PV leaked.

I think my favorite song is Tsuki ga Miteiru, it's gorgeous. Though Yuumachikaze and Aoi Hana follow REALLY closely behind. Tsumiki is great too, and I love its arrangement, but the composition seems to be lacking something... I love it, but not as much as the other 3 tracks.

Man, I've put this release on repeat and have been looping it for some time now. Samii isn't really for everyone, I guess some people may consider her music boring... but it just sounds so... high quality. At least this single does.

[AyUta]

^ I couldn't agree with you more That single was amazing IMO. I just love her vocals in ballads...they're perfect <3 and yes her material does sound very high quality. I think my fav song is Aoi Hana.
