Question about Boys & Girls?

AFTERSCHOOL · #1 8th December 2010, 06:21 AM

I was reading the article about A BEST on Jpop Stop and found this:

The songs "A Song for ××", "Trust" and "Depend on you" were re-recorded for this album along with "End roll," which wasn't announced to be re-recorded, and "Boys & Girls," which had a new instrumental part but the voice still being the same as the older version.

Where is this new instrumental part, and is the track length of the Boys & Girls on A BEST any different to the one on LOVEppears? Which Boys & Girls of LOVEppears / A BEST is the one that features on A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~? Thank you!

The one on A COMPLETE is the single version AKA the version on LOVEppears.

The version on A BEST just has a little more bass, it's nothing TOO different.

^ It's a little more guitar-heavy too. Or rather, the guitar is emphasized instead of the synth, as in the original.

The ending is different...there's a guitar outro.

-Guitar outro is the only REAL difference.
-There's more bass, a lot more guitar, more strings, less synth, and more high hat.
-on the 4 impacts before each chorus, they sound a little different, thinner and tinnier, and also go back and forth between the 2 stereo channels, whereas in the LOVEppears version they're more evenly distributed between the 2 channels.
-The A BEST version includes Ayu inhaling at the beginning, which is not present in the LOVEppears version (import in Audacity and amplify the "silence" at the beginning about 40 dB to hear it).
-The A BEST version is 1 or 2 BPM faster (I figured this out when I tried to line them up in Audacity)
-The synth in the instrumental interlude after each chorus has more of a wah effect, whereal in the LOVEppears version it just goes up and down the frequency spectrum (sounds kinda like a 'whooshing', almost, but idk the proper term)
-not as much reverb in the A BEST version (i.e. 'asayake ga mabushikute', 'senaka osu shunkan ni', 'ta la la la...', and the end of each chorus)
-during "wasurenaide ite kono natsu koso wa to kawashita yakusoku o" and the same part in the next verse, there's an arpeggiated guitar flourish thats uber-quiet in the A BEST version.
