JUST TUNE [savage genius][OP] & Nagareboshi [ROUND TABLE feat. Nino][ED]

Yozakura Quartet; I have yet to watch the anime, but am quite interested in the manga. Might pick it up soon, by the way. Before I proceed, I apologise for this post’s lateness, since the SINGLES came out quite early. ^^;;

JUST TUNE: Tracklist
1. JUST TUNE
2. Mizu no Wakusei / 水の惑星
3. JUST TUNE (without Vocal)
4. Mizu no Wakusei / 水の惑星 (without Vocal)

JUST TUNE ; Mizu no Wakusei

Like savage genius’ other songs, it uses a lot of techno effects with some slight electric guitar and electronic drums for the beat. I prefer JUST TUNE compared to Mizu no Wakusei as the rhythm and vocal blends together better than the latter. Mizu no Wakusei does have its own good points, like the instrumental before the Bridge at about points 2:59 – 3:29, though it’s quite short. That part includes some soft piano, for your information.

Both their instrumentals are quite nice, but their vocal counterparts are still better in overall terms. I must say that Mizu no Wakusei’s instrumental is almost as enjoyable as the one with vocal; violin in the background is more evident. There is a soft vocal backup of savage genius for the instrumentals.

Nagareboshi: Tracklist

1. Nagareboshi (ナガレボシ)
2. Akaneiro Sentimental (茜色センチメンタル)
3. Inori (祈り)
4. Nagareboshi (without Nino)
5. Akaneiro Sentimental (without Nino)

Nagareboshi ; Akaneiro Sentimental ; Inori

I am enjoying this SINGLE quite a lot, actually. ^_^. Personally, the best of the SINGLE is Nagareboshi; accompanied with violin, drums and a very very soft electric guitar. The fastest-paced song in the SINGLE. Akaneiro Sentimental and Inori slant towards the ballad side than Nagareboshi which is more to J-Pop. Same as Nagareboshi, Akaneiro Sentimental has some violin and drums but not as catchy. Inori is quite enjoyable too, with its sad rhythm and atmosphere. Quite melancholic.

Nagareboshi’s vocal version is nicer than the instrumental, whereas in Akaneiro’s case, it’s the other way around. I guess it’s because I didn’t think the vocal for Akaneiro Sentimental quite fitted with its instruments. Plus, same reason with Mizu no Wakusei, the violin is more evident. Instrumentals do not have vocal backup.

All in all, Nagareboshi is better than JUST TUNE to me; both in song and SINGLE-wise.

Lyrics:

JUST TUNE: Kanji, Romaji & English @ gendou ; Nagareboshi: Kanji & Romaji @ gendou ; Akaneiro Sentimental & Inori: Romaji @ this link

Sorry for I didn’t get to find Nagareboshi’s English translation. ;_;. Most likely someone would upload to gendou sooner or later, neh. Below are the links for the songs from esnips. Couldn’t find Mizu no Wakusei and Inori. Imeem is currently having problems to load too…

JUST TUNE ; Nagareboshi ; Akaneiro Sentimental

I hope you enjoyed the song. ^_~
