1. Kioku no Hikari
I was kind of worried about the quality of this single, because Kokia had three releases in the last two months, but on the contrary, it completely blew me away. The whole thing sounds exactly like something only Yuki Kaijura's magical talent at songwriting could of composed. Even her voice sounded like Kalafina O__o
Aside from that, the song is in the same spirit as her previous single, ie. epic, fantasy RPG-like music, and it's pretty long, with 6 minutes, but doesn't get boring even for a moment.
Rating: 10
2. Where to go my love (single ver.)
If the previous song was epic, then this must be anti-epic. It sounds like a usual pop-ballad, except it's really slow. Fortunately, the instrumentals save the track, being very relaxing and calm, especially at the first few minutes, with only a piano and some strings. Unless you don't listen to this song 5-10 times, the distinction between verses and the chorus is almost nonexistent, and you'll either listen it as a piece of classical music, or a boring, dull song. When summed up, definitely not on the same level as the A-side.
Rating: 6
Wow, the spring anime season hasn't even started yet, and we've already got a piece of great music on our hands (at least the A-side, if not the second track). If all songs will be good like this, then I can't wait for the episodes to start rolling. My overall rating for this release is: 8
The comment box doesn't bite ; be polite when feeding it, though
