1. Matataku Hoshi no Moto de
Off with a powerful intro, the song is a mix of rock and anison, with some bells and strings. Moreover, that creates an optimistic and uplifting atmosphere, tied with a catchy melody. We don't often see J-Rock groups do something outside their own style, but this was an excellent song, which I greatly enjoyed listening to.
Rating: 9
2. Gokujo Landing
This track has a more oriental sound and is richer with different instruments that the previous one, but still has the same happy atmosphere. As it plays, the song gets faster and faster, with even some 8-bit electronic sounds thrown in. The vocals don't fail to deliver here, either, so I think i'll keep listening to this even after the review.
Rating: 7
3. Mukaiawase
Switching from the Turkish style native to Magi, we get a more traditional Japanese arrangement. It's really relaxing and refreshing, but a bit too long, being almost six minutes. Though the song itself is good, P. Graffitti's vocalist sounds bland and unmemorable here.
Rating: 7
I enjoyed listening to this single, so I hope Magi will get some more good opening themes like this. My overall rating for this release is: 7.7.
The comment box doesn't bite ; be polite when feeding it, though.
