Never heard of RSP before ( apparently its an abbreviation for Real Street Project ) but after I finished listening to the latest (22nd ?) Bleach Ending Theme (for the umpteenth time), I finally decided that I like the song hahaha ^^ I don’t really like the theme songs for Bleach a lot, exceptions would be Ichirin no Hana, Houki Boshi, err… Shoujo S ( hated it on my first listen ) and of course YUI’s LIFE… so when a song joins the list, then it must be a pretty ok song =)
Checked their discography and they’ve actually released quite a bit of Albums/Singles… might gonna give them a listen, I have a feeling that they’re going to sound similar to AAA though for some reason ;P

This month is an awesome month for releases (o.O)
On a side note, why’s that synth line in the intro sounds like Kana Nishino’s Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara ??

They’re BAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKK ~!!!!
It’s been a while since I liked any of ikimono-gakari’s songs, although I loved every single song they sung back in the early days.. like Uruwashiki Hito (recommended), HANABI (Bleach ED tie in – totally recommended), Seishun Line (LIVE Perf) and more and more ;D – I didn’t really like JOYFUL/YELL though strangely – because they did really well in the charts.
These two A-side tracks are theme songs for a movie with the same title as the 2nd track, Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo / The Girl Who Leapt Through Time ( See Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo Real-Life Movie Trailer ).
Apparently its an adaptation from a novel, and an anime movie counterpart has been produced awhile ago. ( See Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo Anime Trailer ) – I’m fortunate enough to have watched it, and I have to say its a really good movie =) you definitely have to give it a go !

I’m not really familiar with this AAA group, but I’ve started to notice them since I heard their last single, Hide Away. The PV for Hide Away is really not to my liking since it kinda make them look like a dance group with 2 vocalists instead of a vocal group with 7 members…. but heck, it sounded alright. I also think that they sound a bit like move ?
Anyways – I was looking up some new songs and came across this particular one, and was instantly hooked up! It’s a great sounding ballad that I never would’ve thought I’d hear from them – a nice surprise. I might have to check their discography, I might’ve missed some stuff similar to this. If you’re an AAA fan and know of some songs you want to recommend, please do so in the comments section!
Also, I don’t know if its just me, but I think the piano part at the very beginning sounds like BoA’s Everlasting ;P

Wahooooo it’s Chigusa from Battle Royale !!! ( or GoGo Yubari from Kill Bill, for those of you that haven’t watched Battle Royale yet, shame on you! ) hahaha she would be the 2nd girl after Mitsuko Souma ( Shibasaki Kou ) from the movie that tests the waters in the music industry – and I have to say she did pretty well for her debut – this song is also a theme song for the newly released anime, Mobile Suit Gundam : Unicorn.
All the facts aside, the PV is…. uhh… really showcasing her “physical” attributes I guess. Gets a bit boring, but I guess the purpose is to burn the image of her to her listeners / viewers that CHiAKi KURiYAMA sings as well and not only acts…. maybe ? ;P
Anyhoo, give this one a listen. Personally I’ll rate it 3 out of 5 – but being a theme song for Gundam, I expect this single to at least be in the Top 10 Oricon Chart after its released ( which is today ) lol
Also on a side note, what’s up with the Capital / Non-capital writing style nowadays… (=.=) its making stuff harder to read, if anything. Anyone else agree with me ?
