You've been here all day,
@otenkiame (7,5), so why don't you just spill already? "You know it's an R&B track when those water drop sounds come up. Kuu uses a cuter tone without overdoing it, and the results are nice. It's just a pleasant listen all the way through." HA! True though, the probability of waterdrop sounds rises if it's R'n'B. Speaking of waterdrops,
@Weslicious (6) is having a bit of a trouble, "The dripping noise in this makes me want to pee. Soz." Wasn't it like for just 10 seconds in the beginning? I honestly never payed attention.
Speaking of the minuscule things to cling to, some of you were trying to find at least something to hate about this. Like
@Empty Shoebox who decided to be the lowest scorer just because there is a bit of vocoder in the first 15 seconds of the song, "That vocal manipulation. I'm not sure what you call it, but I know I don't like it." Okay, but what about the rest of the song? The vocoder bothered
@vague (7,5) as well, "this sounds very sweet without being too saccharine, which i appreciate. i think the vocoder is not needed, tho, and it detracts from the sweetness for me a bit. her ad-libs are a bit much, too." YEAAAAAH FOR YOUUUUUUU~
@Squashua (7) found this to be too long, "Deceptively lovely but also about a minute/40 seconds longer than it needs to be (something i've noticed in a number of the songs across this rate)." What does "deceptively lovely" mean? It's actually not? Also, I don't think there is such thing as "too much of a good song", hmm. Meanwhile
@TABOO (7) agreed with my critics, "What I like about this song is how gentle and sweet it is. The chorus is something that definitely entangles itself into your mind. I just wish it developed into something a little more whole, as it comes and goes without reaching a true climax." The chorus is indeed an earworm though. A rare comment from
@Remorque (6) leaves me confused, "This one actually pales somewhat in comparis with
Yume no Uta. And having two ballads after each other wasn't the best option, methinks..." But like... those are different.
Yume no Uta is a power ballad, while
Tsuki to Taiyou is an R'n'B mid-tempo. Oh well, we all know that Kumi was never for the nicely structured tracklists.
Next on the agenda are our high scorers. As with
@Remorque , we get a rare sighting of
@Eskiath, "Really sweet, one of my favourite Kumi ballads." Well, it's something. Thank you,
@Eskiath. Maybe
@yuuurei (8) has some thought provoking claims about this one? "Repetitive, but a very sweet little song." Sigh... guess it is that kind of song, huh? Elsewhere
@RUNAWAY shows... his inexperience, "I fell in love with this song on my drives but couldn’t remember what it was because of the japanese title. I’m so glad I rediscovered it. It’s so sweet." Happy for you, hun, but please cram for our "Koda Kumi's kanji titles" exam, which is on Wednesday.
We finish off with
@ThisIsRogue, who almost gave this his 11! "This song is so fucking gorgeous. I am a sucker for a cute acoustic guitar riff and it's pretty exceptional here. Kuu's vocal is also quite beautiful." I'm really happy that you enjoy this so much, hun.
