The wonderful Japanese Singer and Songwriter released her 5th studio album, How Crazy Your Love on November 2nd, 2011. As always, most major album or singles releases also come in either a regular edition or possibly a limited edition. What make’s this blog special will be the content on the special. The complete Hong Kong show with this past the summer months are included together with a short documentary showcasing her quantity of Hong Kong.
The album begins with Hello!, the theme song for Paradise Kiss released come early july. This upbeat track is a superb way to start the 5th album in an instant and really sets a bad for what is always to come. Separation is catchy soft rock song. I personally found the chorus somewhat of a let down than the rest of the track. Get Back Home follows and it's also a mid tempo’d ballad. As always, YUI’s voice is excellent on these soft ballads, the lead guitar and piano tracks really jump out here. Lock On could be the “lead song” with this album as it would be the opening theme for your jDrama, Kaito Royale. What stands out could be the very catchy chorus in addition to the trumpets conducive into it. The next track that follows is U-niform. In my mind, it was kind of a dissatisfied. It features upbeat acoustic guitars, and almost brings back the classic YUI feel from her debut. Cooking may be the next track. This song features a heavy affect string instruments, associated with YUI’s soft vocals, its quite the tune. A up beat pop rock track follows the ballads in RAIN. This song, released to be a single this season is catchy. I personally love this song a great deal. An interlude provides for us a break. This track titled Goodnight can be a short piano ballad. The next track will be the b-side incorporated with the Hello single titled YOU. I personally not much of a big fan in this song, but YUI’s voice really shines here. It’s My Life follows. This was an individual from recording. Its an exceptionally upbeat track having a heavy SKA influence! I really take pleasure in the brass instruments which are featured here as it truely does work very well using the song. No Reason is an excellent upbeat pop song here. Nobody Knows may be the second last track about this album and it also does the job being a great soft rock tune. To end the album, Green A.Live is chosen because the last track, and that is her last single.
The DVD content as said from the intro would be the complete concert from Hong Kong trapped on tape. What I can tell is that YUI’s singing has greatly improved over time. Already, you are able to tell that performance was high quality. I personally believe that show was much better than the one featured in the Hotel Holidays from the Sun live DVD released recording.
To end, this album is solid, and intensely shows that YUI’s music is evolving using the times. She again finds new approaches to incorporate different styles and sounds into her music to supply her a fresh voice. The exclusive edition content is well worth the price of the album alone!
