I'm like "oh Suzuki Airi's new single is here" and I'm still humming on
her major debut song
lol hey what can I say that song was great I reviewed it too last year I liked
that one. *giggles* Oh well, let's see if this can update my impression of
her.
This was on the mailbox last night when I saw my dad open it (lol oops) and
apparently it can fit in there but there is no way I could have done that AND
published a post yesterday *wink*, so here we are a day later with another
Klassic Note Review! Hey, we almost got a post each day for this week. Almost.
Still, I feel like this will be a thing to talk about a month later, so let's
get to it!
音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Suzuki Airi - heart notes [Single]
Limited Edition | Regular Edition |
(Oh come on, artist cover art for sure Suzuki Airi is a beauty who even cares
about Shinomiya Kaguya)
Origin: Well, it has been a long time coming, but to be honest, this might be
her last time coming. With the end of Anime series "Kaguya-sama" and her from
being featured in the Anime opening theme song with "Anison's newbie artist"
Suzuki Masayuki to now singing her own songs with her major label debut which
we have reviewed a year ago, and now this. She has come a long way as long as
the Anime series itself. As I ponder how these artists can hit me time and
time again, I then realized I got tired quickly of the opening theme but focus
myself more on the insert and ending theme songs which is where this Suzuki
here comes in. With one last chance to impress, she puts forth an emotional
song for us to remember.
[1] heart notes
From first chorus:
"Always as lost (as I am)(I) chanced upon (you)All of this becameOnly (of) my very own feelingsMy heart notesThe sweetness and bitterness(I) will embrace it allAll of it"
How should I feel about this... firstly, emotional. It represented the end of
the Anime series it was credited in, so of course we will feel that way. But
more importantly, was what I came out feeling listening to it. The lyrics
spell an easy tale of company, in the form of synchronization of heartbeats of
sorts and thus the song title and as it was mentioned throughout the song,
it's a song of strong feels as it is of a confession. To be with and accept
all that they are without holding back, it draws similarities with the
conclusion of the animation itself, and you can take my word for that. The
melody is an easy-listening tune without much quirks, and of course suffers
from the usual bridge issues in this case for being rather long in my opinion,
but that is very typical of Anime theme songs, so I am not going to complain.
Enough to please, not enough to remember, would be my impression.
Rating: Touchingly Average
Conclusion: This is just a single-track single to rip me off, and that is
though the harshest thing I can say, I have given quite a lot of thought about
how to like this. It is still a great emotional ballad I can't deny its
greatness, but as much as it has proven its worth, it did not touch my heart
more over the Anime it was featured in. Nonetheless, I still think this was
worth a listen, and fans of the series will appreciate this as being the
conclusion of what was romance.

THE PACKAGE
Okay relax, don't be too surprised by this, this is not a
buy-her-single-get-a-stack-of-whoever-that-is-bromides kind of offer (lol),
but thanks to CDJapan's proxy shopping service and my failure of getting the
latter into the package I'm shipping in soon basically next week hehe, so I
had to add it to this since in this case, they could get the product for me.
So ignoring that!! *laughs* Let's talk about how awesome this solo artist's
physical packaging of just a single song is, shall we?
For the special bonus though, I chose to take the same one from all the other
stores (which should have been
an extra sticker
of the cover but I guess not?) instead of any of the usual ones like
Animate
or
Amazon Japan
since the bonus is actually a selection of
three random photos (plus one rare but we don't talk about our chances at that lol)
regardless of your purchase from which store and also for the above reason,
but also that not like the others are exactly that great or is worth an
incentive to make me get them through other places considering the charges, so
don't mind me if I'm just taking a simple bromide photo of Suzuki Airi
here. I mean, I got two of these and NONE of Kanno Mai?? I'm a disgrace
lmao
It's all solo artists, huh. I could've dumped in
Fuchigami Mai's new single
if hers isn't Limited Edition only which I have stated I will never simp on
solo artist music video Blu-Rays haha good for me on keeping this record
going, but that is what happens I will just miss some of these. You can blame
my 2013 self for skipping that one miwa single back then for all this.
*giggles* Anyways, hopefully we can get more mainstream listens in here soon
but unlikely haha, I can actually make a statement about how much I love
Japanese women singing. *silence* See you then. *laughs*
P.S. IRL update lol because I will say it tomorrow again, just Kanno Mai
Instagram live is a joy. You should watch it live someday. *giggles* It's like
a long distance call with my not girlfriend, dude. *laughs*
