Well we are near the end of the month right now almost a month since this
single released so I still hope it's relevant haha the only thing relevant is
the delay and this appearing before the upcoming album lol
Hey, and welcome back. Didn't expect this to take this long, this could not
have been part 2 for May since this released the last day of that month, so we
are doing it the following month. Just, you know, didn't say when to do it so
I might as well go on a shopping spree for a month, yes? Not like I can apply
for the special bonus with the paper INSIDE of the CD, isn't it? Ironically
it's longer though, 2 weeks long compared to the weekend of release date
normally haha someone's being generous over here? No point I guess lmao
If you do not understand anything I said above that's fine, because I hope you
like Anime songs!! It has been a while since I talked about more considering
this is so typical of that genre, so let's!
音楽 The Klassic Note Review
TrySail - Karei One Turn / Follow You! [Single]
|
|
|
| Limited Edition | Regular Edition | Anime Limited Edition |
(Well, thanks for not close-up anyways, not like the 3 of them can fit in
close enough but the Regular Edition is coming up tops as usual)
Origin: Well well, what have we got here? If you would recall of Anime group
trio TrySail from last year, we have once again chanced upon an Anime release
I would love to talk about, though less relevant as I did not watch the
series, but at the least I know them well. Specifically of the girls in this
idol group from MusicRay'n though, we should be familiar with voice actresses
(from left to right of cover art) Natsukawa Shiina in yellow, Asakura Momo in
pink and Amamiya Sora in blue, where they display their cutest and/or coolest
for Anime and beyond. This time around, thanks to the gamer-oriented Anime
series they were credited for, and ironically featured in its two opening
theme songs thus the call for a double A-side release, they are here to convey
the transition between the alternate world's game addiction to potential
immersion and even confession in the loveliest way possible.
(1) Karei One Turn [Gorgeous One Turn]
From first verse:
"Stress (is a) big enemy! (Let's eat) chocolate, potato chips, beef bowl (to destress)Piling up mouthfuls for motivation!... Also blew away the sense of guilt(I have) done it again... Oh well whatever"
This should get the attention of many on the first time you hear it, but for
my case maybe it's really me understanding the lyrics too well, but the gamer
talk in the lyrics about SSR and turns and levelling up sure is aggravating as
it is also super relevant to the Anime credit it was in, so I cannot even
complain to say the least. I ended up liking the pop beats in this song, the
melody is better than the Anime usual which is nice, their usual fast tempo in
singing is also exhibited here among other things from the different
vocalists, it's overall a nice song to listen to. If you don't even get the
lyrics then all the more this will appeal to you, not to say the appeal of the
Anime series to the young masses in the first place. The music video expands
this even further, making the girls look their part for the credit. Girl
gamers, but cuter.
Rating: Playfully Average
(2) Follow You!
From main chorus:
"Oh My God!(Am I) not cute at all, sorry for being too strong pulling (you) awayThis is (a) misunderstanding... no, correct answer because (our) combined answer is the future; Follow You!"
As usual, the other side is probably what got me more into this release in the
first place. On first impression, this is definitely a more palatable piece,
with a simpler melody despite a longer bridge part which is typical, and more
relevant lyrics as the Anime takes a turn for romance in the second half of
the series, changing the mood from hyper to somewhat sweet even romantic, and
I can't stop saying nice things about it in the lyrics. I guess listening to
this over time, I can never get over the extra notes on every other line of
the melody which is typical of Anime songs today to distinguish themselves
apart, but I still think this is a decent song that I will like over time. The
lyrics just sing to me of someone who desire company I assume with relation to
playing video games, but still. It's something to be embarrassed about, and
that is what makes of a good love song, isn't it?
Rating: Lovingly Below Average
Conclusion: This is quite a single I have heard from TrySail for quite a
while, last time being exactly a year ago with an Anime that I watched. Even
then, this single delivers in its unique message of gamer talk with cute girl
singing voices, so it will appeal to the male audience much easier than ever
despite not being under a strong Anime series credit. If you aren't interested
in the Anime like me, then this is still a wonderful single, combining all the
hype about pop songs and adding some spice into it, this is easily a
recommendation to listen to outside from the mainstream.

(I sound harsh, isn't it? Haha I gotta say initial impressions aren't great so
I'm writing that out. A month later though... I actually love these songs
because they are so different from everything I'm listening this month
already, I cannot ask for anything better *giggles* Unrelated you think my
video game-loving
imouto Nan-chan
is triggered by the lyrics in the songs? *laughs*)
THE PACKAGE
|
| The moment I knew, buying from a different store was worth all the effort (and money) |
I hinted earlier I got this under a huge package and it's also the reason why
this took so long, but heck, you can read that on another post, we will talk
about specifically just the physical music release here!
As you can see, it's the usual fanfare of CD plus special gift
bromide photo
with the only exception that this time around, I opted for an online store I
otherwise could not buy from directly, so thanks
TSUTAYA ONLINE SHOPPING for giving this gift to me featuring the artist image I really did not
intend to buy a used one through auction house. *giggles* Otherwise, you would
be glad to know this is the best on the list of photos I have seen, but you
know, other ones exist like
Animate
(which I bought used lmao),
HMV Japan
because Nan-chan is cute hehe,
7-Net Shopping
or even
Rakuten Books
are also fine.
In addition, and since I hinted (lol) in the intro I will explain in detail
here, normally (because it's related to MusicRay'n) they would rather prefer
you to pre-order the releases, get them shipped to you within the week from
the release date of Tuesday which is one day before the actual referred to as
"Flag
Day", and because the application window is smaller it's meant to target these
fans, but I assume maybe considering this is a end of month release and they
are being generous(?), the application window has been extended to one month
later ie. end of the month ie. a day after this review, so I'm lucky to have
caught on. I just wish I can win something over here I opted for the bromide
set because see previous post lmao because damn I will never hang a huge
poster in my room *looks at Moeshi calendar* nor do I need a
tote bag for
anything else since I literally bought one- It's nice to have constraints,
huh. Well, for bromides there is no limit I'll buy as many photo albums to
house them *dabs*
Well, that's all. Hopefully I will spend more time on this blog today and
tomorrow (that table on the previous post took me a lot of time tbh) to also
push out more posts for Klassic Note I have one more #KN15YEARS post I want to
do, and then we will dive into the new season of Anime this weekend!
P.S. It's idolism I gotta show more haha you're welcome this is from the
booklet
