CHANIWA / TOONRIDE 1FYA 2FRECKLES & THE SUN 3Mr.ORDINARY 4SAIGAN FEAR 5Sunset Glow ~THE SUNSET GLOW~ NEVER GOOD ENOUGH / MY LAST EXCUSE… Their 1st single, released just two years after the band formed, is from Chiba. This album, which opens with the title track and their representative song, has a sense of dynamism and momentum due to their youth, but it can be said that their charm is compactly condensed in this work. There are some movements in the bass in the intro of the first song, but the overall composition and arrangement are very simple. However, the reason why it is established as their unique sound is largely due to the melody combined with the light rhythm. The vocals are not necessarily good, but the melody sung in a high-pitched, slightly raspy, and thin voice is a mass of melancholy, and the difference in the vocal qualities of the two vocalists means that their sound is already established at this stage. Especially the title track and the third song are in opposite positions, but they can be called masterpieces.
