Salley - Akai Kutsu [Single] Review

Tracklist:

1. 赤い靴 (Akai Kutsu)
2. Call
3. Down by the Salley Gardens

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. 赤い靴 (Akai Kutsu)

 The title track starts off with a very nice acoustic opening from guitarist Urara and from that point, on It's all uphill.The song is very upbeat without being whiny. J-popish without being too cute. In other words, it makes for a very good anime ending which it is for "Toriko".

2. Call

My favorite track on the entire single. As stated before, the guitarist has found his niche and quickly plays off his strengths for a solid track. The intro is very  appealing and memorable. I can bet you 5 Itunes dollars that you will be singing "Baby, Kimi Ni" by the end of this song.

3. Down by the Salley Gardens

The slowest song on the single. This track is actually a simple acoustic song. No flashy J-pop stunt work, just singer Kohei lulling you to sleep. It should be noted that Down by the Salley Gardens is an Irish Poem and was also the inspiration for the naming of this band too.
