still doll (Orgel Version)
1. still doll
OMG, this is one creepy song. It starts out with the Cello that Kanon plays and I must say, she’s really gifted at it too. Then some xylophone playing comes in. Then a synth sound and Kanon comes in saying ~Hi, Miss Alice~ That right there sent a shiver down my spine. Like some of the other reviews I read it’s hard to decipher the chorus…then again who’s really paying attention because after the chorus Kanon shows off her cello skills and wow! When she plays it on the PV it’s so well done and she’s acting as if her cello is her life support. Wow, what a good tune and great start.
2. Kuroi Torikago
Wow, this is more faster and yet still keeps the creepiness going on. There’s a lot more synth this time around too. Kanon does sound a lot stronger in this song too. It does have a ballroom sound which is definitly pleasant to my ears. Kinda bummed that it was shorter than “still doll”. Either way, I think it was a great B-Side, but not better than the A-Side.
3. still doll (Orgel Version)
Wow, they made the title song even more creepy by erasing the whole song and using a musicbox to use the melody which was totally awesome here. Funniest thing is when it stops and a person had to turn the knob on the box right before the 1st chorus. Great ending to a single….BTW it reminds me more of “Marionette -prelude-” from Ayumi Hamasaki…then again, I can see this also being a prelude to “Marionette” also how odd is that?
So how was Kanon’s debut? Wow, creepiest debut if you ask me. Mana from Malice Mizer produced the single also, which surprised me, I kinda thought…hmmmm I wonder if Gackt likes this single as well also. Still I was impressed by this single, and it’s not like any other released singles thus far.
