Kaerimichi (Instrumental)
1. Sakuranbo
Well, It starts out floral sounding, I guess that’s what you call it. This is also one of Ai’s trademark “Cute” songs, which fit her voice almost perfectly. Everytime I hear the bridge, I keep thinking “Happy Days” which isn’t a bad thing persay. There’s another version of it sounding more rock, which I like better, but this is kind of the fun version. The instrumentation is also fitting for a song like this too.
2. Kaerimichi
Welcome to the farm! I swear after the finger snapping, we get some whistling, and then comes the wooden blocks, which create a laidback, on the farm feeling. Ai in this tune sounds great throughout which is definitly a good thing. The only thing I could really find is that it’s a long song clocking a little over 5 minutes and the last few seconds of the song she’s ~La, la, la-ing, which sounds a bit off. But, why pay attention? It’s a nice song to just tap your foot a long with.
3. Momo no Hanabira (Studio Live ver.)
What’s to say? It’s her 1st single redone practically, Ai continues to sound great and to tell you the truth, she sounds better than the single. Anyway they made more of a ballad this time around, it still does get kinda annoying with her repeating the same words, either way, better as a ballad.
Ai’s 2nd single Sakuranbo, was definitly a hit for a reason, we had Sakuranbo which is her fun side, Kaerimichi, which covers her laidback side, and a remake of her 1st single. I actually enjoyed this single a lot, and I was kinda disappointed that Kaerimichi didn’t make the final cut. i’ll live though. Still, great single all-around!
