Hoshikuzu (Instrumental)
1. Happy Days
Hmmmm? This is definitly rockin’! Ai starts in a megaphone sound though she keeps it until the most unusual chorus. ~Ha-ppy Days, ugh!!!~. This is her second of her many crazy songs. I definitly enjoy the bridge though, the chorus is just uber sugary. The guitar solo is definitly nice, kinda reminds me of Jun Senoue’s work AKA Sonic the Hedgehog’s series. Ahhhh…this is just wild!
2. Hoshikuzu
Then it’s led to a soft ballad, kinda of a mood swing isn’t it? I kinda found myself bored with this ballad actually, though all it is really is piano and acousitc guitar. It does eventually gather some momentum. It’s kind of like “Always Together” from her 1st album, that it eventually gets stronger and becomes a powerful ballad, still not in the likes of her more known ballads. It’s an airght ballad.
Ai Otsuka’s 1st single for the “LOVE JAM” era is a very mood swinging one. 1st you got the craziness of Happy Days while on the other hand you got the soft-spoken Hoshikuzu so the single is mostly what your mood at the moment is. Though Hoshikuzu doesn’t go on the main album it still has points for me because it’s an Ai ballad. so your decision to get this single
