Tales… (bonus track)
1. Starry Heavens
We begin this mini-album with a dat track which kind of beats the purpose of a “just-only misono” song. I continue to not find anything that’s really special about this song, but I guess since it is the bands most well-known track, I can’t argue with that. misono does sound pretty good overall and I quite like the fact that she isn’t screaming her head off.
2. Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto
Oddly enough this was my first song that I ever heard from day after tomorrow and misono, so I’ve easily fell in love with it. Why it wasn’t an A-side surprises me (which by the way this was a B-side from “lost angel). Now this is a pretty sweet track borderlining epic because misono is just right for the song and I love the guitar riffs in the verses and the after chorus. I have to say one of my favorite songs from them.
3. VS
Then we leave dat for misono’s solo songs and VS is up first. Everyone states that there hasn’t been anything quite that good in misono’s career since this song, which is actually false because there’s others. VS was a pretty nice debut overall and she sang it with pretty good vocals compared to “end=START” which I’ll agree her vocals are not as good as they are here. I really like this track and its accompanying PV.
3. Lovely♥Cat’s Eye
Whee, the cat song comes up next and I really don’t see how this track got a tie-in through the Tales series. Like “VS”, this track has some very exciting moments and I love the chorus to death since it’s all loud and all the various cat moments made the song even better. I do hear some guys voice in the background during the 2nd bridge…I never heard that…well whichever, this song is still good.
5. Ninin Sankyaku
The only song to actually have Tales in the PV, Ninin Sankyaku was a breath of fresh air in the second era because this was just damn good and I was happy to hear something epic. I really love the after-chorus where she’s backed away from the microphone, that was just too cool misono! Still, this track was just a great song to represent the games and it shows.
6. Tales…
OH!, here as a bonus is a new track from misono…Though as I listen along to the song it actually screams day after tomorrow especially comparing the arrangement against “Ninin Sankyaku” Actually, looking at it, it might be an unused song from the group because misono does sound a bit younger and the song sounds a little aged. The song though sounds like a mix of the mehness of “Starry Heavens” and guitar moments of “Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto”. That’s not good thing either, since the track is pretty boring still. Oh well, but I really do think it’s an unreleased dat track.
misono’s first best-of doesn’t exactly scream NEED TO BUY, but it’s a good collection of songs from the Tales series. I do think misono’s solo stuff outshines the dat stuff and that shows that misono is doing better sounding off as a solo artist rather than being in a group….(imagine if misono was still in dat, it’d be like GND). The new track was different, but y’know give credit where it’s due….it’s a dat track xD
