Happy Days
1. Waratte Waratte
Of course, we’d get another ballad from Hanako as an A-side. Unlike the previous two A-sides, this is more catered to the simple ballad sound. That’s basically piano, strings and Hanako singing. Actually it might be a bit too much like her last A-side “Anata ni Suki to Iwaretai” as they are both simple ballads, nothing more, nothing less and that’s probably why I think this song is a bit boring for me.
2. Bokutachi ni Dekiru Koto
Here we go again, we are basically going the same route as we did with the last single. I’m going to guess that the next song is going to be in an upbeat sort of nature. I’m honestly even more bored when she sings this B-side. It sounds emotionally more happier than the previous track, but you can’t really tell with Hanako’s idol-like vocals. They are a bit of a nuisance really.
3. Happy Days
Yup, I was right when I said the 2nd B-side was going to be an upbeat track. Including the synth this time around made the song sound so much more eventful. I’ll say it though, she’s carrying a happy mood here as well and I quite like it…then again it would’ve be better if it was a cover of Ai Otsuka’s A-side. The version I have skips, so I prolly missed something important, but it’s still a good track.
Hanako finishes the “BIRTHDAY” era with basically a carbon copy of “Anata ni Suki to Iwaretai”. I have the exact same feelings that I did with that single so I’ll put it in short…Waratte Waratte = alright, Bokutachi ni Dekiru Koto = boring, Happy Days = fun
