1. Be your wings

GIRL NEXT DOOR finally got things right with Be your wings.  It does have a dark sounding arrangement, but containing the same GND that’s been going on for a long time.  I do enjoy the song  lot more than previous tracks and could be the 2nd best of the era “Infinity” topping this completely.  I’m still wondering why they’re making CHISA yell through these songs, especially since her collaboration with ravex was amazing.  Best part of the song is that bridge….LOVE IT!

2. FRIENDSHIP

I was wondering what the otwo A-sides were going to sound like and FRIENDSHIP from the starting chords in the main arrangement screamed “Guuzen no Kakuritsu”.  I’m not liking the chorus at all in this song and the song itself sounds a little rushed even for GND terms.  Maybe I’ll come to like it, but the song is a big mess right now.

3. Wait for you

Strangely enough, the 3rd A-side screams day after tomorrow and in a pretty good way.  Even though it has the typical sound, there’s a bit more interesting things and heavier beats here.  Being a bit more slower than the other two, this was an alright song, but I feel the dat nod is a bit much in the song and CHISA doesn’t really give that good of a performance.

4. Jounetsu no Daishou (Ferry Corsten Remix)

Oh wow, a Ferry Corsten remix?  I do love my Ferry songs so it isn’t surprising that I really enjoyed this remix.  Instead of those other remixes GND has put out this is more of a trance remix than the others.  Add a little ambient and we get this.  The heavy beats and smooth synths really filled out the track.  Even CHISA’s parts are sounding a whole lot better here.  I’m pretty sure people will bag it for its length, but seriously Ferry remixes are better longer (cept Ayu’s “Connected”) that’s one exception.

 

 

I wonder if this is the last single of the era….Anyways, out of the three singles, this one is in the middle.  I’ll admit that Be your wings is typical, but is a great song from them despite that.  FRIENDSHIP and Wait for you are alright, but there’s some glaring faults within each track being too similar to something…then again Ghas always been like that from their debut to now.
