1. lost angel
lost angel began pretty differently than their previous efforts with strings and a darker touch than normal dat. That is before Misato (guitarist) comes in with a harder drive than normal. Even misono gives a pretty good performance as well and Daisuke plays 2nd fiddle in the song. Then after a while it seems like the song isn’t really going anywhere and has the same rhythms going on. Yeah, I really started to get tired of it pretty quickly.
2. Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto
However, Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto is leagues better than “lost angel”. For one thing it’s tie-in with the Tales… series is already one good point for them since “Starry Heavens” was also a tie-in through the series. I really love Misato’s guitar riffs all over the song and could be one of his best tracks. Even Daisuke (keyboardist) plays a bit more broader here and mixed with misono, they really made an epic track to begin the era off. Makes me wonder why this wasn’t the A-side in the first place.
3. more than a million miles
Oh the lulz factor. This track had a tie-in to the movie “Day After Tomorrow” and hey what’s the name of the band? Already from the start you can feel the melancholic sound and oddly enough an acoustic one at that. Everyone knows misono can’t do ballads, especially as of late, but I really like this track and misono isn’t horrible which is a first. Best ballad of misono, probably.
dat begins their final era with lost angel, but seriously the title track is pretty meh and overshadowed by both of its fellow B-sides. Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto is catchy, spunky and full of dat power which is great and is one of their best B-sides. more than a million miles was also great and showed off misono in a ballad in a good light. Pretty good way to begin the era (minus the A-side)
