Ai no Serifu
1. Kagerou
Well, we do have to have another ballad since this is Chihiro we’re talking about. Being the 3rd A-side as a ballad, Kagerou does fall up short to both “Hotaru” & “Kaerimichi wo Nakushite”. It is a bit more uptempo and Chihiro is sounding nice as usual. It does oddly sound familiar to “Last Melody” which was released earlier in the year, so I have to say it is the weakest A-side of the four.
2. Ai no Serifu
However, Ai no Serifu is rather upbeat which is a nice contrast on the single (then again it’s been like this the whole era). I actually love her attitude in the song and how she starts off is pretty sexy if you ask me. It might not be totally original as it sounds like “BACK DOOR” from her debut single and I’m sitting here and enjoying her more raspier vocals here. Fitting B-side.
Chihiro’s final single of the “DOROTHY” era, Kagerou oddly disappointed me this time around. After three great A-sides, Kagerou just doesn’t compare with any of those songs. It’s just a normal Chihiro ballad. Ai no Serifu was a great song to hear since we haven’t had an happier upbeat song from her in a while.
