Arigatou ~I miss you~ (Instrumental)
1. KONAYUKI
Wait, we’re getting our first winter-like track in October? Whatever. It’s rather unfortunate the song doesn’t really make Ayumi stand out at all. I mean it’s the typical wintry R&B song and even then there’s not much of the typical bells that come with it, so I guess it’s good in that respect. I’m just not feeling this track as much as “Yokogao”.
2. Arigatou ~I miss you~
Damn, too many artists naming songs Arigatou…I was happy to see that Arigatou was more connected as a winter tune and it has a dance beat included with it’s relaxing piano arrangement. I don’t know why the song is just so good and is ridiculously catchy. I initially thought we were going to end up with another unneeded ballad, but she gave it a nice dance touch and is one of the better tracks of the era.
While this single is no “STRONG BODY”, KONAYUKI is rather cut out nicely to be the 4th single released. The problem though was that KONAYUKI was more or less a typical winter/R&B track that it’s just painful to listen to. Arigatou is what saved the single from mediocrity and it’s so obvious with the interesting combination she pulled off for it. ALBUM PLZ!
