[Single] Tomiko Van - Senkou

Friday, October 10, 2008

 


This is Tomiko Van's second single, which was released at September 27, 2006. It peaked at #14 on the Oricon Weekly Chart by selling 13,860 copies of single in total. The A-side song was used as the commercial song for the ringtone service site mu-mo, and for music.jp TV-CF.


Senkou, clearly, is a rock song. Unlike her previous one, this song has a better sound. This song has more DAI flair. I simply love the keyboard which balances the heavy rock in the chorus, bridge and outtro. Her vocal is also better than she usually did in Do As Infinity, less harsh and strain in the higher notes.
Arrangement: A- | Music: A- | Vocal: A


We move to groovy Mosaic now. This song use same instruments like in the previous track did. But, it's more relaxing and like i said, groovy. Tomiko's vocal is also at the relaxing side. Personally, i enjoy this song more than its A-side.
Arrangement: A | Music: A | Vocal: A+



Favourite track: Mosaic
Conclusion:
Musically, this single may have a quality step down compared to Tomiko's past work in Do As Infinity. But, i can't hide a fact that this is an awesome single. I'll probably buy her upcoming album, Van, this December. I really have to wait!

Overally, the score for this single is [94/A]
