[Single] Tomiko Van - Yumeji

Friday, October 10, 2008

 



Yumeji is Tomiko Van's third single. It was released at November 29, 2006. It peaked on #14 at Oricon Weekly Chart by selling 9,646 copies of single in total.

Finally, Tomiko delights us with a ballad, Yumeji. I really love her vocal here. It's really beautiful. In contrast, i have to express a great dislike to the strings in the chorus. To be honest, it's very rare to me to dislike string arrangement in a song, like in the choruses of this song. It didn't match Tomiko's vocal at all. Actually, my perception of this song will change greatly if the arranger split the arrangement between violin and the other ones.
Arrangement: B | Music: B | Vocal: A++


Yeah, now she presents us groovy song (again), labyrinth. Uniquely, this song is a fusion between jazz and rock. I really enjoy this song. Tomiko's vocal is really cool to hear. Recommended for someone who love groovy jazz song!
Arrangement: A | Music: A+ | Vocal: A


Favourite track: labyrinth (B-side hattrick! XP)
Conclusion:
Yumeji, actually, is also a cool single. Yumeji is her best ballad up-to-date (vocally XP). Futhermore, it's also because the B-side has affected here. I really hope that she will include ALL of her B-sides to her upcoming album this December.



Overall, i give the score [92/A-] for this single.
