[Single] YUI - Tomorrow's way

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

 


This is YUI's second major single. It peaked at #15 on the Oricon Weekly Chart by selling roughly 32,291 copies. This single charted for 10 weeks. The song was also featured as the ending theme in the Japanese movie Hinokio.

Tomorrow's way probably follows almost the same style with feel my soul, but just slower. It's better, because YUI's vocal weren't in that annoying style anymore. Though, people still thought that her voice is annoying. However, this one also has better arrangement and deeper lyrical meaning. YUI perfectly deliver the message to her listeners, including me. She has clear pronunciation, yet the lyrics isn't stated in a complicated way (Please note that she wrote the lyrics by herself). However, listening to this song makes me remember my childhood past. Not to mention, this song has awesome bridge. Thanks for the strings and the electric guitar.
Arrangement: A- | Music: A | Vocal: B

Last Train uniquely has an upbeat country feeling to it. Despite of YUI's mediocre vocal, acoustics and sythetic vibraphone really bring a life to this track. It's so nice to hear this upbeat number after listening to that depressing a-side (it's depressing for me).
Arrangement: A | Music: A | Vocal: B-

YUI's first acoustic version,
feel my soul ~YUI Acoustic Version~, marks the start of acoustic version tradition for the second B-side of the single. I just can say that there's only the acoustic and YUI's vocal. In this version, her vocal is much better than the original one; it's just not ear-pearcing. Nice tradition starter, YUI!

Favourite Song: Can't choose!
Conclusion:
Overall, i must say this is a good single. Because i've heard those songs so long time ago, i have to say that i've already bored. Still, i don't recommend this single who doesn't really like child-like high-pitched vocal of YUI.

Overall, I give this single the score [93/A-] for this single
