Ibuki - 1st solo single preview

If you are exploring modern Japanese music for a long time, then you can notice this beautiful girl. Such talent is hard to miss. For the first time I noticed in this project.



Of course, the word "girl" doesn't quite fit, but in we in Russia has a phrase "girls are always 18 years old, the rest is experience". So, recently was issued preview of first single.

Strong, domineering personality
is noticeable at first sight.

First thing to notice is that now this is not a copy of Around The Nation, which was band Disqualia. At the time of their second single, I asked myself: "Dis-" means "Asunder", "-qualia" means ... "Quality"? Yes, during the activity of this band, strange artistic decisions were made.

But back to video. Now this is something completely new. In first track there is a very intense rhythm section. Also noticeably an abundance of scales on guitar. Melodious is the main thing. That's right decision.

Vocal techniques are now completely different. I can't say that I expected such a voice. Perhaps this is done for better readability of lyrics. And lyrics are pretty affected and expressive.

Fragment of second track is too short, it's difficult to analyze. But I can say that this work is supposed to be quite interesting. And if work is as I suppose, then the rating can be 85-90 out of 100.
