Professional Reviews:-RecochokuThis work "Blue Train" is one piece that delivers an unexpected, refreshing impact though we think that everyone expected it. The song "Blue Train" gives a feeling of intellectual construction beauty. The second song, "Road Movie", was inspired by AKG’'s recent Tour 2005 Re:Re:. The scenery on the trip is drawn in a vivid color. "Tobenai Sakana" has good development, in which the sharpness and melodies are drawn out. "Gekkou" decorates the end of this single with a shining melody that is divine. -Oricon AKG finally releases their new single after 1 year and 2 months of waiting! Blue Train leaves a refreshing impression that overflows. To cut off the melody and center on the rhythm is impressive. In addition, the skill of the sound has been received even in foreign countries. In addition, the other three tunes are rich in variety. This has been called a single when its contents could be called a mini-album. -Amazon Japan Fullum Roux Moa: The tune of Blue Train differs but when Gotoh begins to sing the song is better. However, the fourth (Gekkou) is quite a good tune. I hope you make this a A tune. Ajikan: the JPOP industry is rotted now. I want you to hold on to the future. Shunske: Judging from listening on the radio, the single was undesirable; however, I thought AKG is a band with more bite. I gave four stars out of five because it is a good tune. AKG Fan Reviews:Overall, this is a good single. The real jewel of this single however is Gekkou (track 4) and deserves to be put on their upcoming album! akfgfan Gekkou is nothing short of spectacular. There are Eastern Youth undertones in the guitar, and Yamada does a beautiful job. It’s paced like Kaigan, which they pull off just as well as stuff like Rewrite. Nothing like a band that keeps not letting you down with every realease. FindingMattch I must admit that it is the first time an AKFG song don’t make me sing and cry all night long. So I feel a bit dissapointed by this long-awaited single. I don’t know why but I don’t meet again with the magic from any of their past albums. Blackout stays the #1 music in my heart. Hope their next album will bring back emotions and feeling they know doing so well. Kobashi I love this single!!!!! I think this single is brilliant and the song is more emotional than AKG’s other songs. I think AKG has improved a lot and this is one of the proof. The music are totally theirs and Gocchi’s voice improved A LOT!!! All the songs are very unique and doesnt sound the same. I think its more like a mini album than a single...The song variation is incredible. I love it~ the_aki This was well done! I’ve heard all four songs, and it sounds like normal AKFG! I was afraid they would change, but they have a little but for the better! esgdsbgs Yea, when I first heard the songs on this single, I was wondering where the connection was with other Ajikan songs. So if anyone says it sounds like their other songs, they’re gonna be in a world of hurt! On a side note, I love Road Movie. It’s upbeat, the lyrical flow is great, etc. The beginning of Gekkou threw me off, with the piano and all. But damn, great song, too. Very atmospheric. Ahh~ Overklocked I absolutely love Gekkou -_- I think your review is good -_- But I like Road Movie over Tobenia Sakana. But that is still a great song. Gekkou is very different from their others songs. Well not that different aheheh. I like how they ended this single. I guess it was worth the wait for it to came out :) Riasu  |
