Gackt's new single "Kimi ni aitakute"

[Nocturne]

Thats the name of his new single, not the helmet and armour like people were suggesting. Got the info from Gakuhai.

But it sounds like a nice title. I am very interested in what it will sound like. Seems to me its going to be a ballad.

====================================================

I was worried a bit. That English title was......hmm.....very different.

 

[Nocturne]

I just heard the song and I dont know. I dont like it as much as his other songs. It kind of reminds me of something Klaha would do.

 

[Akurei]

Holding hands...-__-;

Honestly, Gackt..you could do better than that!

Oasis I hope you don't mind but I edited the thread title so it's not confusing.

 

[Nocturne]

no problem at all

But yeah, so far, Im not really impressed with this song. It the first one of his I havent really been impressed with. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

I wasn't impressed by the sample either but samples are terribly misleading so I'm holding all judgement...

 

[Nocturne]

I heard his performance on MS Superlive. Its an ok song. I seriously beleive he can do MUCH better. Its not bad but it's mediocre compared to his other stuff.

Let hope the b-side Peace is better.

 

[Melrudin]

I like the song. I agree it's not as good as his others, but I'm still preordering the single 'cause it's still Gackt! ^^

I don't know, but I love it. It is really strange, but I am always mixed on his singles. It seems to go in patterns, I like one and then hate one, like two, hate the next two. But I loved Last Song and I am loving this too. I can't wait to hear the studio version...

I just have one hope. Is it really going to be as short (2mins30secs) as the music station rip? o_o;;;

No, usually they are shortened and do not contain the second part to the song. They usually do the verse, bridge, chorus, climax, chorus (and sometimes another chorus). Take Birdcage when it appeared on TV.

The single will be coupled with "Peace" (ピース), or "piss" (jks). Both songs will include the instrumentals as usual.

...or "piss" (jks)...

English words put into Katakana can SO easily be mis-translated. ^-^ I love Japanese.

I think what really stuck out to me watching it on Music Station was just how much he was off-key on so many of the notes. I've always considered Gackt one of those few Japanese singers who doesn't suddenly start going off-key when performing, but then maybe in some of those cases they were using prerecorded voice (a lot of those 'live' sections are actually pre-recorded on another smaller soundstage). :?

I have no opinion of the song itself. It really didn't stick out enough to me to have an opinion. Really, I usually just like the B-side of whatever single he releases anyway, so I'm more eager to hear that.

 

[huh?]

the new song didn't strike me either. i feel its' the weakest single song he's made. it's too light and simple. i kinda feel he's losing inspiration. am i being cruel? i hope not. but i know he admitted that in his autobiography. why won't he do something wicked, crazy, and strange sounding? well i'll stop complaining now.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Oh....another Ballad from Gackt ey?....how SURPRISING.....

 

[Anonymous]

Now that a heard the live too I have to say.... I still don't like it ;__;

But I'll still wait for the single cause Gackt's vocals there were a liiiiiiiittttle bit... ah, off.

 

[Jessi]

Even Gackt himself felt his singing was weak. He even wrote a diary entry on Dears apologizing for it.

 

[rizumu]

well seeing as nowadays gackt's singles are all either a) ballads or b) super poppy, i'm glad this song is one of the former as i tend to like those much, much more. last song was great and i'm digging this one too. it's not like it's bad it's just...disappointing it's not something different y'know?

 

[Formless]

Hey, remember when Gackt used to have interesting music backing him up? T_T I hope the single version is alot better and the album that follows.. I hope that's damn good too and doesn't contain tons of b-sides from the singles that come before it.
