Thursday, 02 June 2016The Klassic Note Review 2016.06 Issue 1
Hey, I'm back! In part two of the TrySail-Klassic Note Review Special (I just thought of it on the spot haha) I review another of their latest singles this year, and yes it's been three weeks since its release already, but I'm still hyped listening to it, seriously. Let's start, shall we?音楽 The Klassic Note Review
TrySail - High Free Spirits [Single]
 |  |  |
| Limited Edition | Anime Limited Edition | Regular Edition |
Origin: TrySail may not sound familiar to you, but it's a long way for these girls since their first single almost a year ago. Amamiya 'Ten-chan" Sora isn't as emotive as now, Asakura "Mocho" Momo isn't as serious as before, and Natsukawa "Nan-chan" Shiina isn't as confused as she looks today. Okay, it's all referencing to the 4th single they are in now, and of course they have recently released their album a week ago. All in all, it's smooth-sailing for TrySail (get it?) singing cute pop songs all around, and sometimes serious cool songs sound great on them too. This harmony, you don't get anywhere else.
(1) High Free Spirits
This turns out to be a surprisingly good song for another upbeat song from them since their second single, and this sounds even better than back then. Crediting to Anime Haifuri (which isn't great IMO) it of course has lyrics with respect to that, but then the melody is overall very catchy especially the chorus, and till today I'm still hooked onto it. This will no doubt make of a good live performance tune, and man am I hyped to listen to them sing this someday. The music video... allow me to reference you guys to a specific Entertainment News a couple of weeks ago where I quote from Ten-chan the timestamps for the best shots she can imagine from her blog, and yes they are awesome. Somewhat this brings in more hype than usual for my impression of the song itself, but hey, whatever it takes to make it awesome, I guess.
Yes Ten-chan, your back is real awesome... Hah!— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) May 15, 2016

Rating: 4 stars (Awesome-Slightly-Above Average)
(2) Bokura no Symphony [Our Symphony]
This is that deal breaker as always, B-sides. Stuck with their 3rd single I have been waiting for the album to get released, this one got stuck quite a while before I gave the thumbs up. First impressions aren't great with a general consensus (from myself lol) that the verses of the song do not tie up well with the chorus, and feels like two parts. But after listening a couple more times I have been convinced that it does pair in well, and since the melody is well done I have no reason to reject the song, a common way of giving songs in Klassic Note today. Otherwise, this song has a cute feeling to it, cohesiveness is blatantly written in the title, and yeah, it'll make you want to sing along. This song also greatly reminds me of their tough journey along as actors in general, and that this is quite a symbol of it. Anime composers like to do that, apparently. Yes, talking about you, Aniplex.
Rating: 4 stars (Somewhat Average)
Conclusion: If you need comparison, it's better than their previous single just purely based on the B-side, but then overall than I guess the topic songs cannot compete because it's cute vs cool, which is a very controversial topic in Klassic Note in terms of a single artist group's style especially when dictated by foreign composers, yes? But then this is your usual average single, and I recommend you to listen to it. Really, the topic song (A-side) won't disappoint.
THE PACKAGE
That's it then. I'm tired, and I have to shape up that special gift, yes? *laughs hard* Cya guys this weekend, while I report on my (lack of) progress in life.
*sigh*
