Shimatani Hitomi - Ame Oto
I'm actually a fan of her but I haven't listened to any of her recent stuff, so this is a completely new song to me.
From the beginning notes I knew immediately that this was going to be a laidback mid-tempo/jazz influenced-ish song. Her vocals as always are beautiful. It's a very relaxing song but I wished it had a more stronger chorus to make a bigger impact because it sounds just like the verses and the rest of the song. Because throughout the song she sings with a relatively similiar rhythm, so that would have helped made the song stand out more. I like how the background music increased to a crescendo at the end though.
4/5
