It took me a while to warm up to Pray and beloved... because not only do they have the typical Yuta Nakano sweeping grand ballade sound, but the melodies sound like the kind of generic, palatable dreck Yuna Ito or some other second-rate J-pop songstress would sing. TK ballads: Ivy, Walk, Virgin Road, November... have a kind of unique quality in the way they build /relieve tension.
I actually agree. There IS something charming about TK ballads. Because I loved Ivy and Walk and I think I need to judge Anything for You in full. I think there's gonna be a beautiful bridge somehow...looking at how the lyrics are written..
