I think Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni is meant to be like that.

It might sounds generic and repetitive to some people but this song seems like a reminiscent to some old 80's JPop songs and somewhat enka-like as well. But because of that, I think it conveys a strong feeling, why? The lyrics, it's a bittersweet song.

Several pieces of Kajiura works, like Hanako to Anne soundtracks, her Fiction II album, some of Rekishi Hiwa Historia music are somewhat back to basic for me, she brings back some classic sounds flavored by some folk elements, which is something that I can relate to Samidare ga Sugita Koro ni.

I'm a fan of classic sounds and folk genre, probably that's why I love this song a lot.
Well, it's just my opinion.

Also, Mahiru is just another lirica, Gloria, lapis, or those B-sides for me, that's why I'm not really into it.
