KAT-TUN's latest single RESCUE.. is that kind of style...
So I dont know what people are talking about. ahaha

Rescue reminds me of Sparkle~

DID SOMEONE SAID KAT-TUN ?

anyway I can't see anything simliar music wise between Sparkle & RESCUE at all

sure both have electro roots going on in them but Sparkle tend to lean towards more towards the trance part too while for RESCUE it's more towards the rock part aside from electro in the mix

It doesn't remind me of Sparkle! But the "I don't wanna cry alone" part is catchy... (And here I thought KAT-TUN couldn't make a song I liked!)

that & also the beatboxing which's magical

I mean even Ayu's going with the flow of the electropop phase, she always adds a bit of herself in her music that makes it her own. I can't really think of another artist who could do Sparkle as well really...

Not to mention, the entire album is NOT electropop (from what I hear) it sounds like this album is mixed with a lot of other genres but just happens to have a few electropop tracks in it. I don't think that's anything to get your undies in a bunch over.

well I don't know but I just hope that NEXT LEVEL will be something that will surprise me , I already like the singles that made the cut on the album

I just have a feeling the mood will be much cheery & upbeat unlike GUILTY

I guess I am the only one who when first heard it thought the electronic type sounds and beat remind me of sparkle.. ahaha

Of course the songs are different, beatboxing, rap, etc.
But I think the instruments (electronic ones) are similar~

Anyways.. my point was.. ahahaha
I think the electro-rock-pop-whatevers is really in style right now.

well the intro for both songs are already different .

Sparkle - synth
RESCUE - fire inspired like noises (a nod to Nakamaru Yuichi & NEWS's Masuda drama of the same title)

also another point's that RESCUE's almost completely in full Eng , chorus wise & that didn't happened for Sparkle's case

Anyways.. my point was.. ahahaha

yeah it's , it can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it

Yeah, they don't have to sound the exact same but they are still in the same genre definitely. Electro-pop, techno-pop whatever you want to call it, is definitely the IN thing right now.
