@ Akutenshi: Uh, the song is trance-like in nature it's supposed to be repetitive that's what the genre is known for. Plus, it's also supposed to be scary. The opera singing is not really opera singing but rather Gregorian chanting.

Nakamaru Ataru - Kaze ni Naru
Wow, this song is very pretty. I love the traditional instruments and her voice. It has slight hints at enka but isn't. While pretty, the song is a bit too long and I think the background music should have been a bit louder, or her vocals could have been softer because after a while it's sort of overpowering the other.
4/5

Misora Hibari - Kawa no Nagare no You ni
(This is from my favorite enka singer ever! Anyone who is everyone who's Japanese should know this song. It also was voted the best Japanese song ever in a poll by NHK.)

-NOT REVIEWING-

I figured it was supposed to be, but still, not my thing at all. And there are ways to make trance songs not repetitively boring, I like a lot of trance songs.

Misora Hibari - Kawa no Nagare no You ni

When it first started, I got the old school vibe right away, her voice isn't that bad but for some weird reason there were parts where she sounded like a cat XD. The music is good and when the drums came and the choir/backing vocals came its just enhanced the song even more. Overall its not bad but it doesn't really capture my interest.

4.5/5

Eri Nobuchika - Lights -album Mix-
