Tackey & Tsubasa - PROGRESS , Anna Tsuchiya - What you gonna do ?
This's sorta a sub review of songs as I realised I have not talked about these 2 songs which're a A & B side song respectively .
Tackey & Tsubasa's PROGRESS is the other A side song of their comeback/10th single Koi Uta / PROGRESS . The double A side was released last Wed in Japan & its peak position was no.2 & it was outsold by GReeeeN's Kiseki by a mere 4,004 copies with Koi Uta / PROGRESS's 1st week sales stands at 68,973 copies while GReeeeN's Kiseki sold 72,977 copies which = bah .
PROGRESS to me sounds like a typical Tackey & Tsubasa song as it bears similarities to their other fast paced upbeat no.s . Not that it's a bad thing but I can definitely tell it's not really an A side worthy material .
If it's a B side song then I can understand . I rather Koi Uta get all the screentime to be an A side as when you put Koi Uta & PROGRESS together , PROGRESS's definitely overshadowed by Koi Uta .
PROGRESS :
Anna Tsuchiya's What you gonna do ? is the B side that can be found on her 8th single Crazy World which was released just 2 days ago in Japan .
Just like her previous singles , all of her B sides that I have heard in cocoon & BUBBLE TRIP / sweet sweet song are Eng songs which's the same case for What you gonna do ? .
While rapper AI is featured in the main A side single Crazy World , she provides backing vocals in the B side song .
What you gonna do ? is quite unusual & different from previous B side songs that I have heard from Anna & just like Crazy World , it's in the Rock and R&B veins . The song starts off with some nifty guitar work & then it slowly builds & explodes in your face .
It will take a while for me to get used to What you gonna do ? but it's a good thing as I have always like Anna's works since I discovered her music via her NANA works .
Then again , be it her NANA or non NANA related works , they're all good for me as she's an individual in her own right .

# My music blog consists of JPop/Rock singles & albums reviews that I put my heart , efforts & soul into writing them as I'm disgusted with the way that JPop/Rock music is being treated/written/reviewed in Singapore so to the local media (yes you TEENS , Teenage Magazine & The Strait Times) , screw you all . I basically can write better JPop/Rock reviews , period
