Hey ! Say ! JUMP - Your Seed / Bouken Rider (Rider Adventure)
CD Only Cover :
CD + DVD Cover :
Your Seed / Bouken Rider (Rider Adventure) is Hey ! Say ! JUMP's 3rd single & their 1st double A side . It was released officially today in Japan .
Your Seed's served as the image song for the movie Kung Fu Panda .
Interestingly , HSJ's label mates with ARASHI in which both of the bands's works are produced by J Storm .
I only recently became a fan of this 10 piece member band that's signed by talent agency Johnny & Associates . HSJ's a very young band with the average age of the group is 15 with the youngest member being 13 & the oldest 18 .
I was initally skeptical to give their music a shot especially when I found out how young they're but after I heard their latest single Your Seed , I was pleasantly surprised with how mature they sounded in Your Seed as compared to their 1st 2 singles Ultra Music Power & Dreams come true .
Not to mention the inclusion of an erhu in the melody's surprising & just plain brillant which gives a much deserved edge to Your Seed .
Perhaps due to the sheer brillance of Your Seed , the other A side Bouken Rider (Rider Adventure) is somewhat being overshadowed & neglected upon but it doesn't mean that Bouken Rider's not an enjoyable song to listen to .
The music style of Bouken Rider's a guitar pop driven no. . It's definitely not as catchy as Your Seed but it's worth a few spins & it's a definite grower for that matter .
They have a lot of potential brewing in them & I predict pretty good things that will be showered upon this group in time to come .

# 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
