CD + DVD
Kawatta Katachi no Ishi (Odd Shaped Stone) is KinKi Kids's 32nd single & this was released on 11th Jan .
The duo's new single is a ballad song written by AKB48's founder Akimoto Yasushi & composed by Mashiko Tatsuro .
KinKi Kids is known for their great harmony in synth vocals & this's no exception for Kawatta Katachi no Ishi which's such a heartwarming ballad that I couldn't help but be drawn into it the moment I heard it .
Also the fact that AKB48's founder Akimoto Yasushi is the 1 that penned the lyrics for Kawatta Katachi no Ishi , you know things are in good hands & an interesting fact is that Akimoto Yasushi was also in charge of writing the lyrics for the guys's 22nd single SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! too .
There're 3 B-sides in total that're found in Kawatta Katachi no Ishi , the 1st one is something that's titled Namida Sora ni Kagayaku (Tears Shining In The Sky) .
Namida Sora ni Kagayaku is 1 really peppy no. which paints a really good contrast against Kawatta Katachi no Ishi . It's 1 of those songs that gives off positive vibes which I like .
The next 2 B-sides are tracks that're only found in the CD pressing of the single .
Rinkaku (Contour) -l'e contour d'amour- is 1 song that really has quite a lot of edge & kick since Rinkaku -l'e contour d'amour- is a pretty fast paced upbeat track which has a lot of attitude .
In the case of Yukimushi , it's a ballad just like Kawatta Katachi no Ishi but it's a lot more slower & mellow . I'm not really sure if I can consider Yukimushi as something I would listen to often but something about Yukimushi brings out a rather different raw side of the duo .
Following the release of their 12th album K Album , KinKi Kids kicks off 2012 with their 32nd single Kawatta Katachi no Ishi . The A-side is a ballad for music fans of all ages to enjoy .
With the release of Kawatta Katachi no Ishi , KinKi Kids have extended their own Guiness World Book of Records with their 32nd consecutive #1 single since their 1997debut single Glass no Shounen .
