Promo wise Shinkokyu no Riyu was used to promote NHK's Minna no Uta .
Shinkokyu no Riyu is the 2nd new song that Aqua Timez released after they regrouped temporarily last July & also released their comeback song Hitoshizuku digitally last Aug .
Unlike Hitoshizuku , Shinkokyu no Riyu is a mid tempo no. song with more emphasis on the piano/keyboards . My favourite part of Shinkokyu no Riyu is the piano bridge which can be heard almost towards the end of the song .
Due to this , the piano bridge in Shinkokyu no Riyu almost felt like an instrumental music interlude incorporated into it , something that I rarely hear/see in songs but nonetheless Shinkokyu no Riyu is another wonderful song that Aqua Timez released .
This year's Aqua Timez's 20th anniversary & it reminds to be seen what they will release next before they disband again . To me I do hope they will consider to make their reunion permanent for good as they still have some really great songs in their discography .
If not the best to do is to make do with whatever Aqua Timez plans to do next before their eventual disbandment .
