The record I have reached for has a very special quality for me. That’s why this review is going to be a little bit different than the previous ones. Maybe the reason is a person I’m writing about.
Yoshiki – a legend of a j-rock, the X-japan’s drummer, a compositor, a pianist. Very talented person, very special for me.
As befits a professional, Yoshiki perfectly chose his orchestra. Realization of songs is excellent. Every detail is well done.
Hardly ever anything moves me to tears. But in this case I can freely admit that I started crying while listening to the first song and it lasted till the end of the record. A song ‘Miracle’ moved me as soon as it began Every song is unique and filled with emotions. “Golden Globe Theme’ has so much positive energy that when I listened to this song, it felt like the sun has just risen and shone above my head.
When I’ve heard ‘Tears’ I thought about the X-Japan version. Equally beautiful, but also very different. Both are in some ways unique. I cried again, hearing in my mind Toshi’s voice singing words of this beautiful ballad.
However, ‘Forever Love’ is my favorite ballad. Furthermore, this great arrangement affected me in one way… cry is not enough to say what I’ve experienced.
A piano line of ‘I’ll be your love’ amazed me and took to another world full of magic and positive energy and laughter.
I hope everyone will find something for themselves in this record. Some feelings, joy and reverie, all these emotions that I have found in it.
