TIGHTROPE/WONDERFUL WORLD
12 04 2000: 
the english version is on top, the chinese version (original version) is below. It's in Chinese Simplified GB. I really don't know much about music and really shouldn't make comments like this. It's based purely on instinct and personal preferences.^^;
 

Here I shall comment on TETSU69 solo single tightrope/wonderful world. TIGHTROPE is a very sad song that I liked since I first heard it (as for Wonderful World it's another matter). I can't help but compare this solo to L'Arc. This song doesn't have that kind of melodious bass layer, and the drums 
isn't as skilled as Yukki's (although the style seems pretty much the same...
Don't know if Yukki played it?), there's no dazzling guitar solo, but it's not boring and there's feeling inside it. It's a solid song.

As for the whole song, it does sound like the kind of style that hyde writes, while it also reminds me of the feeling when tetsu drives a car and zooooooms~ past. It makes me wanna cry.
 

As for Wonderful World, I thought, "ah! I really like this person." (laughs) In the beginning, I hated those techno bass/drum beats, and it sounded empty because of the lack of arrangement (there's not enough instrumental layers inside). 

But after listening to it for some time, I felt that this song was very adorable, it makes me wanna laugh. tetsu's backing vocals is really lovely; actually it's the one part that I really like. As for the guitar, although it's melodious, but it's still not enough to charm me.^^;

About Tetsu's solo vocals, he didn't seem to put in too much feelings, although the technique was pretty good (is it because he was trying so hard to sing well that he couldn't put in his feelings? The backing is still more emotional), not as special as Hyde's, but don't know why, it makes me like him more.^^; 
Maybe it's because of the style of the song, and maybe it's because I've been looking forward to hearing it sooo much...

Finally, as I listened to it, I began to think, "Ah! Maybe I have fallen in love with this person." Which is why it makes me feel so sad. Don't you think that when music entrances you, it steals your heart away? (hugs lil tete and cries)
