PAGES

Yesterday, I was scrolling in my twitter timeline and I encountered SZ's "La Sexy Woman" and I've been obsessed LSS-ed with it ever since.

I quickly downloaded their newest album "PAGES", which has "La Sexy Woman" as its first track. Its funny how quickly LSW (shortened version of La Sexy Woman.... its hard to type) grew to me. I don't usually listen to other groups (other than the current ones I listen to) unless I'm in the mood or if a friend makes me do so. :>

I'm gonna put my first listen thoughts here!!! (I'm listening to it while I'm typing) so....

I'm not familiar with their voices (yet) so to avoid mistakes, I'm just gonna mention the order of who sings! :D

1. La Sexy Woman
The refrain part is really catchy and their combined voices are so good to hear! The one who starts the first verse has a really calm singing voice which sounds heavenly. :") I feel like this one's gonna be my bias (coughs). The second one sounds quite young? which creates a balance in their voice blending. The third one sounds kinda raspy which is the contrast from the second one. The fourth one sound very mature and deep and I love his voice in "dakishimetai~" part!
The overall feel of the song is quite dreamy and basing on my limited Japanese, the lyrics are mature. :^)  This is the type of song I usually encounter with JE artists, but with this one, it has something that will keep you listening to it. Probably my favorite in the album but we'll see!

2. Koi ga Hajimaru yo!!!
This ones really lively with all the drums in the background and I think this will take a few more listens for me to give my final verdict. XD I don't usually listen to these kinds of songs and if I do, it always takes me a bunch more of listens before I can tell if this is a favorite or not.


3. Suppin KISS
THIS!! Is a favorite (LOL) This one's really good! Their voices really mesh well together!! The dreamy sound is really good (why do I always classiffy it as dreamy???)~ THIS ONE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO THE FAVORITES PLAYLIST

4. CRY
I'm guessing this is a ballad due to the piano.... but nope I don't think so now ;U;. The first one's voice is really good!!!!!!!! SOMEONE TELL ME  WHO IS THE FIRST ONE WHO'S SINGING!!!
I can see myself listening to this whenever I don't have anything to do or when its raining (I'm setting up a ballad's mood even though this is not a ballad but--) XD Their voices is really good to listen to though. How come it just matches in everything??? (too early to say it but YA GET ME)
The last line before the song ends :((

5. Make Me Bright
I thought its a ballad (again) but the first few seconds are good!! Is this perhaps a solo song? One verse was completely sang by one guy! Or is it a duo song??? but yeah, this one's really good! I like the laidback feel of the verses and I feel like this one's good for late night rides or conversations :D

6. Innocent Days
I'm finally getting the ballad song I've been looking for! The chorus does not change that drastically unlike some songs that I heard from the other groups I follow. THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO MY FAVORITES!!! Their voices are really beautiful istg. THE ENDING IS THE MANDATORY ENDING OF BEAUTIFUL SONGS AAAAAA that was so beautiful!!!

7. Don't Run Away
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH Is this a dance song? Why does this exude the feeling of song where everyone dances to? XD I love the calm before the storm aka the part before the chorus!!! This immediately goes to my favorites!
who's the one that said "Shut up"? ;;;A;;; THAT VOICE AND THE "Dont't Run Away" AT THE LAST CHORUS FJHKJD IM LOSING MY MIND

8. My Sweet Heart My Sweet Love
wah, a complete 360 degree flip from Don't Run Away's feel (HAHAHA) This one's a really bright song! It also sounds cute! WOOOH. This one is quite the turn so I think one more listen will make me put this to my favorites list. Their voices, again, ARE HEAVENLY.

-- short break but yeah im loving this album....--

9. Chiku Chiku Heart ~beating,beating~
I'm loving the "beating, beating" part at the start! XD THIS ONE IS A TOTAL CUTESY SONG I LOVE THIS :"( I totally see myself jamming to this jfkjdg (I continue to deny but the truth is I'm such a sucker for cutesy songs...) OKAY NEEEEEEEEXT.

10. Aoi Koibito
ah, this one can be a theme song for a drama!  It sounds really lovely! The lyrics sounds cute too :") I'll totally recommend this to my friends when I meet them! It doesn't have those overly done chorus and I'm thankful because I tend to stray away from songs with those, or I don't listen to it much. I LOVE THIS

11. Hands Up!
This feels like the one song they play at the concert where they invite the audience to wave the penlights XD A very energetic song! I totally see this being played in SZ's next tour (WHEN IS IT I NEED TO KNOW... @ JE)
why do I sense this being EDM tho :c I have varying emotions for this one so I'm just gonna be at the neutral side.

12. Karakuri Darake no Tenderness
AH THIS SONG!! From Kenty's Dorokei drama!!! I watched it way back and I loved the drama XD Kenty's the real puppy!! And yes, I know Nakaken/Kenty :D I don't recognize his singing voice tho :<  I love this song so much but I didn't get the chance to find the song so what I did was I cropped one episode of the drama where they play this song and converted it to mp3! XD NOW I HAVE THE SONG YAAAAAAAAS
"I gotta get you tonight" THIS WAS PLAYED IN THE DRAMA RIGHT? haaa~ This one's really really great!!

13. Zenzen Kankenai
This could be an anime opening!! I love the song already even though I only heard the opening! The feel is really good!! WAAAAAH. This is an immediate fave! I'm already jamming hard to this ;u;

14. Wonder Love
A cute song!!! or wait it also sounds quite jazzy.... BUT ITS GREAT
nothing to say because my sentiments are same: LOVE THEIR VOICES, SONG IS GREAT

15. Kimi ga Ita Natsu ni
ooooooohh~ the feel is really good! The tune is kind of laidback and it just takes you along with it. <3 Its nice to hear a song like this!!

16. Itsumademo Itsumademo
awww :") The title is cute! This is a good ending for the Disc 1! This is that one song that you come back to in the album! I'm loving the lyrics too!


I don't have their solo songs yet, but I'll do listen to them when I get them and just insert it here!

Conclusion: ALL OF THE SONGS ARE GREAT! It showed the colors of their vocals and they can really do any genre. :")
Some of the songs are solid favorites already, and some just needs a few more listens for it to be a favorite! This is completely my opinion of the songs!

I'll download the other albums and listen to them :") Their vocals are really so good, I feel like I can listen to it for a long time!

~Thanks for reading up until here!~
