Of Chihara Minori’s Tomorrow’s Chance

The long-anticipated arrival of Minorin’s new single Tomorrow’s Chance has leaked via the intrawebs once again.  Mighty are the denizens of the World Wide Web. Ok enough praising of the great people who have brought us this single before its official release date.  Onto the single itself.

Here’s the tracklist… not much to it, lol.

1. Tomorrow’s Chance
2. Sunshine Flower
3. Tomorrow’s Chance (instrum.)
4. Sunshine Flower (instrum.)

Ok, onto my quick thoughts and views.

Tomorrow’s Chance reminded me of Ameagari no Hana no Sake as soon as I heard it.  I don’t know what else to say about it… it sounds very similar.  I initially hated Ameagari no Hana no Sake, but I eventually grew to like it.  I’m still undecided about Tomorrow’s Chance, but given time, maybe I’ll like it.

Sunshine Flower started a little promising… I liked the instrumental intro, and somehow expected it to explode into something majestic. It clearly didn’t, and then, eh, Minorin came in.  I don’t know, the way she sings the song really ticks me off.  I looped the song around 3 times, and these are my thoughts during the 3 playbacks.
#1: “Um… ok, let’s just give it another go.”
#2: “OMGAH its getting annoying.”
#3: *Closes iTunes*
I really don’t like it.  It’s happy, giddy, and very annoying.

My thoughts on the single?  I’m greatly disappointed.  I’m not happy.  And the scans aren’t that great. LOL.  I really think the CD cover doesn’t fit the content of the single at all.  Anyway, no one really cares about how I feel about the single.  Everyone’s just here for the scans.  Well, enjoy.  I actually left them clickable as opposed to my normal downsizing.  Knock yourselves out.

For all you people who want the lyrics, and can read Japanese (I clearly don't fall under that category)

  1. I know… really… Japanese people have this thing for writing lyrics with random English titles that have very little to do with the songs…

    I have a hypothesis: A Modern Japanese song isn’t J-pop unless it’s got some horribly mangled English lyric (one word or 3) in it

  2. I do not have this single but when I watched her MV from Youtube I automatically did “HECK wha-!?”. The song has no direction and MV make me think “Are they trying to ruin Minorin?” it gross me! indeed!
