Hi friends.
So this is probably an inappropriate time given that the album is here for some and on the horizon for others, but I needed to get this out. Don't read this yet if you would prefer to stay in the land of hype for the album.
Never have I felt more disappointment toward a Nana song than I do when listening to "Koi no Yokushiryoku -type EXCITER-" Back when the original was leaked, I and a few others on the net mistook it for the fourth single to be released before "IMPACT EXCITER" sometime in April. It was absolutely heavenly and actually indicative of Nana's evolving sound. Unlike many of her other character songs, which sound much more dated, "Koi no Yokushiryoku" felt right on the cutting edge of Nana's releases at the time. After realizing it was a character song, everyone was rightfully speculating that it would make the album a'la "Aoki Hikari no Hate -ULTIMATE MODE-" before it, and I was more excited for that than for the release of any of the album's three singles.
But then the album came and track 10 rolled around, ushering in a filtered voice and a stifled chorus that lacked the explosive force of its origin, instead choosing to emphasize the beat over Nana's soaring, emotive voice.
Did anyone else feel the kind of intense disappointment that I experienced? The original was an absolute gift--completely unexpected and beyond incredible--but "type EXCITER" was a muffled and restrained version of a song that begged for release. It made me sad, especially considering how much more elegant the revamp of "Aoki Hikari no Hate" was. Am I alone here, though? Does anyone prefer "type EXCITER" to the original? Someone convince me that my ears are misguided so that I might try again to force myself to enjoy the revamp more than the original--because I try every time I listen to it.
