Tegomass is a JE duo made up of two members from NEWS (Tegoshi Yuya and Masuda Takahisa) and Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~ is their second single. Two of the songs on this single were used in the anime Lovely Complex (which is good by the way, WATCH IT). Although this single charted to #2, the first week sales were around 15000 higher than their first single (which charted to #1).
My thoughts
Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~ was used as the first ED song to RabuCon. I remember when I first heard the song play as the ED to the anime and thought it was a boring song, now as I listen to the full version I do change my opinion. The song is a nice poppy ballad with sweet lyrics. It’s a good song, Tegoshi and Massu’s vocals are some of the best from NEWS and they pull off the song very well.
Kimi+Boku=LOVE? is the other song used in RabuCon and is the first OP. The song is HAPPY, that’s what I think. The lyrics are cute and fit the relationship of Risa and Atsuhi from the anime well. I don’t know why this single wasn’t a double A-side and why this song wasn’t given a PV as well (but I still like the first track better).
Marui Chikara is the third track on the single. It’s an up-beat pop song and I like the instruments used in the song. The chorus is catchy but the overall song is not too memorable.It’s an above avergae song from the two. The kid’s voices near the end of the song is a nice touch.
Kibou no Hikari wo Kokoro ni Tomosou was only featured on the limited edition as a bonus track. It’s a slower song but it just manages to be an average song to me. It’s not bad but I’m not going to remember the melody from the top of my head.
Final Judgement
3.5 out of 5, above average JE single (also helps that I like Tegoshi and Massu). The two songs used in RabuCon are good but the other two seem average to me. I’ll upload the songs later when I’m bothered It’s up but I’m not uploading the other two :D, I IS SICK and still posting.
