As Wii U gamers look forward to the next instalment of "Fatal Frame", we take a look at the new mini-album from Amano Tsuki.
Following in the footsteps of previous singles Chou from November 2003, Koe from July 2005 and Zero no choritsu from July 2008, Amano Tsuki
has once again contributed a theme song to renowned videogame series
"Fatal Frame". It features alongside four more brand new tracks on her
latest mini-album Gomoku narabe. Released on October 1st 2014,
with this release, the artist also wanted to commemorate the five years
she has spent working under the name Amano Tsuki.
The album begins with Torikago ~in the cage~, the aforementioned
theme song to new "Fatal Frame" game, "Zero ~Nure garasu no miko~". This
deep and very emotional track about a birdcage kicks off with the
sounds of piano and acoustic guitar. One after another, electric
instruments, drums, strings and then Amano's vocals join the ensemble. At six minutes, Torikago ~in the cage~ might seem pretty long at first, but due to the shifting dynamics and the varied instrumentation, as well as Amano's
outstanding vocals, the song proves very entertaining. If anyone would
like to decide for themselves, they hazard a look at the trailer for the
game, in which Torikago ~in the cage~ is featured.
Compared to the first track, Swimmy is a pure and lively rock
& roll number that invites the listener to dance. This entertaining
song is followed by the somewhat calmer Pablov. Unique in this
lounge-esque piece of music are the trumpet and piano in the background.
Only during the refrain is there a change in pace and volume.
Hana to mitsu is a special kind of ballad. Compared to the previous titles on the album, Amano Tsuki's
singing becomes very childish - it's almost as if you're listening to
some sort of lullaby. Special as well is it's running time: Hana to mitsu lasts less than three minutes, making it the shortest track on Gomoku narabe. The mini-album then ends with dreamy rock ballad Zeitaku na hibi.
I have to confess that I haven't followed Amano's music since she
resumed her musical activities, but the chance to hear a new
composition of hers for "Fatal Frame" revived my curiosity. In the end, Gomoku narabe proved to me that Amano Tsuki
remains a talented singer and songwriter and has created some very
diverse and entertaining new songs here; my personal highlights being Torikago ~in the cage~ and Zeitaku na hibi. I look forward to hearing more from her in future.
As Wii U gamers look forward to the next instalment of "Fatal Frame", we take a look at the new mini-album from Amano Tsuki.
