摩天楼オペラ - 致命傷

 

Now, what would a good old self-respecting major VK-band be without releasing an anime-opening track? Most likely nothing, and it's surprising that 摩天楼オペラ hasn't done this until now. Although their sound perhaps isn't the most commercial of major visual key -bands, their songs contain great hooks that do suit an opening. And, in my opinion, 致命傷 is a good, solid anime opening containing those hooks, but not only that, it is actually a very good 摩天楼オペラ song too. My favorit aspects of this song is by far Sono's astonising vocals. Although he doesn't present any huge new tricks, this track showcases how great of vocalist he actually is. Altogether, the sound is very 摩天楼オペラ if you listen to the instrumental too, and the overall composition of the track is solid. There is something missing to make this a genuinely awesome 摩天楼オペラ track though. Something that most likely contribute to this feeling is the fact that the release is a one-coin single, aimed only to promote the anime-series, not 摩天楼オペラ at all, which is very sad. Also, the release was weirdly timed, 摩天楼オペラ had just come out with their great new album, AVALON, when they announced 致命傷, which makes it kinda weird and the single itself feels like it doesn't belong anywhere, which is bizarre by 摩天楼オペラ. It contributes to the feeling that the single was perhaps wrapped in a hurry to promote the series. Who knows.
