Souls Rhapsody’s Weblog

I really can’t understand why so many people hate Melty Tale Storage.

I downloaded (SORRY MINORIN!!! BUT SHIPPING IS JUST TOO COSTLY!) Minorin’s newest single about a week ago, and even after listening to it several times, I still don’t see it’s appeal.

Let’s just introduce the single first: Ameagari no Hana yo Sake contains two songs: Ameagari no Nana yo Sake and Say You. Both songs are upbeat, happy-sounding songs. Personally, I see NOTHING appealing about the title track; neither her singing nor the song itself reached out to me in any way or fashion. Say You actually spoke to me a little… but not enough. I thought Say You sounded rather generic… generic in that it sounds like 90% of all other happy ani-songs. However, Minorin’s Engrish was… less Engrish-y this time around, so I’ll give her a tiny bit of credit there. Overall, I didn’t like the single at all.

I’ve read many many other reviews on Melty Tale Storage (Minorin’s single before this one), and most people hated it. I, however, fell in love with it after listening to it a few times. I love how it sounds so grand and powerful, and absolutely loved the chorus and the two different parts being sung. I even liked the Echo of Melty Tale Storage: Red Strings Version they threw onto the single… even if it’s almost 8 minutes long. Sandglass~Kioku no Ryushi, the second track on the single, was also a better song (imo) than Say You.

In conclusion: Melty >>> Ameagari, and Sandglass >>>Say You… therefore Melty single >>> Amegari single. That’s just my opinion. Of course, it all depends on one’s taste in music… I simply thought Minorin’s newest single contained common-sounding songs with a style that many other artists also perform (and probably perform better). If there’s one thing that I think the Ameagari single bested the Melty single in, it’s the cover and pictures XD

Agreed that the pictures of Ameagari >>>> Melty.
It’s probably people’s preference in music. I personally like the upbeat music that songs like Ameagari gives off. Say You kinda gives me a strange Disney feel to it. o_O

I can listen to Red Strings Version of Melty over and over again, that’s how much I like it. Then again, it’s also a song I can peacefully fall asleep to if I loop it…

Then again, I’m not quite the avid Minorin fan as I am Nana or Sammi, so any song that comes by, I’m fine with. I kinda like the new single, but Melty wasn’t all that bad either. It’s a win-win on my side.

WOO. OLYMPICS.
Btw, if you have the chance to, give Kannazuki no Miko a swing. Finally, a yuri anime since Simoun. It’s not as good (obviously), but I’m still watching it. Ayako is the main char, with Mami as a side char.
