This single was distributed at April 28's NHK Hall live along with the DIVE INTO THE SUN photobook. I believe only 5,000 copies were released. The market price for this photobook is now at 35,000 yen (~ $292). Ouch! Ahhh, the beautiful law of supply and demand.
Whoa, this is the first alice nine. release post-Zekkeishoku that I actually like!
Gekkou Yoku, what a pretty title. As you might expect from a song whose title can be translated to "Bask in the Moonlight", this is a ballad (I was also thinking "Moonlight Bath", but it doesn't sound poetic). The rippling, glistening introduction immediately put me in a receptive mood. Shou didn't slaughter the song this time, thank god. His voice instead weaves into the tender, soothing melody to present an appealing whole. Though, I have a feeling that the major reason I'm going to give this song a higher rating is that I'm too relieved that it doesn't grate on my nerves.
But hey, another single's coming out in a month. Hope the band does an even better job.

The album art I used is actually the cover of the photobook, since this song came with the book. ^_^

Haha, thanks! I guess it's my style. I like to write about what the music makes me feel and visualize. ^_^
