Tokyo
Knight of a Foreign Country
LET IT DIE~Wandervogel~


I feel like synth choice in Tokyo is a bit odd for the melody here but it's still a pleasant song. I tend to like the Guilty Gear songs that are more guitar focused a lot, but this isn't really that. Don't really like the percussion in this song and this vocal style is one I'm mostly neutral towards.

Shake ya body is too repetitive for me and these sorts of bass rhythms rarely ever get me invested in a song. The back half of the song is somewhat better but it comes too little too late. I've always like Knight of a Foreign Country a lot. Very high-energy song with a nice violin part. The melody is active and interesting and the backing parts are quite strong as well.

I never saw eye-to-eye with the compositional style of Banbard to begin with, and the instrumentation on this version is a lot worse. Similar to the Guilty Gear song, I'd say I'm neutral-to-positive on the vocals in LET IT DIE, though the good parts like the end hit a lot better. I like the overall package more here though--both the vocals and especially the backing parts are much better. The guitar solo is also solid.
