Label: Avex Trax

オリオン座 from Kitixxxgaia, new track Yabatan伝説, and an alternate, stripped down version of 君に届くな, also from Kitixxxgaia.

Depending on how much you get from these tracks, to me, it’s mostly about the new song. オリオン座 is a solid, mid-tempo, sweet Seiko track, but I don’t think it gains anything from being highlighted as a single, and isn’t what I’d consider one of the artists most grabbing song. Yabatan伝説, like a lot of Seiko’s teamups, is more on the fast-paced side of things, but its electro/rock beat is pretty standard fare for that aspect of Oomori’s output. It’s definitely fun, and has your typical frantic shouty moments, but… yeah, not I said ‘typical.’ (Though for Seiko, that average bar is higher than it might be for others.)

君に届くな is something of an acoustic take. I’d say that maybe fits the nature of the song more, as its broken singing style is reminiscent of the artist’s earliest works, but overall, I don’t think it truly changes the track. Both effect the same mood, one is just a bit busier.
