Meltdown - iroha

Straight after Kokoro, we have another famous Rin Kagamine song: Meltdown. Its worth noting that while I credit iroha for making the song, it was KUMA who wrote the lyrics. I'm honestly not very familiar with KUMA, but the lyrics fit very nicely with the music so the duo did a good job collaborating.

Meltdown is another great song for people just starting to listen to Vocaloid music since its such a well known classic compared to other songs.

The lyrics are very interesting and definitely have a double meaning going for them. However, with my mere elementary understanding of the Japanese language, I generally decide what Vocaloid songs I like based more on sound than on words. Still, its nice when a song makes me think, and after reading into the meaning of this song, I did have to stop for a moment.

The Rating

8/10

Don't hate me, all you people who really love this song. Let me assure you that I think this song is very deserving of its popularity. Its just a little...um...simple? Okay, that's the wrong word. Iroha as a musician creates a lot of songs that sound a bit like Meltdown (such as "moon": review coming soon). The fact is, is that iroha doesn't like to make songs very complicated. The simplicity of Meltdown actually works VERY well in its favor and its catchy factor is what got it the 8 rating.

I wouldn't be a Vocaloid Connoisseur if I gave every song 10/10 of course! Its just that no part of Meltdown really makes me stop and say "WOW! I gotta hear that again!" Take Kokoro for instance. Every time the chorus hits, I get those chills that just scream: "DAMN, THAT'S GOOD!" Overall, a solid contribution to the world of Vocaloid by iroha.
