Cantarella - KurousaP

Oh man. Cantarella. Is there anything bad I can say about this song that won't have fans all over me?

Anyway, Cantarella is one of those songs that everybody has heard. It was made in early 2008 by extremely popular Vocaloid producer KurousaP. This man is amazing. I bought his album recently, Kimi no Iru Keshiki and I don't at all regret it. His violin work in Cantarella especially is what makes this song so iconic as few other Vocaloid songs can stand up to THIS CLASS.

Oh yeah, and a real alive singer named Gomu did a cover of this. Its damn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij3Ka3VGSfE

I'm pretty sure you know what I'm going to say now. Its great! Its a great song!

The Rating

9/10

There you go. I mean, the violin is the PERFECT touch, and it has a very grand ballroom type feel with a beat encouraging a feeling of some urgency, but in a more graceful way. Its a weird classical/pop mix that somehow creates something beautiful that only KurousaP can really pull off (so I've heard so far). I'm always keeping my eyes and ears peeled for the next Vocaloid sensation.

So yeah.

Time to talk about the video.

The first video I posted...I find it half hilarious, half scary.

Taken out of context (ignoring the lyrics), the video starts with establishing shots of Miku and Kaito, our two characters, in their everyday environments. Normal.

Suddenly, Kaito has on this FABULOUS outfit in Miku's room in the middle of the night. WTF.

I can't get over Kaito's outfit. Its just so incredibly flamboyant. At 0:43 in the video, right after Miku wakes up and sees this strange man over her bed, Kaito strikes the best pose. I know its supposed to be serious, but its just too good.

Anyway, I'll make sure to review a song next time with a little more substance that I can talk about. If a song is perfect, it makes for a boring review I guess.

ROCK ON, FELLOW VOCALOCONNOISSEURS!
