[2011.11.22] French Kiss - 4th Single "Saisho no Mail"

[muppet]

Just watched the Saisho no Mail in ful for the first time. Really well done, the three members really blend into a nice unit. As commented in this thread, French Kiss has developed their own sound, and Avex production level is quite high.

Types A, B and C have been added in the Multimedia Thread!

I think this is FK's most experimental single so far.

Saisho no Mail has their typical signature sound. Pop with some guitars, but nothing too wild.
Candle no Shin explorer some new vocal arrangements. It's almost like a ballad with a nice beat to it.
Last Train takes that beat a step further... this could actually pass for a No Sleeves song imo.
Dragon Fruit Tabegoro goes even further and is a full on Perfume song

Atsushi is gonna be pissed

It's all because Mocchi pretty much stars in Bimyo, helped juice the sales

[jafeijai]

Supposedly the PV for Dragonfruit no Tabekoro, haven't seen a DVD-Rip to confirm this though *ahem*

[SomethingWild]

Two possibilities:
1. That is the original "Korea shot photography tour" clip from the Type C DVD
2. They used that clip and put the Dragonfruit song over it

I don't have any rips either... I guess with both PVs out, many didn't bother with the two off-shot clips.

The song is making not want to watch the clip 

[winner]

^^Yeah. It's the Special PV from Type C.
I ripped beforehand, haven't watched it either though.

Just added it to the Saisho no Mail.
Will add the other Korea Filming clip in a bit.
