Like: French Kiss have their own style and you can hear it again in this single. It's something Not Yet is still lacking, but I think it's important for a unit to have it. Their clothing style reflects this signature sound which definitely gives French Kiss their own image.

Don't like: The song, as most French Kiss songs, is a bit on the safe side. A tad boring, perfectly produced idol pop.

Tokyohive:

Quote
“Saisho no Mail” describes one’s feelings when they send that first (e-)mail to the person they like. Kashiwagi Yuki commented, “We thought of what a girl with a global point of view would long for, and mail seems to be the subject of that.” Member Takajo Aki stated that at first they were thinking of a song that is “French Kiss” music.

The single will include a DVD containing footage of girls on their ‘Korea Bullet Tour‘. Fans will get to see the members dressed up in traditional Korean clothes (‘hanboks‘), as well as casual clips of the girls wandering local streets, trying out different foods.

Commenting on their Korean Bullet Tour, Kashiwagi said that it was her first time in Korea and she immediately took a liking to the city’s atmosphere and food.

With regards to the single’s promotions, the girls will be doing a campaign on Recochoku called “A ‘First letter’ from French Kiss”. One member will choose their favorite “love mail” and send one back. French Kiss expressed that it’s an exciting project for them, and Takajo sweetly pointed out that the scenario is like what one would find in a manga. She requested that their fans send a letter that will make her heart skip a beat. Kuramochi, on the other hand, wants one that is more straightforward.

The single’s coupling song will be the opening theme song to the music show, “Street Fighters“. There will also be a new song by Kashiwagi and Kuramochi called “Candle no Shin“.

Type B cover is probably my fav. They're a bit safe, a bit plain, but they seem to suit the song. The theater type cover is nice, but too stereotypical  :lol:

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! (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=31140.0)

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  :lol:

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  :nervous

I ripped beforehand, haven't watched it either though. :lol:
