I don't know, the video for "The Difference" seems a lot cheaper since it's just opening/closing mouths on a still picture...and it's such a subtle movement too, because I can barely tell THE DIFFERENCE.
...
Now that THAT is out of the way, I will say that "The Difference" is the best out of these three new songs. I love the upbeat jazz and total English randomness, and it proves that Aya can maintain a grown-up image and sound without being "boring". And the other songs are decent as well despite not being as quirky...perfect to just chill/relax to. Though "Yokohama Rondo" seems like wasted potential: if they made the drums stronger/louder, stuck with only the natural piano for keyboard sounds, and ditched the horns it would sound so many times better...kind of a tease as-is.
With this more jazz-oriented sound, maybe she's become Up Front's answer to Aibon's recent stylistic switch? The battle of Kansai's finest former H!P singers!
Knowing the prices of Japanese CDs, I'm really stuck on the fence about getting this one, but Aya still continues to display an amazing singing voice that I just can't help but love hearing.
