[single] ENDLESS STORY - REIRA starring YUNA ITO

ENDLESS STORY-REIRA starring YUNA ITO

Please do not confuse her with the other Reira from OLIVIA. Ok, in actual fact, they are both playing the same person. Yuna Ito here, is starring as Reira for the movie version of "NANA", OLIVIA, however is only channelling Reira to sing the theme songs for the anime only.

Now we got that sorted out, Yuna Ito is a breath of fresh air. Powerful vocals and a clear voice, furthurmore, she is pretty. "ENDLESS STORY" is a great ballad, perfect for Ito's voice and the good thing is, the ballad isn't cheesy at all. I must admit that "ENDLESS STORY" does not sound like what TRAPNEST would do untill i heard the ending of the song where the guitars kick in.

The B-side for this single is also worth mentioning, "Journey" is a very upbeat, light and poppy song. Very catchy as well.

A must listen!
