[single] BUT/愛証 - 倖田來未

BUT/Aisho-Koda Kumi

This is Koda Kumi's latest single which was co-released with her third best album, "BEST ~Bounce & Lovers~". She is going to tire herself out with all the constant double A-side releases and her best albums.

That said, this single is ok, certainly not her best and not her worst. "BUT" is a furious dance number that will probably get you moving in no time. But (pun intended), the title to this song is a little dubious considering that she splatters the lyrics of the song absent-mindedly with the word "But".

"愛証" is one of her usual ballads, but sadly, it is one of her weaker ballads. It doesn't really build up dramatic factor like her previous ballad song "運命" or as powerful like "you".

Rating: 3/5
