[single] 唇からロマンチカ/That's Right - AAA

Kuchibiru Kara Romantica/That's Right-AAA

AAA have certainly done their homework this time, taking a leaf out Christina's album, AAA decided to throwback to the 40's swing with their latest release.

"唇からロマンチカ" is a very horn/trumpet heavy song that feels very 40's Broadway swing era. Similar to Christina's songs on her latest album but not as genre-heavy. While this is definitely not the kind of music that AAA would do, it brings a nice change of pace with a refreshing song.

"That's Right" is probably what AAA would normally do but it fails to capture what AAA is good for and that is catchiness. Song-wise, it is forgettable and once again, completely over-shadowed by "唇からロマンチカ".

In any case, this single has a spanking cover!

[single] Get チュー! / SHEの事実 - AAA

Get Chu!/SHE no Jijitsu-AAA

The great thing about AAA is that they come up with great feel-good, uptempo and sugary (not the overbearing kind) songs. And this is no exception.

"Get チュー!" is a great, great, great fun pop song that is guaranteed repeated spins and will be stuck in your head for days. The vocals aren't that great, but hey, they are a band. What do you expect? I can't emphasize how great of a song "Get チュー!" is, so just hear it already.

The second A-side, "SHEの事実" is OK, a tad bit generic for my taste. The problem with this is song is that, it is completely overshadowed by " Get チュー!". On it's own, it actually sounds good enough. But i am leaning towards " Get チュー!".
