[single] 儚く強く - ユンナ

Hakanaku Tsuyoku-Younha

"儚く強く" is Younha's latest single release and it is the opening sing for the anime "Kiba". Chart postitions wise, this one faired better debuting in the top 20 at 16.

All in all, this is a very good song. The vocals were remarkably good and spot on, song-wise, it was great, catchy and so hummable. The only flaw to this song is when Younha sang the words 'hakanaku tsuyoku', it sounded very mismatched to the flow of the whole song.

But i am quick to forgive cause every other part sounds spectactular. That's a notch up for Younha.

[single] 今が大好き - ユンナ

Ima ga Daisuki-Younha

Frankly, it can be so frustrating when you are a relatively new artiste with rather good singles but not doing as well as you are supposed too.

That is the current state of Younha right now, good songs but bad chart postions. And yes, this single did not do too well as compared to her previous one. In fact, this single did worse.

Bad chart positions aside, "今が大好き" is an OK song, it isn't particularly catchy or anything but it is worth a few spins. Although this single was not released during the festive period, "今が大好き" has a sorta Christmassy vibe to it.

A good follow up to "手をつないで".

[single] 手をつないで - ユンナ

Te wo Tsunaide-Younha

With this single, you can really hear Younha maturing as an artiste. Although this single charted really low in the Oricon charts, it does not mean that this particular single is bad, in fact, Younha gets better with every single release.

Funnily enough, "手をつないで" is a guitar driven song when Younha has established herself to be more of a piano playing type. But i am not worried, this single is particularly good and catchy, the piano can come in another time.

And she dabbles slightly in English for the chorus and thankfully, it sounded like English
