Aice5 「Get Back」 Single Impressions
I picked up Aice5’s single “Get Back” today as part of my quest to obtain that elusive Horie Yui autograph. Step one is complete, now just to wait until May 24 for step two.
That’s not to say that I did not intend to listen to this single at all. I have and I quite like it. When they announced that Hocchan was forming a new seiyuu unit last year I wasn’t sure if it was something I wanted to follow. I didn’t know much about the other seiyuu and even less about their singing ability. So it was with a certain amount of risk that I reserved both the “Get Back” and “Believe My Love” singles. However with an autographed cover up for grabs I figured the gains outweighed the risks. Now that I’ve listened to the single, I think the risk may have paid off.
The style for “Get Back” is Jpop/rockish and there’s no real complaints about singing quality. (There was one cringe moment, it’s not so bad on subsequent listens.) Kanda Akemi, Asano Masumi, Kimura Madoka, Horie Yui and Takahashi are all capable vocalists and they harmonise pretty well together. All of which makes “Get Back” fairly catchy from the getgo. Too bad there’s no CW song to sample more Aice5 harmony but the single was only 700yen so I can’t complain. Two weeks to “Believe My Love”!

I thought “Get Back” was pretty generic :p
But nevertheless, the tune is quite catchy ^^ It’s good enough to make me interested in hearing what “Believe My Love” is like :3
