It was a little over a month ago that I was turned on to no3b with their Tane single. It’s definitely worth picking up for “Girl’s Talk” alone you haven’t already checked it out. In our review of Tane I mentioned that the female trio had a new single coming out in November, and I was eager to hear some more incredibly catchy upbeat J-pop.
Well, no3b (who also go by the name “No Sleeves,” and are apparently an off-shoot of AKB48) is a new group, so perhaps I was naive to think I’d be getting more of the same with their new Kiss no Ryuusei single. That’s not to say it’s not good, but the title track definitely sports a more mature sound compared to “Tane” and “Girl’s Talk.” Would you be more interested if I told you it reminded me of Castlevania?
