For the third time, once again, Mami Kawada got to write the lyrics for Ray's song. On Ray's past two singles, Mami wrote the lyrics for the B-sides. This time, however, she was now in-charge for the A-side. Here are the credits for Ray's 3rd single.
01. Recall
Lyrics: Mami Kawada
Composition and Arrangement: Maiko Iuchi
02. Souyoku no Etoile
Lyrics: Kiyomi Kumano
Composition: Ozaki Takeshi
Arrangement: Ozaki Takeshi & Nakazawa Tomoyuki
03. Recall (instrumental)
04. Souyoku no Etoile (instrumental)
Recall is used as the opening theme to the anime AMNESIA, and the single is slated for release this February 6, 2013. Apparently, this single is still I've-produced. At this rate, Ray might be better off as an official I've girl, but then again, this may only mean I've further expanding their horizon.
At least, after starting in anime with songs written by KOTOKO, Mami's finally passing the torch and has written lyrics for an anime song which is not her's. Let's hope that this is the beginning of better things from her. Her birthday's just two weeks away, so I'm hoping (and praying) that my predictions for her will come true. It would be interesting if you could review the single. If Ray becomes an official I've girl, that would be somewhat comforting, since MELL's practically gone (we haven't heard from her in almost two years), Kaorin's slipped of the radar (I think, she was never popular to begin with), and LSP still have a long way to go with maturity, so Ray could be their next big singer.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I created LSP and Ray's articles on Wikipedia. Must have been the Mami Kawada connection.
