kisses
Title: I wonder why my favorite boy leaves me
Label: Silent Agreement
A refreshing and likable band. The Marshmallow
Kisses evokes a mood of lightheartedness. The vocalist's
sweet, cute voice reminds us of Japan's Chara and Yuki,
who are famous for the special child-like quality of
their voices. Apart from singing that sounds like a
little girl whispering, the simplistic music style is
combined with clean and uncomplicated electronica, creating
a relaxed and stress free atmosphere, bringing to mind
scenes of fairy tales. The first song leads with a rhythmic
beat, like a little girl making music playfully with
pots and pans, followed by the second song, "My
Dear Giant", a quick light hearted tune with a
male voice joining in duet. This song calls to mind
the dreams and days of youth. In "The Best Days
We Used To Have", the vocalist sings about past
feelings, expressing hints of regret and sadness, although
the happy tempo of the music makes it less melancholic.
Other songs conjure up the happy atmosphere of a merry-go-round.
The album's last song, "French Lesson", is
made to sound like an old radio emitting static, and
the few short lines of lyrics sound like they are being
sung emotionlessly by a robot, suggesting that everything
is but a distant memory.
