SINGLE

“Right now!”, is what it means. I guess I heard they said `It’s the time to express love more openly and straightforward` when the last single “fantastic world” was released. Thinking of that phrase, I started to listen to the sound of their new single. Here comes sequence of synthesizer, then sound of drum machine and synthe- bass. It was REALLY techno. Am I listening to a right CD? When I just started to wonder, I heard Kumi’s voice. Naoki’s guitar sound is along with the repeated part, and yes, I finally realized this is the DELICO world. Well, whatta’ hell!

The song got back to synthe-world. And I calmed down and could start seeing lots sides of this song. For instance, it’s about the beat. You could say you’d be surprised on the play, but it’s a quite groove if you’d lay down on it. And it coincides with Kumi’s vocal well. Like “LADY MADONNA/Yuutsunaru Spider” and “Your Song”, they have a few songs that begin with synthe-drums, and it seems their skills cultivated on these songs are surfaced. Just like “Right now!” It could be a club music with the quality but they haven’t lost their original style and its groove. From the fact, you could describe them as the best mixer for DELICO is themselves.

And of course the lyrics. The part “What is `right now`?” is the key, and these phrases “Don't hide your way” and “running to the another world” are repeated. They also tell us that there is an another world inside of us putting the words “right now” everywhere. Don't hide your way and running to the another world, right now, this single begins with the song has also “Brown-eyed Joe”, a cool band sound music, and raps up with their gospel song “Everyone, everyone” which is also included in the album “Early Times”

From “Right now” to “Everyone, everyone”. This is calling. They are showing us their another world creating it with their new sound making style, then stimulate the listeners. There are their persuasions from the other dimension, not some empty messages, and you could feel the strength and growth of DELICO now.
