The result isn't bad, and though it doesn't break any new ground stylistically, it makes a good show of the half-urban, half-pop aesthetic that takes over the J-pop charts every summer (and in the case of Greeeen, for the rest of the year as well). The following track, "Mata Ne," gives the boys a chance to show off their singing side a little more fully, with essentially no rap infusion (though there's a bit of half-sung work in the bridges). There's a strong sense of summer to the music here. Their mix of happy pop songs and mildly hip-hop infused R&B met with the expectations of their newfound fanbase well, with tracks like the frantic opener, "Sun Shine," mixing higher-speed spoken deliveries with airy, major-chord riffs. Stepping up their assault on the Japanese airwaves, the dental students of Greeeen released A Domo Ohisashiburidesu in 2008 to wide acclaim. ![]()
