This Week: Chemistry - Floatin'

*Waits for everyone to quite down* Chemistry is now here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Screams coming from left and right* Hahaha take that Kang Ta! (Gomenasai... inside joke). Anywayz down to business. This marks Chemistry's 1st single of 2002. Well first real single since their other release was a remake of a song off their hit album but Chemistry plays it smart. They release a week before Ayumi, Glay, and Morning Musume releases hoping to capture an easy number 1. Hey doesn't Kinki Kids do that a lot also? The single features 2 songs and 2 instrumentals. Yea pretty basic and now let's get onto the review shall we?

Let's remember this is Chemistry we are reviewing. Probably THE best male group vocalist in Japan. They can surely sing but recently we have started to wonder whether or not they can compose. Their last single was next to suck and one could question why we aren't bringing in Hiro instead but we're sticking with Chem here! "Floatin'" is a wonderful medium ballad which is soft on the verses but catchy on the chorus. The rhythm and melody of the song is well done and sung to perfection like most of their songs. We are trying to bring some comparison the their best single "You go your way" but this might be simply better then that one.

HELLA HOT OR HEL... oh F*ck this! HELLA HOT OK! You get the point right? Chem is finally back in their rightful place again which is at number 1 on Oricon and making good songs again! We love this single! It's soft yet catchy and danceable (you can even do the robot to it as well)  too while still retaining their R&B style. If you ask us it's a MUST buy! Don't miss it for a chance! But of course you could save your money for next weeks big release 7/24 but we still think this isn't worth missing!
