Honey, Honey (Live Version)
In the beginning I wasn’t even planning on reviewing Honey, Honey but recently I’ve been listening to it almost too much. The light airy toned chorus kicks of the song after a series of really pretty ‘da-la-da’s from Ayuse Kozue. The real instrumentation doesn’t kick in until the first verse and then it’s full of beats and chimes and a bit of acoustic guitar. Brass is then added and greatens the love that is the chorus. I love this song a lot, SEAMO puts so much personality into the words and Ayuse Kozue has a wonderfully soft, atmospheric voice. The song is addictive and it’s got some very memorable lines which make it all the more entertaining to listen to.
Track Rating; A
The live version begins with SEAMO leading the crowd in the ‘ii otoko ni wa, ii onna ni wa’ lines which makes me smile a lot. Listening to the opening I was suddenly very aware of the huge string arrangement. It’s very prominent here and it’s something that you don’t really notice in the track. Audience participation in a recorded live on a single isn’t something I’ve heard before, so that wins a lot of points. Ayuse Kozue isn’t in this version but the backing singers fill her place in the chorus well. Overall, a typically charismatic performance from SEAMO, even if it is just on CD.
