Misia – Catch The Rainbow [3rd Digital Single]

September 1, 2008 at 5:03 pm (Misia) (Misia, Oricon Year 2008 Singles)

Misia’s 3rd digital single, entitled Catch The Rainbow, was released on 08.30.08.

The song begins with her name being said as the cool dance instrumentation comes into play. There is a really sweet and fun feeling that comes through the music that keeps the listener interested. Misia then comes in with the first verse and her vocals move with the music well as there is a deepness that soon leaves when she shows off her vocal talents. The transition into the chorus is so subtle that it’s almost hard to differentiate the verse from the chorus. However the listener is so entranced by the amazing instrumentation that it doesn’t come across as a bad thing. Closing the song is more instrumentation, which is the perfect way to finish this song. Catch The Rainbow is a fun dance song, definitely worth of praise.

In order to promote the single, a PV for Catch The Rainbow was made. The video is very simple as it features Misia singing the song with colorful banners running across the top and bottom of the screen. Some of the lyrics are seen as she sings them and she looks very pretty so it matches the rainbow element of the song. It’s a nice watch and it fits the song well.

Single Ranking: A

Catch The Rainbow is an addictive song because of the hot instrumentation. Misia’s vocals then bring the song to life, really capturing the listener from beginning to end.
