An indie group from Niigata, I was lucky enough to see them perform when I went to Idol Matsuri in Washington in 2014. The group impressed me then with their performance skills, and they have quite a few great songs &#8211; as an indie group they&#8217;ve managed to create a pretty solid discography over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Blue is no exception &#8211; I love how mellow this song is without being too slow or boring. It has a really dreamy feel, and that&#8217;s helped by the performance and vocals of the members. I also love the sound of the chorus and how &#8220;blue&#8221; is rhymed with &#8220;you&#8221; and \u00a0&#8220;truth&#8221; (not a perfect rhyme but it works here). It adds to the overall dreamy, mellow feeling of the song &#8211; that repeated &#8220;oo&#8221; sound. The instrumentation also adds to that sound as well &#8211; the acoustic guitar sound works really well here.<\/p>\n<p>Blue is an easy song to listen to and one that I feel like I&#8217;ll listen to again and again. It&#8217;s got a perfect tempo and melody that make it pleasant to listen to when I don&#8217;t feel like listening to something overly hyperactive or overly slow. It&#8217;s also nice to see that RYUTist is continuing to put out great music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;d like to see RYUTist perform again.
