Senjou no St. Valentine is rough, has a dark feel to it, it&#8217;s more rock-inspired with electric guitar being the the base of the background instrumentation. It&#8217;s not a traditional Valentine&#8217;s song, which is part of what I find fascinating about it.<\/p>\n<p>If you asked me to recommend an up and coming group you should be following, I&#8217;d potentially say Niji no Conquistador, and it&#8217;s this kind of disconnect that makes me like them so much. It&#8217;s a Valentine&#8217;s Day song, but it&#8217;s not in any way sweet or romantic. Instead of lyrics focused on a romantic love, it references battles, rivals, and is much more of a less romantic view of love and relationships than something like Valentine Kiss. <\/p>\n<p>All the members of Niji no Conquistador are excellent and pull off this theme well, and the entire song has a great melody and is produced well. But more than anything this is such an unexpected, unusual look at Valentine&#8217;s Day that I can&#8217;t help but love it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think this will be my last Valentine&#8217;s Day track of the year, and it&#8217;s a bit of an unconventional one.
