Heh, I just realized that when I first reviewed this, my cd player was on "random." Sorry for any confusion about the track list.

1. haru urara
This song starts off quietly with only vocals that are DEFINITELY influenced by Japanese musical style. The whole song has lots of chimes and bells, which serve to heighten this impression. I really like the singer's voice in this song; he handles the high notes quite well, and has a rich lower register as well. The tempo is mid to upbeat, but changes frequently to keep things interesting. I think this is my favorite song on the single, even if it does seem a bit repetitive in places. Other than that, I can't really think of anything else to say. This is a very solid single, and most VK fans should enjoy at least one of the songs.

Nao, the bassist.

2. midare
After much debate about the kanji title of this song, I've settled on "midare." It's more upbeat than the previous track, bringing to mind a tamer version of Due le'Quartz. I really love the guitars in this song, and the melody is complex enough to be satisfying. Again, it feels a bit like traditional Japanese music even though it is without a doubt rock. The song feels a little short at only 3:28, but it's an enjoyable 3 minutes, anyway.

3. nageki no uta (song of mourning)
Kagrra is one of the few true major visual kei bands left. Knowing that, you can expect a very... traditional (?) VK sound from this single. The first track, "nageki no uta" is a slower paced non-ballad with a lot of nice crunchy guitars and prominent percussion. The vocals are very mournful, which makes sense considering the title. Overall, I would say the mood is somewhere between haunting and lonesome. As Kagrra's visual style is called "neo-Japonesque," the song also has some elements that bring to mind traditional Japanese music. It's a lovely song that should please the VK afficianadoes out there.
