Media coverage reviews, etc.
This third single was released just three months after vocalist Rami left the band due to health reasons in June 2012, and announced that Re:NO would be joining as the new vocalist in August.However, it is a work of such perfection that it is hard to believe that the vocalist has just changed, and it is a suitable work to kick off the new Aldious. With Akihito Kinoshita (SABER TIGER) as a co-producer, the sound has been further improved and Re:NO's stately vocals have been added, creating a truly "Ultimate Melodious" sound. Since the new group self-covered "Deep" from their 1st album, it will be an important work as a bridge between old fans and new fans. Their fresh start as they aim for even greater heights begins here. -(Akira Yonezawa) -- Geki Rock Magazine (November 2012 issue)
3rd single with a new vocalist. 1 matches Ardias's typical fast pace and melody, while Re:NO's clear, pop & catchy songs give it a fresh appeal. On the other hand, Coupling 2 has a new mid-tempo loud/heavy taste. 3 is a remake of a popular past song sung by Re:NO. -(Shinya Ueda) --YOUNG GUITAR (January 2013 issue)
