Season's Call [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] Customer Reviews

I was afraid that I wouldn't like a song written by Kaz. I thought that it was strange that HYDE was singing a song that he didn't write himself. But, it is actually really good. I absolutely love it. It is a great song. The DVD has clips from "Blood+" with "SEASON'S CALL" playing.

Hyde's works never fails to amaze me. Needless to say, Season's Call is another great single. No matter how much I found the music odd at first, it stayed in my head and had me put it on repeat for days! The DVD was a disappointment but his vocals made it all worthwhile. =)

Season's Call (title track) is a lovely and refreshing melody that truly showcases HYDE's musical talents. Unexpected[DIST.] (which is equally pretty) takes it's listener through a mystifying journey of synth and echoes. Either song is truly an enchanting experience! A must buy for any HYDE fan.

Every CD or DVD when cdjapan sent email to notify me about HYDE, I will confirm buy it cos of the limited edition no matter how much it cost. It's hard to get else where. The best place to buy you music is CDJAPAN !!!

Ok this song is for sure one of my all time favorite Hyde songs. His voice and lyrics are amazing. Love it!

Three 1/2 is what I would like to give, but anyway... I was initially disappointed with the title track. It sort of lacked originality and depth. HYDE's constant use of 'notverygood' english was also starting to irk me. But after reading a translation and interviews, I actually enjoy it now (but I like UNEXPECTED [DIST.] more), though I still think it isn't in the ranks of HORIZON or anything off ROENTGEN. The dvd was also a big let-down. I pre-ordered this before cdjapan put up a description, so I didn't know it would be a BLOOD+ clip compilation. Of course, it would've been better if the actual PV for the song was on it.

I first heard "Season's Call" in conjunction witht the opening to Blood+. It was a month or more before the single release date. And I listened to it in its short, low-quality format over and over until the single came out. I really like Hyde's solo works but something about this song captivated me. It feels carefree but the lyrics emphasize an undercurrent of longing and bittersweetness. The packaging was, alas, a typical jewel case but the booklets and discs were very colorful and attractive, the latter of which appearing to be printed with Hyde's own art. As a fan of Blood+, the DVD was pretty exciting. The C/W, a remix of the opening track to Hyde's "Roentgen," wasn't too different from the way he performed it for his 2003 "666" tour and thus not new or innovative to those familiar with it. I wasn't, though, so I enjoy it. Although this rock version results in a loss of some of the mystique of the original, it feels like there's more emotion to it. The extra sticker is, alas, completely unremarkable in my opinion. The art is overwrought, a little gruesome, and doesn't resemble the art of Blood+ in the slightest. All in all, though, the price made it absolutely worth it.

Hyde is an exceptionally talented singer and lyricist. He sings his beautiful and touching songs with much passion and tone variations, that would leave any of his fans swaying along with his melodies. This is a wonderful example of his talents. Every Hyde fan should have this in her (or his) CD arsenal.

I'm really glad and excited that Hyde is releasing more of his great music this year. I really do love "Season's Call". It's a very upbeat sounding song, and Hyde's voice makes it even better. Although it is my first 'official' Hyde cd, I am in no way dissaponted. It even comes with a cool sticker, which is the actual obi and is as big as the cd cover itself. I just wish I had a decent place to put it. I gave it a 4 because I didn't really like "Unexpected".
