Moshimo Negai ga… is Nami Tamaki’s 18th single and it was released on October 14th, 2009. This single charted at #20 on the Oricon Weekly Charts and it has sold 3,408 copies.

Third time’s the charm for Nami Tamaki, since I LOOOOOVE Moshimo Negai ga…. Since she’s switched, her songs have had a little R&B ting that I’ve noticed throughout her recent singles. Well, this track is full blown rhythm and beats. Not only is it her best song so far, but her vocals also sound more refined and fit really well with this type of genre. Since it’s R&B, there’s various beats here and there, as well as a prominant use of piano. I’m wondering if she’ll try out new genres, go back to straight-up bubblegum, or go back to her Sony style. We may never know, since this year has been a rough one for her music (and my ears.)

Sukiya de ~Itoshii Hito e~ was produced by the hip-hop group ET-KING. The B-side is a little more light-hearted, but it still has an R&B style. that makes it really catchy. I like the chorus since it has a nice build up, and it’s really catchy with the male vocals (which I’m assuming are ET-KING.) It seems Nami is improving every single.

If you got the regular edition of the single, you got a second B-side which is a cover of MAGIC, originally by R&B singer Tina. I haven’t heard the original, but it’s safe to say that Tamaki did this song some justice since it’s really catchy. It’s the most westernized R&B song on the single, thanks to the loud synth.
