Hide-away / Hide & Seek / Find you is AAA’s 22nd single and it was released on October 21st, 2009. This single reached #2 on the Oricon Weekly Charts and it has sold 43,659 copies. With you was used as the ending theme for the anime InuYasha.
Ahem… before I begin this review, I would like you to keep a few things in mind: my opinions don’t generalize everyone’s thoughts on this… single. So if you’re a rabid AAA stan, plz leave.
I’m gonna do this review a little different… because well, you’ll find out why. Okay so, there’s seriously only one redeeming quality on this single, and that’s Hide-away, or With you, idgaf which song since they’re both the goddamn same. Seriously, With you has like… different lyrical content from Hide-away, but that’s about it. Everything about the songs are the exact same. Anyways, I actually like this song and I thought it was a good effort from AAA… despite being extremely lazy in how they went on about this single…
Oh… now we get onto the fun part of the single. Hide & Seek takes a trance version on the song… using the same lyrics, adjusting the melody and changing the way the music sounds. That’s about it, featuring only the boys. Find you is with only the girls and is a rockish(?) take on it. Again, using the same lyrics. Yawn.
And then there are the three horrendous remixes of Hide-away, Hide & Seek, and Find you. At this point, I’m lazy and bored with this single. Honestly, the only relatively good song(s) on this single are Hide-away and/or With you. All in all, this whole single is just a big pile of lazy, stacked up on one another. Basically, go to their earlier stuff, and avoid this single.
