LoVendoЯがメジャー・デビュー!!
元モーニング娘。の……なんて前置きはいよいよ不要になったLoVendoЯ。実り多き昨年のミニ・アルバム2枚と精力的なライヴ攻勢を経て、アイドル視も受容するガールズ・バンドとしての独自性と逞しい音楽性を磨き上げてきた4人が、両A面シングル『いいんじゃない?／普通の私 ガンバレ!』にてついにメジャー・デビューです!
まず“いいんじゃない?”は好相性を証明済みの中島卓偉のペンによる、ハードにブッ込むタイトなロック・ナンバー。鈴木Daichi秀行のウォブリーな意匠もツイン・リードの華やかさにハマりすぎ! 最高か!
一方、つんくらしい詞作も光る“普通の私 ガンバレ!”はシック風のファンキーな掛け声が楽しく、TIFでも映えそうなパーティー・チューン。れいなの役者ぶりも流石です。なお、通常盤にはギターの2人がそれぞれ書いたインストがカップリング収録されていて、どっちもエモーショナルで良し!

LoVendoЯ is finally making their major debut!!
It seems like LoVendoЯ no longer needs an introductory as ‘former members of the idol group Morning Musume。’. Following a very successful year, releasing two mini-albums combined with energetic sequence of concerts, the girls has endeavored to polish their individuality and strong musicality, embracing their given image as an idol as well as a girls-band. This year, LoVendoЯ is finally making their major debut with “Iinjanai?/Futsu no Watashi Ganbare! meaning It’s Fine, Isn’t It?/Ordinary me, Let's give it a try!” a double A-side single!
“Iinjanai?” is a tight rock number that’ll blow your mind, written by Takui Nakajima the singer-songwriter who has already shown great compatibility with the band. The guitarist, Suzuki Daichi Hideyuki’s warbling arrangement matches perfectly with the glamor of his twin guitar lead! Absolutely amazing!
Meanwhile, big time record producer Tsunku shows his skills in lyrics for “Futsu no Watashi Ganbare!” a chic party tune with fun and funky shout-outs, a great show stopper suit for the Tokyo Idol Festival. Reina’s acting skills are mesmerizing too. Furthermore, the standard version CD includes instrumental tracks written by their two guitarists. Both tracks are emotional and great!
