The second solo single of WaT release on April 25, 2007. Come with 2 cover version, Eiji Wentz Awaking Emotion 8/5 or Teppei Koike my brand new way with their song in side-A. This single reached #4 on Oricon Weekly Chart and so far sold 70,007 copies with Teppei Koike version sold 3 times more than Wentz.
As for me I more prefer and like Teppei’s my brand new way single than Wentz’s Awaking Emotion. Eventhough the song are slow with a mid tempo ballad but the music are really nice with the mix of guitar, soft drum beat and a piano. The song also has the variety of sound and tempo with the good of lyrics. The best part of the song are during the chorus and its melody, I feel that its sound so special and Teppei really has done a good job in composing this song. Teppei reveal that this song are dedicated to the Antagonist Eiji Wentz. This song also has been used in the CM of Pharmaceutical Acne with the appearance of himself.
Eiji Wentz’s single Awaking Emotion 8/5 the rock genre song that have found to be refreshing. This song has a great usage of guitar and drum but it still fails to attract my interest, I feel that the tempo are sound the same and Wentz voice are not suit to bring the rock genre song. Even the chorus of this song didn’t caught my interest. This song has been used as a theme song for Gegege no Kitaro movie with Wentz as the lead actor.
For the bonus track of the album, Gegege no Kitaro I found that this song are so sound strange and sometimes funny. Eventhough it not interesting but the song have its own uniqueness and Teppei voice are really suitable for the song.
