I-RabBits ロンリークライマ (ronrīkuraima) ー Official MV

Mini Album - 10 DEARS (Released 2015)
Translation: Lonely Climber
Record: illustrate Records
Duration: 3 minutes, 59 seconds

Music Review: This song is an instant classic with brilliant vocals, guitar work and piano pounds. The music video is actually good and kind of has a theme to it. I have never seen so many pianos drop out of the sky! lol...

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

I-RabBits「シャインクライン」(shainkurain) ー Official MV

Single ( Released 2012) / Treasure Forever ( Released 2013)
Translation: Shine Klien
Record: TOWER RECORDS & IMC limited / I-RabBits / Village Again
Duration: 3 minutes, 50 seconds

Music Review: This song is a ode to how a live band should sound. Superb composition and very well conducted. The whole rhythm flows fantastically throughout the song. Just the Guitar solo at the end lacks the punch. The music video brilliant and captures the mood of a live performance with fans going nuts. It also has some shots of the band getting ready for their performance back stage. Neatly captured and well presented. This is one song that you should definitely "Turn it On and Play it Loud".

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

I-RabBits 『未完成なあいのうた』(Mikanseina ai no uta) ー Official MV

1st mini Album『I LOVE IT』を発売する (Released 2011)
Translation: Song of unfinished aisan
Record: We Love Records
Duration: 4 minutes, 01 second

Music Review: Maiko really stresses the words which is not really pleasing. Could have been normal. The music is soft and pleasing. Drumming is nice and slow. Guitar work is good and the bass shines through. Another Graphic eyewash in terms of the music video with Maiko's square going up and down like an elevator! I honestly what the was the whole concept of this music video, but its colorful. The only big minus in this song is the last 5-10 seconds where they kind of do some jam that is a total disconnect from the theme and is disappointing. So for me the song ends 3 mins and 41 seconds!!
