Although this single’s kinda “old” i still want to talk about it as it deserves to be bragged about. xD

1. This Love
2. 自由の足跡 (Jiyū no Ashiato, lit. “Footprints of Freedom”)
3. Kiss From A Rose

   “Kiss from a Rose” cover

   The title track, This Love was the 3rd ending of Blood+ anime. It is to me, the BEST ending for that anime, the lyrics and everything else fits the mood of the anime. And having found this song from the anime, i was amazed and still am, i just don’t get tired of this song. There’s a sense of mystery and grief as it opens with mellow piano chords. Angela sings this song with passion, like she always does with other tracks, but the moment she bursts into the chorus, it really captures my heart. At the very least, it’s as if someone trying to release its painful emotion. The percussion band really does put more depth into the track, which i think would sound pretty mundane on its own. A very solid single.
   
   Jiyuu no ashiato, 2nd track begins with continuous piano keys but it doesn’t sound dull. Instead it makes you keep going on and on with the track until the chorus arrives beautifully as she belted them out with angelic vocals.
   
   Kiss From the Rose, a cover of Seal’s original track, features only Angela with her piano. it may sound more personal and calm that way. she sings in Japanese for the first half, then English in the second half. her version is slightly different from the original, as in she speeds up in certain parts rather than following the actual timing. You can say that this is sung from a woman’s perspective. What i liked is how she plays the piano towards the end.OVERALL: 9/10

   This Love itself is a solid track, and with the addition of 2nd and 3rd tracks, does make this single worth enjoying.
