I couldnt have typed any of this better myself. I enjoy listening to Countdown. The first word in the second verse I was amazed...yeah I know...its just a word. Anyhoot. Evergreen [dist] is not bad but I prefer the original probably because I understand the words better. In this song I guess from me being used to hearing him singing in Japanese the words sound like Japanese lol. My favorite two from this album are “Countdown” and “Season’s Call”. I even learned the lyrics to “Season’s Call” thats how awosome I think it is. The video is simple as well. Love the beginning of this song where its just the music playing without the lyrics and his vocal ability is good. I havent heard a few of the others. So Im off to listening. Good review.

It actually moved me to tears. *lol* I think it was because of the music's "intensity". But I still like the ballad version, both in Japanese and English. Lovely.

Both versions of evergreen are great, well, AWESOME! Season's Call (newest single) is great, better than Countdown. If only all his songs are in english, I would've appreciated extremely more his talent of creative writing. My opinion: Countdown is not as good as Horizon.

I was well, a little disappointed to hear that Hyde will be working on a solo album since i was a bigggggg fan of L'arc~en~ciel and L'arc~en~ciel Rock; my favorite Laruku songs are All dead, InnerCore, Shout at the Devil, The rain leaves a scar, and Existence. Anyways I listened to Countdown maybe not because I wanted to but when my friend was playing in her mp3player. When I heard it, I thought it was so cool and I immidiately bought the album. I still think it is so cool and I am kinda looking forward to Hyde's new performances. Hyde’s always been one of my favorite Japanese Rock star.

I absolutely adored it, and I went out to buy it, even. I'll be sad that hyde'll be working on this more than L'Arc, but I can't say completely. I've always been impressed by his solo releases. I guess, this is just more of hyde's own talent shining through ^^ This was an astounding single. I absolutely adored it, and I went out to buy it, even.

Hyde's voice quality on this song is just... wow. The song itself is amazingle catchy, and has a nice climax-feel to it, but you can actually feel Hyde's progress on this. Am I mistaken? All I have to say is: hooray for the new single, and WE WANT MORE! Nice reviews :D I have to say… Hyde’s voice quality on this song is just… wow.

My favourite is the evergreen (dist.), his vocal for this song is even better than the previous one, I really enjoyed this song and repeated this song for this 3 times. The chorus part is totally blew me off, that's so attractive!!

I really like COUNTDOWN as soon as I listened to it, it's a very nice rock song with a wicked melody that I find very catchy and interesting. I also enjoyed the electric guitar in this song. Those PV screencaps look very promising, I'll definitely try to download and watch the PV if possible. Just when I thought COUNTDOWN is pretty darn good, EVERGREEN totally blows me away and I'm not prepared for it at all! It's a very nice soft rock (compare to COUNTDOWN) and the melody is again, brilliant! I have to put my hat off to HYDE for singing a full English song with such emotional vocal. Overall, this single rocks my socks! Yes, I'm totally blown away by how good this actually is. ;) Pure awesome, 5/5 for this single! My only complaint is probably the rather stupid cover. :p I’m truely amazed by how good both of the songs you posted are!
