You described the instruments well which I also thought were good but it was very repetitive. I got the feeling that there wasn't as much put into this single as her previous ones, and you can deffinatly see it in the video. I hope she has another single as experimental as this but with more beat and rhythem to catch on to.

Yeah you did depict my feelings exactly. The single was a pretty good one but it was as if it provided nothing new, which was disappointing after such a fantastic single. Anyhow I am glad you are enjoying her releases! Feel free to join the forum, crossover if you wish to learn more about her! :D Hey there Fred. Yeah you did depict my feelings exactly.

I agree too.^^; it's not that I don't like PASIO but it's one of her "exotic" yet a bit disappointing single. I thought at first that the PV was quite connected to the song but I was shocked that it didn't, sad to say. I like "Destiny -Taiyou no Hana / Koimizu -Tears of Love" single even more.^^ True Blue was a bit nothing new too but I still like it. My expression was like when you heard of the song, you'll definitely think that Hitomi sang it. It wasn't out of the ordinary. I like Mahiru no Tsuki even more. XD I like Dragonfly and PRIMA ROSA! ^^ Ever since I downloaded her other singles, I got this craving that I will download all of her singles and albums even though the others are already phased out. x__X But it's okay, though.

I was just sorry that this single was transformed into a generic sort of single when it had the potential to be more unique and sell better. It’s okay.

I know it doesnt offend anyone, i just took my twisted sense of humor too far, but yea, your right. Overall, it didnt have any symbolism for anything. and pertained NOTHING to the song. But it is a nice song thou, but the promotion could have been better... ;) ciao yoroshiku Well rinoa, i totally agree with you… it didnt make any sense, and im sorry for “throwing a fit” i was only joking.

Good for you if you like it. I'm not stopping you into loving PASIO. However this is a review so it reflects my opinion only. Don't be obnoxious by throwing a fit because I'm not crazy over PASIO like you are. I have felt that this single was a step down from her previous releases which were spectacular and had a higher budget in them. Also I don't get your twisted way of thinking. I'm not offending any nationality here. The only person who seems to have a problem is you because I'm not giving a 5/5 onto every song of hers. Oh please. She has sang better ethnic songs and that is why I was disappointed. I'm a huge fan of Hitomi and have been following her career for years, but it doesn't mean I'm going to be crazy over every single thing she releases because I am not another crazy mindless fan. I try to put my feelings for the artist aside when reviewing a single and give a fair evaluation. Many fans of Hitomi have expressed disappointment onto this single and it's one of her lowest selling single. It just wasn't a good release and I'm not going to state otherwise. Plus the package for this single was definately a low budget thing. The promotional video was close to terrible and with no direction. It did not reflect the ethnic and latin culture but had a magician and a fire scene and which was completely random and terribly boring. The covers also did not reflect any culture but had her wearing jeans. And there was minimal promotion. If avex had taken this single seriously they would have given her a more decent outfit selection and a more decent promotional video which would have reflected the single's theme more.

Being dominican, and speaking spanish as my native tongue, this song is truly the link that i needed to introduce other people to hitomi and her voice. the style AND the passion behind it. but to blateantly say that pasio is an irrelevant song. I think not. I favor gate-scena-III and pasio the most BEACUSE of the ethnic feel she has given it. thus proving that she truly IS a complete artist that can sing any genre thrown at her. But seriously man, you offended a couple people with that review. Thou she isnt very known here in this side of the world, i believe that if she would have been, that single would have sold much much more....and by the way, I listen to this song EVERYDAY along with taiyou no wana. so, i dont think you deserve 5 stars on that review... and by the way. "Tsuioku+love letter" is a beautiful song, i agree with you completely, seeing her sing it live in crossover 2 in november was a breathtaking experience....ciao I DO NOT NEED THIS!!!! noo……iv been with you since the beginning, and all of your reviews have been great and right on the money. but really? i LOVE this song, pasio truly reminds me of my own music.

I was very eager to listen to Hitomi's latest single to see - or rather hear - what kind of wonderful installment she had for us. Being unfamiliar with the Latin genre, "PASIO" was actually quite the refresher for me. It had forward motion at the very least. Indeed, I enjoy the A-side of the single much more than the B-side which I feel, unfortunately, lacks climax or any excitement. Despite being more of a monotone ballad than anything else, I'm not convinced that "True Blue" is performed at its peak of potential. Overall I am rather satisfied with how this single turned out!

I'm a big fan of her previous single "Destiny / Koimizu" since both of the song are of exceptional quality, but honestly I'm a little disappointed with "PASIO", especially the PV! :( The PV honestly did nothing other than degrading the image of the song IMO, it's so weird and low budget and Hitomi is like wearing this weird devil suit with fire in the background, I'm like O_O when I first saw that. The magician is also out of place as you said, honestly who wants to watch magic tricks within a PV? -.- Overall, it's just plain weird and really disappointing. The song itself is okay, but definitely not one of her better works. I'm not really a fan of that "lai lai lai" chanting during the bridge. "True Blue" is a soothing ballad though nothing exceptional, it just flows by peacefully without leaving any lasting feeling. I really like "Tsuioku" but I haven't listen to the live version recorded in this single. I bet it must be really good, seeing "Tsuioku" is a great song with nice melody. :) Thanks for such a lovely and detailed review of this single, Rinoa.
