———————————————————————-
Seems like Suzuki wants to explore some new types of dance genres and judging by the title of this single, her focus is disco. (Duh?) I think I’ve listened to enough Ami Suzuki music to judge this: the popularity of most her songs are usually based whether she has a good producer or not. (She contracted to so many different kinds of producers now and then.) I guess I could say that Yasutaka Nakata is an okay producer.

For some reason, it seems that can’t stop the DISCO is the kind of dance song that grows on me. Which is strange since most J-pop dance songs attach to me right away. Maybe because of the fact that it’s disco-ish? Anyways, Ami sings in a lower tone than usual but her vocals still seem strong with all of the laid back dance elements. Overall, I thought the song exceed to what I was expecting…great song.

Looks like Ami already got her screaming habit from this single. climb up to the top is actually in English with some shouting…BIG TIME. And it’s not laid back dance music that’s featured, it’s ultimately aggressive; which also explains for the annoying shouting…Sadly, I couldn’t really get myself to like this song.

Personal Rating: 4/5
