“Yoru no Hate” is NICO Touches the Walls’ first single of 2008 and their first major single as well.

“夜の果て” (Yoru no Hate, End of Night) is a very “full” song and a great introduction single for the rock quartet of Mitsumura Tatsuya (光村龍哉), Furumura Daisuke (古村大介), Sakakura Shingo (坂倉心悟), and Tsushima Shotaro (対馬祥太郎).

Complete with Telecaster blaring and Mitsumura Tatsuya’s fervent vocals, “夜の果て” is a loud, emotional song. It’s mixed exceptionally well with prevailing guitar and all.

Mitsumura’s guitar dominates the song’s first verse while Furumura’s guides through the second. Furumura’s erratic solo caps things off near the end of the song’s distinct bridge.

The “夜の果て” single comes with two more tracks: “バニーガールとダニーボーイ” (Bunny Girl to Danny Boy, Bunny Girl and Danny Boy) and “April”. The latter is a slow love song and works as a great cooldown after listening to the title track.

Tracklisting:
01. 夜の果て (Yoru no Hate)
02. バニーガールとダニーボーイ (Bunny Girl to Danny Boy)
03. April

Rating: 8.5/10
