KikuoWorld3 is a unique album that asks for your time and doesn’t waste it. First things first without a doubt this may be one of my favourite works for Kikuo because as the name suggests, the listener, is taken around the world and feels the life in everything from a bustling city to a small jungle all while using only one phrase throughout the album – “Sight, Noise, Life, and the Earth”. As for multiple listens it won’t happen a ton since it’s a 38 min track and all xP. Looking back at it as a whole my interpretation of the album goes as follows: Beginning: KikuoWorld3 sounds like it starts with the construction of the world (similar to “Kara Kara Kara no Kara” from Kikuo Miku 5). I believe this is the case because of the mechanical tone and rough basses that are absent for most of the album. Middle: This is where the world tour takes place. End: The album ends with its soothing lyrics on repeat.
