EP Review: Lonely in Gorgeous - Tommy february6 (2005)

Genre: synthpop, j-pop, electropop

Released: November 30, 2005

Length: 16:51 (4 tracks)

Given my love for all things cute, I'm surprised myself that I haven't really listened to anything by Tommy february6. I've heard I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU, and snippets of Lonely in Gorgeous (the track) on TikTok, but otherwise I haven't listened to her.

It was an absolute treat listening to this EP, right away I was surprised by the 80's music influences, I felt like I was listening to some 80's classics and was reminded that this was a Japanese artist every time she sang. The lyrics are so girly and cute! Despite the cuteness of it all there is still a mature image that remains.

Here are my thoughts on the individual tracks below!

Lonely in Gorgeous:

As I mentioned before I've only heard snippets of this song on TikTok, but god does the full song live up! I do feel like the song gets a bit repetitive at some points, but otherwise it's a fun listen.

Is this feeling love?:

This track feels a bit slower than the others on this EP. This gives off the vibes of someone obsessively in love with someone. I'm not complaining though! It seems from the lyrics that it's about unrequited love with someone who is already in a relationship.

E-mail more:

This is by far my favorite. Desperate yearner music you will forever be my favorite <3. The intro is so fun and makes me think of disco music. It makes me want to get up and boogie! This song is so cute, and I can't get enough of the instrumentals. The whole song being about e-mailing really dates when this EP was made, which makes me fall in love with this track even more for that early 2000s nostalgia.

"I'm waiting your e-mail any time At my strawberry pop-station Give me your love words, send to me Give me your love inspiration"

I love the nonsensical lyrics. This is what pop music is all about!

Lonely in Gorgeous - instrumental:

Normally I don't care for listening to instrumentals (ahem instrumental tracks put onto K-Pop albums), but I loved just listening to the instrumental of this one because it is just so fun sounding! It just feels so nostalgic, and I'm glad I can fully appreciate the beats of Lonely in Gorgeous without focusing on the lyrics.

Overall, this was a very fun listen, and I'll definitely be checking out her other music soon :3. I would recommend this EP to anyone who loves pink glitter gel pen k-pop. Tomoko Kawase's image is adorable and chic, and I aspire to be like her.
