LiSA - Crossing Field
From the album Landspace
From the album Landspace
Widely known for being the first opening theme song for the popular fantasy anime series Sword Art Online, Crossing Field opens to the sound of tuneful piano music, warm drum beats and electric guitar-riffs, shortly joined by vibrant sounding strings and punchy bass tones, all setting the stage for LiSA's strong and attractive sounding vocals. The punchy, rhythmic tones provided by the instrumentation combine to create a entertaining and engaging beat, that grabs ahold of you and carries you along with the flow, whilst the varying intonations in pitch adds depth to LiSA's already stylish and intoxicating vocals.
The dynamic vocalisation and the up-beat, pop-rock sounds blend together to create an exhilarating and engaging chorus, topped off with beautiful backing vocals sung with English lyrics. As the song comes to a close the rhythm slows, as LiSA's vocals are then layered to create an entrancing and melodic sound that caps off the piece wonderfully. Overall, with punchy, rhythmic music and LiSA's superb vocal range, Crossing Field delivers a truly enjoyable and enticing sound, that like most great pop-rock songs should, will have you coming back for more.
Those of you interested in checking out the song for yourselves, you can find the MV of Crossing Field linked above.
