I feel you there on Hesonoo ^^. I like the how the chorus effect on Koyomi's guitar is used. It's set so you kinda hear a wavering sound. Normally in Vkei, the chorus effect on guitars are set to where there is no waver. Also the pitch bends Kuro does really give a unique feel. Most Vkei guitarist only bend to get different notes, but Kuro does it to give vibrato. 
The overall feel of the song makes me nostalgiac. There is a french word for this feeling you get when listening to nostalgiac music. Frisson. Every element of this song, from the guitars, to Mei's amazing vocals, really trigger this effect. 

I have a lot of favorite Kuroyuri to Kage songs but my absolute favorite is hesonoo since it's one of the first songs I ever heard by them. It's also a bit different than their other songs since it's slower and I just really like Mei's cleans.
I enjoy their heavier stuff but I'm a sucker for slower songs.

So I thought I should start off with another post like this on my Kuroyuri club. 
So first is Sakurabi, Awaki Samidare Ni. There are two versions of this song and I like them for different reasons. However, let's go with what both have in common: Both are heavy metalcore songs with a traditional feel, and were recorded* with their old drummer, Carua. No one knows why Carua left, but their are rumours that he did to finish high school. 
The old version was originally released as a single, and had a low budget. Shinjou Kasumi bands in general at the time didn't have high budgets, but this kinda takes the cake. However, it's still pretty impressive. Mei's vocals aren't the best (He wouldn't improve until they recorded the first album) but for a band's second single, they're pretty good. The instrument used in this one is a Taishogoto, a kind of harp with typewriter keys, made in the Taisho period. They're also heard on Ningen Isu songs, Sukekiyo songs (played with a bow) and on The Final by Dir en Grey. 
The album version has a better production quality, and shows off Mei's improved vocals. Also what has changed is the instruments, as this time, it just uses a regular Koto. What's interesting is that the studio version uses a Piano in the intro, but the live version uses a Shamisen. Why this is? IDK
*Carua left right before the release of the first album. However, Yue didn't join until the album was released. So it's safe to say Carua was involved in the recording. 
Next is Kinou no Kowai Yume. This is Kuroyuri's newest song, and it shows a definite improvement from their previous releases. This was the first Kuroyuri song to truly impress me since their only full length album. Mei's vocals definitely impressed me on this one, and the song structure isn't as formulaic. If I were to introduce someone to Kuroyuri, I'd use this song.
 
Anyways, what are your favourite Kuroyuri songs? I'm curious.

Very sad to hear about his passing, LP is the reason why I ever got into any type of rock music.
