A masterpiece from his idol days, with an impressive exotic feel and melancholic melody.
This single was released by Jun Hashimoto and Kyohei Tsutsumi. "Half Girl" reached number 4 on the Oricon charts and is considered one of their early representative songs. The B-side is "Coconut Dream," which depicts a summer scene.
"Half Girl" is an impressive track with an exotic melody evoking the scent of the tropics and lyrics depicting the fluctuating emotions of a young girl growing up. It takes a step away from her usual lively and cheerful style, offering a glimpse of mature emotional expression. Tsutsumi Kyohei's delicate arrangement beautifully brings out the vocal quality of Koizumi Kyoko, achieving a level of perfection that transcends the boundaries of an idol song. The B-side, "Coconut Dream," has a light and tropical atmosphere, displaying a contrasting charm. This is an important work that expanded the range of her expressive power.
