"Must have for serious globe/KOMURO Tetsuya/J-pop collectors."Don't Look Back" features Keiko's voice. The "Don't Look Back/Like a Prayer" CD single uses the same mix with more emphasis on Marc's track. I like TK's use of the "Hallelujah Chorus" within this rock song. It's reminiscent of his use of Pachelbel's "Cannon in D" on "Everybody's Jealous" while he was producing True Kiss Destination music. ('round 1998?) Another nice touch in "Don't Look Back" is the use of taiko style drums. Yes! In a modern-style rock song!"Try This Shoot" features Marc and, of course, lots of Keiko. It's a bit of electronic fun and dance music games. I just about jumped out of my chair when I first heard his voice creaky-chanting, "This, Try this, Try this, Try this..." The song has definitely grown on me."
