Although I came to GACKT's 小悪魔ヘブン [Koakuma Heaven] skeptical that this could really be the true Gackt, I was glad I trusted my intuition and picked up KH. This single can best be described as "pachinko pop", all glittering pink and purple girls 'Hai!'ing around Gackt's altered vocals.
Koakuma Heaven is a perfect dance track, but despite its happy-go-lucky dance-ability and catchyness, after several listen-throughs you will recognize the layers of depth and double-meaning that Gackt is renowned for.
Undoubtedly one of his best of the year so far, Koakuma Heaven is catchy and irresistible enough to hook newcomers, and yet still as packed with the thoughtfulness and quality of the long-standing Gackt pieces we veteran fans expect.
