I know some of you guys would like to see the review already but, Please allow me to waste some of your time to tell you a short, little story about this single. Shortly after that story, I guarantee you guys will see the review.

Back in April, I remember seeing an announcement that misono will be releasing a new single… Of course, I was happy and excited because I liked the single she released before this one, namely, Mugen Kigen. Then, just this June, I saw the PV of Ninin Sankyaku on jpopsuki. I downloaded the torrent, completed it and you know what, after watching it, It left me speechless. I think it was perfectly brilliant! In fact, It’s on repeat right now! XD. Anyway, I don’t know why ever since I first heard Ninin Sankyaku, I couldn’t get it out of my head. It was just always there, hypnotizing me to sing it. Well, I wouldn’t really blame myself if I wanted to sing it… It’s misono’s fault! The last time I felt like this was when I heard her 2nd single, Kojin Jugyo. Again, Anyway, enough of that. I think there’s nothing wrong with this song. misono’s voice sounded really good and in condition while the instruments were doing their thing making the song sound so rock-ish. The arrangement was perfect too. It opens with guitars, then, drums come in and later after that, everything comes in including misono. Well, In conclusion, I think misono has done it again. This song is different yet, enjoyable. So, I wouldn’t wonder why It reached the top 10 in the charts.

The Rock Project Medley was just a compilation of her previous rock-themed singles. I have to admit, I’m glad I heard this one because it gives us a recall on what she released and how much effort misono has put to her work.
