Cat's Eye (MAX song)

"Cat's Eye" is Japanese pop group, MAX's 32nd single released on May 12, 2010 through Avex subsidiary, Sonic Groove. It is a cover of Anri's 1983 J-pop classic of the same name.[1] Their version of the song has been given a Eurobeat arrangement, a nod to the group's initial claim to fame.
