2008 年 06 月 24 日 付 #19
2008 年 06 月 25 日 付 #23
2008 年 06 月 26 日 付 not in the top 30

ohh this is bad. :(

people will definitely buy the album

let's hope, lol. :P

I pre-ordered the CD version, this time none of the PVs were amazing, sadly. I am hoping the album tracks are all crossover.

I think I'm going to buy CD version :love
I have a sudden love for her, and I want to buy it! :)

And also, I really like the cover.
I hope there are more songs like 愛の詩 and 泣きたいなら, because I love those songs..

I agree, those are good...but if she has too many of those type of songs, she isn't going to sell well, so I think she might need to strike a balance.

Yeah, you're right :)
Maybe a few new upbeat songs would be nice. And I'm sure there will be some :D

just saw this

Heavenly's a cute tune that's kinda like.. old J-pop. I like it.
Start is kinda like J-RnB or something.. I dunno how to describe it. Funk? XD
Ame... is as cute as as I remember it. Don't get why people hate it. D:
Dita is a midtempo "sultry" song.. "Dita say, c'est la vie." XD~ interesting.
Shinku is exciting. Typical Shimatanipop though.. like FALCO and stuff.
Nakitai nara is a beautiful ballad. Despite being part of her grandma-era [now]... it has a very lovey-dovey sound to it. The strings make it very K-DRAMA-esque..
Dear.. is sort of tropical sounding. Like, the rhythm and melody makes me see a beach or maybe Shimatani on the beach singing with a Hawaiian band or something. XD
Taiyou no Flare... I really like this song! OMG. It's so upbeat. It fits the title, and also could be an anime opening. I think this and WAKE YOU UP are the highest points of the album. :o
WAKE YOU UP... typical upbeat opening fare. It's the opening to the Keitai show right? I love these sorts of songs, but I'm sure fans expect more from her. :p Sounds sort of American though. :o
Shake it up! is somewhat upbeat... with a sort of exotic flair to it? I don't know how to describe it..
Neva Eva has a retro feel to it. I think it's those horns in the background. XD
Marvelous ...Shimatani bubblegum pop? XD AMBITIOUS! I LIKE ITTTT. It seems that I like all of the upbeat stuff on this album. :D
Ai no uta (strings) Very pretty. Showcases her voice very well against the piano and "strings"~

01. Heavenly - hmmm I was expecting a grand crossover opening..or a big ballad...so...not excited for this
02. Start - O.O...this sounds different..I hope it's gd
03. 雨の日には　雨の中を　風の日には　風の中を - LOVE THIS :)...nice to listen and hum to..haha
04. Dita - Whoa...really jazzy latinish...different again...its ok
05. 深紅 - Quite certain the BEST song in the album
06. 泣きたいなら - its ok but not memorable...very gd emotions
07. Dear... - its ok...not memorable...
08. 太陽のFlare - I KNEW I can have faith in her "taiyou" songs...this wan is nice too!! haha
09. WAKE YOU UP - I like this..
10. Shake it up！ - Ok...same like Marvelous
11. Neva Eva- LOVE THIS TOO XD
12. Marvelous - Not bad...its nice to listen...
*Bonus track
13. 愛の詩＜Strings version＞- its ok..never really listened to it most of the time...

I learnt not to trust her previews after PRIMA ROSA which had great album verses to go with its chorus

Heavenly, Dita, and Taiyou no Flare are my favourite from the previews. And the singles were great already so I'm pretty much happy with how this album is sounding :D

i'm glad you guys like the previews. i hope i'll like them when i listen later. :)

I can't believe the single got barely over 4k and didn't even make the top 20 xD
