What I must note here first is that I really couldn't bring myself to love You & Me till I heard the orchestra version on A Classical. Kousuke Yamashita did an amazing job there. I loved the album as a whole, but there are few tracks that stand out for me. Also, out of 7 songs that TA picked, the only one that isn't among my favorites is Days, but I really enjoyed that arrangement too. And I actually like that Yamashita-san decided to keep the main concept of some compositions. Can't get enough of the strings in Voyage...
I didn't expect Love Song to be so epic - a very pleasant surprise. I'll be listening to this track a lot. In my opinion, one of the best tracks on the album. Next, I was totally blown away by brass instruments and strings in SEASON. I think I may like this arrangement better than the original one (might be the current A Classical hype though), and Dearest is so soothing and powerful at the same time, the strings amazed me here as well.
