Wow, you've been a fan for a long time! I just discovered her this year (thanks DAISHI DANCE!). I knew she was Japanese from the beginning, but I was fooled into thinking she's half-something else and bilingual (like Hikaru Utada, Crystal Kay etc.) because her English is really stellar! Her accent does come out when I listen to her for a longer period of time though.
Her first album really is amazing, I can't get enough of it! I bought the CD+DVD version when I was in Japan and I'm really glad I did, I love the concert footage on the DVD! She seems like a great live artist, great vocals and charismatic performance.
I like that Place To Go is bit more on the mid-tempo side, she doesn't seem to have too many of those songs! I hope this isn't the most final version of the song though, I think some things aren't really in place here, but I like the atmospheric mid-tempo sound. I feel like this is a great autumn song.
Btw, do you have her TASHA gee stuff or have you heard any of those songs? I'd love to hear them but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. :C
