Okay, I've finished with Bon Voyage and all I can say is that I absolutely love it. I can confess that I was a bit scared that there wasn't going to be any cute songs on the album but this album sounds amazing without them. Dropping those has made this album really mature compared to her other albums.
Musically album made me think of Kingdom which I overplayed in 2008. I hope I won't end up doing the same with Bon Voyage though (although it's quite hard for me to get bored with the Queen Kuu lol). I really loved all songs on the album too.
CRANK THE BASS and
Let's show tonight were the ones that left me feel a bit weird. Those were unexpected. After the first shock I realized how awesome CRANK THE BASS actually is. Very interesting song. Same goes for Let's show tonight. Sad thing is that it's so damn short. :<
I was also a bit doubtful about
LOADED because I'm not a fan of Sean Paul at all, but the moment I heard this song, it was amazing. I wasn't even bothered by Sean Paul's parts in the song. Unlike many other people here has said, I think those parts fitted nicely to this song. Lyrics are pretty stupid, but since Kuu wanted this album be the "fun" album of the new beginning, I understand it. This song will probably become one of those songs I will listen until I can't do it anymore. :3
I totally adore
Imagine and
On Your Side, the new ballads of Bon Voyage. Imagine made me think of Stay and No Way from UNIVERSE. Very similar to them in style while On Your Side was a bit like Slow. I can already imagine these performed on stage on her next tour. I bet they will be awesome and epic♥
U KNOW(WHO I am) was a awesome closing track for the album. I was left with a uplifting and good feeling with a bit of sadness because the album ended. I can also imagine this being performed in the encore part of her concerts. It's very unique for Kuu to close a album with a song like this but I don't mind because it's also a nice change. I also think this song is like a definition of the whole idea. It's probably the most uplifting song on the album apart from Dreaming Now!
I won't say anything about
SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA, LOL, Winner Girls, Go to the top, Koishikute, LALALALALA, TOUCH DOWN and
Dreaming Now! because I've already told everyone that I love these songs. Before I heard SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA though, I was sure that either Go to the top or Dreaming Now! will be opening songs for the album. I was wrong. Completely.
But they are perfect in their places on the album. They don't feel out of place to me. Nor does Koishikute and LALALALALA either. Actually I love the Imagine~Koishikute~LALALALALA part quite a lot.
I would have wanted darling (from Go to the top) to be included on the album though because that song is just pure genius. It would be made that part even more awesome. Darling would have brought a very sweet atmosphere between Koishikute and explosively energetic LALALALALA tbh. But maybe it's better if it stays where it is. It's a perfect reason to play 2 million plays for GTTT single. x3
I also find it hard to choose the top favorite songs as of now. I can just say that LOADED, LOL and CRANK THE BASS were the ones that caught my attention the best. And intro + interlude ~Bon Voyage~ were awesome♥
5/5
Because it's just so awesome and different in my ears than her other albums. It's awesome what dropping cute songs can do to this girl. It makes her actually even more amazing than ever before. And this comes from a girl who thinks Kuu's the only one who makes amazing cute songs. :p

Every artists need to be cheered up.  |
Trust me, I would have bought everything already if the albums weren't so damn expensive for my budget. I need my money for other things though, sadly. :/
