[Kacku]

I listened to her debut album. It's really good!! She has a really distinct style so the album feels very cohesive and it's really solid throughout. I feel like the album also stands out in an interesting way where there's a kind of tension that runs through many of the songs but never really gets released: the songs build up, but she never goes all out in a blaze of explosive rock to release that tension. I'm not saying this as a complaint, it's an interesting feature of the album that kept me focused, she plays with the tension and intensity very well. I would have liked a few more songs that instantly stand out and grab you, but I think the songs that didn't do that have potential to still grow on me. My favourite songs were Round and Around, Nightmare (!!!), Sora no Parade, BANQUET, and Don't Let Me Go.

Also, she's only 18 years old? Damn. Good for her that she's making good music at such a young age, I think this is a debut album she'll be able to look back at with pride later in her life.
