I agree, I feel bad for Thelma too... But 10TH DIARY was such a disappointing album, I couldn't like it though I wanted to.
I hope she gets some better material for her next album and goes back to singing with her lower register because I'm not a fan of the style she was using here.

And you reminded me that I hadn't listened to FAKY's album yet! I listened to it today and found it quite good (I liked the first track, Keep Out, the most). I look forward to hearing more from them, they've released a good number of nice tracks so far.
You also made me realise I hadn't heard the AI song you mentioned; I didn't like the album she released this year, so I didn't bother checking out anything she released afterwards. But I tried Kirakira and liked it! Not my favourite AI song, but nice.
I hope you try and like Nana Kitade's album! I liked it enough to buy it twice (on iTunes and later a physical copy
).
