The first Do The B-Side has classics like Wings (Strong Version), Chiriyuku Yuube, CARNAVAL, and Tsurezure Naru Mama ni! From the upcoming collection, I love aurora, HARUKA, Piledriver, and Elegy. Although to be honest, I can't really remember most of the songs on either collection; I think most of their b-sides are b-sides for a reason.

Do The B-Side 2 is such a nice collection. I did not remember how good Simple Minds, I miss you?, Timeless and Bokutachi no Ketsudan were! So many good songs on this release.

Alright, I have just now listened to Lovely Day (before spotify crashed on me ) What are your opinions? I think it is just ok, lol. But it kind of reminds me of Would You Marry Me!

I hadn't thought of Would You Marry Me before, but yes, that's a good comparison. I agree, Lovely Day is just ok.

Lovely Day seems cute!

Been listening to Do The B Side 2 a lot this week on Spotify and I think my favourites so far are Faces, I Miss You? and Aurora. It's so cheap on iTunes too, I may have to buy it when I get paid.

Although Let's Get Together At ANation really brings the album down doesn't it? I hate the effect on Van's voice. It's no Theme of A Nation 03 is it?

^ Yeah, Let's get together at a-nation is an insta-skip.

DAI's official 20th anniversary celebrations are coming! A 20th anniversary special website was opened today, and they announced the first anniversary release, a new rearrange album! No title yet, but the release date is June 5th and the tracklist was announced already!

CD:
1. Desire
2. 遠くまで (Tooku made)
3. 深い森 (Fukai Mori)
4. 陽のあたる坂道 (Hi no Ataru Sakamichi)
5. 柊 (Hiiragi)
6. 科学の夜 (Kagaku no Yoru)
7. ナイター (Nighter)
8. 誓い (Chikai)
9. アリアドネの糸 (Ariadne no Ito)
10. To Know You

DVD/Blu-ray:
Do As Infinity LIVE TOUR 2018 -ALIVE-(2018.05.20 Tokyo International Forum Hall C)

And here's a new photo that came with the announcements:


I know it hasn't been that long since we last got a rearrange album with the 2 of Us releases but I'm really excited for this! I really like the tracklist, I'm excited to see songs like Kagaku no Yoru, Nighter, Chikai, and To Know You. Though I do kinda wish they'd gone the extra mile and done one song from every album (and then throw Hi no Ataru Sakamichi on top of those). I wonder what kinda rearrangements these will be.

The rearrange album is titled Lounge, so I guess that gives us some indication of what it will be like. The album will also include a new song, 小さなヒーロー (Chiisana Hero), as a bonus track!

The covers are gorgeous! The previews got me excited for the album. I was kind of wondering if this lounge-style release would feel redundant with the 2 of Us releases still not far in the past, but it sounds like that's not the case. The arrangements do sound mature, and for me, that mostly benefits the songs I don't like as much in their original versions: Ariadne no Ito, Tooku made and To Know You all sound surprisingly nice in these new versions and I'm so excited to hear them in full! I feel a mighty need to buy this album once I have the money for it.

The new arrangements are gorgeuuos. But there is something about the vocals that I really don't like.

Ryo is really taking a back seat for this release, huh? He’s not on any of the covers, in some of the previews you can hardly hear any guitar...what on earth

Really? I actually think she's giving her best vocal performance in years. I'm actually excited about this release even though I hadn't been before.
