New album is so soothing! I do understand majority can find it boring because there are only ballads and mid-tempo songs; I like it very much though. First 4 songs are great start for that album and the strongest part of it. I've finally loved her previous digital singles, GOOD DAYS is amazing, Sing a Song makes me smiling and C・LOVE・R is adorable in its cuteness. Prologue is such a gorgeous song, wish it was longer and without that instrumental intro... But it's a interlude after all. Verse and chorus don't match to each other though :l But it's still one of my favorites here. HANABI sounds especially outstanding and decently epic here... It's definitely a highlight of LS. From new songs I loved Prologue (ofc) and MERRY GO ROUND; the rest is rather forgettable and weak in comparison to singles, they don't "disturb" in listening though. (however, title track and Epilogue are one of her best calm ballads ever!) I really enjoyed listening to whole and I'm pleased with that release. So much improvement after THANX which was kind of horrible. But why it has to be her last album T^T...
Loved tracks: Prologue GOOD DAYS Sing a Song MERRY GO ROUND HANABI LAST SCENE C・LOVE・R Epilogue Not exciting ones: the rest. I can say I don't like or hate them, I just don't pay attention.

Just listened to the album... an okay, soothing album to listen to and from work (my commute is 45 min one way). The album definitely has a bittersweet tone to it.
Favorite songs: Priority, Prologue (gorgeous!), Sing a Song I dunno if it's any better than THANX, but her voice sounded great in this album. My favorite album from her is her first, Be Happy. Power of Words and the underrated Playgirl are great, too ;P I'm upset that she decided to take the "mid-tempo/ballad songs only" route as she got older. Her strength really was in those upbeat dance tracks like Close to Your Heart and Love is Thrill, Shock, Suspense. For anyone reading this that's new to Rina, PLEASE listen to Be Happy and Power of Words album! Those are her best!! Current Album Rankings: -Be Happy -Power of Words -Playgirl -Air -Delight -Trip -Last Scene -Thanx I wish Rina the best of luck with her health and future endeavors in life!

For me, it is quite better than THANX. Also, LAST SCENE has a deep "thank you, love to my fans" meaning that makes it very touching & emotional. The album beggins this way, in fact. Here are Prologue lyrics in English.
Quote:
My most favorite songs are: Prologue, GOOD DAYS, Sing a Song, MERRY-GO-ROUND, HANABI, 37ºC, LAST SCENE, C·LOVE·R and Epilogue (mainly). It's not Rina's best album (for me it is TRIP, but I must confess there are some albums I haven't listened to fully... like THANX or her first ones) but LAST SCENE is really nice!

I'm gonna check her out. If I really like the album I'll go ahead and download everything else and give it a listen. She seems like a promising artist though. I hope she enjoys her retirement.

Just saw Music Fair performances... DreamxDream and I can't stop my love for you were really short :/ The same with KwTSS. HANABI... was so epic.
I'm loving that song so much right now, it'll probably become one of my favorite Rina's songs ever. I loved the fireworks effect in the screen behind her. And God, her voice hasn't practically changed throughout all these years; she's one of the most perfect singers live I've ever heard. I can't remind her vocals having a bad condition in any performance I've been allowed to see. ...Come back soon, Rina, I'm already missing you... I can accept these mid-tempo, pop-ish, non-electro/disco/eurobeat you used to have songs you've been releasing for last 2-3 years. I just want to hear your voice once again. T^T
