Previews on official site. [The audio from the 6 minute preview]

1 Change - Still loving it.
2 青い煌めき (aoi kirameki, Blue Twinkle/Sparkle) - Soothing and kind of midtempo-y.. setsunai melodii waaaa omokageee~~
3 spearmint - Super 90s, haha.
4 忘れえぬ人 (wasureenu hito, The Person Who Is Not Forgotten) - !! Pretty song. This is kind of KIWOKU-y. Kikuchi, anyone?! Forgotten person or something? Best album track candidate here!
5 12ヶ月 (12kagetsu, 12 Months) - I think I'll really like this song. Sounds nice.
6 Heart Rate Of The City (Instrumental) - Haha, this is like... the 90s all over again. GATE #8 with more of an oldies sound.
7 真夜中のハイウェイ (mayonaka no HIGHWAY, Midnight HIGHWAY) - .....wow... uh... isn't this year 2010? This sounds like a demo left over from time to destination or something.
8 DREAM GOES ON - Okayish.
9 スケッチブック (SKETCHBOOK) - BAGPIPES?
10 Snowscape (Instrumental) - Acoustic guitar interlude, relaxing.
11 蓮 -れん- (Ren/Hasu(?) -REN-, Lotus/Paradise(?)) - Slightly upbeatish song.
12 冷たい雨 (Album version) - What's different here? Addition of strings?

For the most part, this album is sounding really cohesive, but I don't know if it's a good thing or not since the sound is just really old for an album called "CHANGE" being released in 2010, haha. To be honest though, the album tracks are waaay stronger than the ones on Door despite being uber dated-sounding. Is Igarashi obsessed with music from the 90s or something? Oh yeah, Mocchi's vocals are niiiiiiice on this album.
