I love Sakamoto Miu so, so much. So, I was thrilled to hear her in her element with Precious Memories. She took something globe and made it brand Miu.

Sadly, most other covers were not as thrilling. I did like Ayu's cover, but I think TRF and hitomi did the upbeat covers far, far better.

I really, really appreciate that TRF put so much power into wanna Be, and I love that hitomi captured the disenfranchisement in the lyrics while still doing a dance version of Anytime.

Koda did a decent job, but Wanderin' Destiny just wasn't as memorable as other covers.

And, just for the sake of globe being a female-fronted band, I wish they would have brought in more female singers for this compilation. Like actual singers. I would have loved to hear covers from Ai Otsuka, YUI, YUMI, ayaka, and others. It would have better represented globe.
