So excited! So basically she included all asides released since ONE single except Tiny Dancers (which would have fitted on SUN DANCE but it's kinda similar to ONE so yeah)

[Xianghua]

Yay!! First album release for me while being a fan! I like the contrast between the two albums.

I listened to the new single and I like I beg you the best. Not surprising as it was made for a theme song.

The remix of Polaris is nice.

Same here! I'm excited to hear the new tracks as well.

[Baco__]

so I was at a lamenya some 4 days ago and I heard this song that I absolutely LOVED. caught the lyrics, cause I don't have shazam on my phone, googled them and found out it was I beg you by aimer and Spotify doesn't have it. T*T

when will it be released????

EDIT: okay, it was released YESTERDAY hahaha its on Spotify already

[the3ye]

Will both versions have slipcase for previous singles? Or is there one slipcase with more space for another case? ugh

[TeamAyu2004]

I fell in love with this girl back with her first album, but never really kept up. Im glad ill be in japan when this album is released.

[mellody]

I guess I beg you attract more people to know her more, which is good. Also FYI, I think most people already know that I beg you is the theme song for Fate/Stay night Heaven's Feel part II and it's actually written by Yuki Kajiura, the mastermind behind Kalafina (which only left 1 member now) who is also the composer for the movie soundtrack. She's responsible for the previous song Hana no Uta as well.

So, if you like I beg you, you can listen to one of the soundtracks from the second movie here which has the same melody as the song. Just a small teaser though.


Aimer has done 2 songs for this planned trilogy movie installment and I thought she won't release any albums before the last trilogy, so these 2 albums came as surprise, considering she's been releasing 4 singles (3 of them are triple A-sides and there's one double A-sides single, which makes the total of 11 songs) so far.

I guess she won't be providing theme song for the final trilogy then, but yay for the new albums!

Penny Rain is seemingly inspired from Penny Lane, song from The Beatles, don't you think so?

[Xianghua]

One of the TBD tracks (track 10) from Penny Rain is April Showers and you can hear a preview of it here: http://www.earth1999.jp/cm/2019spring_cm-60s/

it is featured in a CM for the clothing store earth music & ecology

-edit- track 3 on Sun Dance is called We Two and nothing yet about tracks 6 and 8 on Penny Rain

[Yoake]

April Showers seems to be a nice ballad as she can do it. I hope there will be some surprises on the albums.

[Xianghua]

Aimer will bring her soleil et pluie tour to China, HK, and Taiwan, and will end in Tokyo:

2019年6月08日（土）Aimer "soleil et pluie" Asia Tour in Taipei

2019年6月14日（金）Aimer "soleil et pluie" Asia Tour in Hong Kong

2019年6月16日（日）Aimer "soleil et pluie" Asia Tour in Guangzhou

2019年6月22日（土）Aimer "soleil et pluie" Asia Tour in Shanghai

2019年6月29日（土）Aimer "soleil et pluie" Asia Tour in Tokyo

new pre-release song コイワズライ (track 5) from Sun Dance



The chorus is really nice, but overall nothing spectacular. Still enjoyable though

Also, track 8 from Penny Rain is called i-mage <in/AR>.

[Yoake]

Good song. The same level that her current releases.

[Surreal17]

Wow, it seems that i-mage ＜in/AR＞ is also available!


She's on a roll today! I only listened to it once but I like it more than the other. I'm glad that there's some variety here

[mellody]

Koiwazurai is basically another Kataomoi and it sounds better and more fun for me. Something that most Japanese fans will like, I guess.

i-mage is another collaboration with Sawano Hiroyuki and something from them is always so good!

At this point, I like Penny Rain more than Sun Dance.

[Xianghua]

So far I like Penny Rain better too.

[Surreal17]

Teasers for all the songs

[Earth_maiden]

I love how the albums are sounding!

Newbie question: are their PVs of Aimer where she is actually in the video?

[mellody]

Definitely can't wait for the albums. I believe it will be available this week.

There's a new track composed by TK, the same guy who did us, but I wonder which track?

As far as I remember, she's never been in the PV. Most of them are just model or actresses. Even before the release of "daydream" album, she always hides her face. The first time she shows herself to public is during the performance of Chouchou Musubi in Music Station. So yeah, before that, she always shrouded in mystery.

[Yoake]

The previews sounds good. The melodies and arrangements are quite conventional though.
