syzkoo1 uploaded a Ryuha-R special about SATOMI's upcoming album and her roots in the music business on youtube. The link is below:

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=lN3bSbwkFlQ

The special is really, really good. It's 10 minutes long and shows a lot of behind-the-scenes footage. They have some footage of her in the UK, her debut in Japan @ midem, and her collabos with Lord Finess and AG. She also sings a little bit of "Bright will"!

"Angelite" is officially on sale!! It debuted @ #44 on Oricon. I really hoped it would chart higher but I didn't expect much since "Bright will" didn't do that good. It could be worst I guess. However, it's just the beginning of the week so there's always a possiblity the album will move up the chart.

In other chart news, "Angelite" is #1 on iTunes JP's R&B album chart!!! It's #20 on the Top album chart.

50 **3,614 SATOMI'

A bit of a drop from Diamondlily's sales but at least it made the top 50! Hopefully, it will stay in the top 100 next week.

So, what do U guys think about the album? So far, I love every song! I think it's more mature than "Diamondlily" was and Satomi's more sure of her style. I'll make a better review later when I finish listening to it^^

My 8th post in a row-_- What happen 2 tha luv 4 Satton?

Anyways, here's my review!

Loved
Baby Doll ~Album version~ - After all this time I still really love this song. It's just so cute and catchy. Baby Doll is probably the poppy-ish song on the album and it's good they put it right at the beginning because I don't think it would have fit anywhere else. The album version is not that different from the single version, they just changed the words in the intro and re-recorded some parts.
What!? - What!? is an addictive club track with a great beat. It's a really good dance track and really gets you hype for the rest of the album. Satomi sounds really strong vocally throughout the whole song.
True to me - I really liked this song from the first listen. Satomi does really well on these mellow R&B numbers. True to me is a catchy, smooth song that just makes you relax. Satomi's falsetto during the song gives it more of a dreamy mood. This one is definitly one of my favorites.
Bright will - I know a lot of people said that it took Bright will awhile to grow on them, but I loved it instantly. It's just a really nice power ballad. I like it because it's something different from Satomi and she pulled it off well. My only problem is that I wish her voice didn't sound so weak during some parts. I know she doesn't have a really powerful voice but it's not terribly weak as it comes over in Bright will. However, that didn't stop me from really enjoying this song.
Because of U feat. AG(D.I.T.C.) - Yet another great upbeat track from Satomi. Because of U is a really catchy song that gets you moving. Satomi's voice suits the song well and AG's rap is nice.
Secret love - I'd call Secret love the Black Coffee of Angelite. It's just a nice, chill soul track. Once again Satomi's voice works great with this kind of song. Enjoyed it from start to finish^^
Drive feat. SHIZOO - After the mellow Secret love, Drive wakes you up with it's pounding bass and addictive chorus. Vocally, Satomi's voice sounds richer, and she shows those that doubt her voice that she can sang on the right songs.
Nonsense feat. Lord Finesse(D.I.T.C.) - From the intro I was into this song. Nonsense is a funky track with Satomi's voice adding a little attitude to it. The rap verse from Lord Finesse is solid and keeps you bumping. Overall, a really fun upbeat track.
Everything - I previewed Everything before I heard the full album version and it really got my hopes up for the new songs. I was not disappointed by the full song. Everything is a really nice mellow R&B song. It has a really random break in the middle that took me a while to get into but it doesn't affect the song's quality. Overall, it's becoming one of my favorite new songs on Angelite.
I remember - Listening to I remember the first time threw I was like "This song is HAWT!". It's very reminisicent of some of the American R&B joints we're hearing on the radio these days. I remember is one of those songs you have to blast to get the full affect of the song. It's definitly one of my favorites. I just wish it was longer-_-
Re: my sista - At first, I didn't really know what to think about this song. It's a nice R&B song and kinda catchy but the "my sista" bits were killing me. However, after listening to it a few more times I started to really like. It's a sweet song. BTW, does Satomi even have a sister?

Liked
Tear - I like this song but it's nothing really special from Satomi. IMO, it's a bit forgettable. The chorus is nice but it begins to drag towards the end. With that said, it's still a decent song.
Blowin' my mind - Like I said about Tear, Blowin' my mind is a nice track and the "Do me a favor" parts are catchy but overall the song isn't special. I kinda feel like I've heard this type of song from Satomi before. However, it still has play value^^
Singin' about you… -lead main version- - I enjoyed this song. It's a cute song and has a nice beat. Nothing too special about it but I liked it. However, it just sounds more like a b-side on one of her singles rather than an album track.
I'll never leave ur love - Another nice ballad but yet again nothing special. I like the backing track, it's soothing. Satomi's voice sounds nice on I'll never leave ur love but it's just not a showstopper. However, I enjoy it and won't have any problems playing it every now and then.

Hated
None :hehe:
As ya'll can tell I rarely hate songs on albums.

NaNa's Rating: 4/5
Overall, I really loved Angelite from start to finish. I think it's equal or even a little bit better than Diamondlily. I enjoyed all the songs and really think Satomi has matured as an artist. Hopefully, she'll release some singles for her 3rd album this year and work with more leading producers in the music business.

I'm actually really happy about Angelite's 2nd week sells. It wasn't as huge a drop as I thought it'd be.

1st week: #50 - 3,614
2nd week: #74 - 2,108
Total sales: 5,722

Not too bad. Lets hope it will be able to stay in the top 100 another week.

Yeah. I think she should have to color her hair in brown. It'd look more pretty!

^ I agree.

Anyways, the BEST album is coming out on the 20th, so only 6 more days!

I hope it leaks few days before. I haven't really heard many of her newer

songs to be honest. Kinda lost interest a little while after her first album came out. :/

I was planning on buying this album but once the tracklist was released I was pretty disappointed. As for the cover, I think she looks beautiful but I have no clue as to what's on her head.

Here is Satomi' performing Miss U @ Music Fighter
