Why would you be scared? They're a relatively "warm" band with a mediocre videogame fan following.

Sales of 5k would be amazing.

Album track commentary:
Prologue -Earth Rise-: I've been waiting for this track. XD It's basically the track used at LIVE EARTH before and after she performed Heavenly Star / Breeze, I believe. Love it!

Intermediate -Orbit Swimming: Sparkly. It seems to mix a bunch of vocals from the new album tracks.

I will: Mmm! Funky sort of Daft Punk-lite sound! I love this sort of thing. Lyrics are some of the strangest in terms of grammar from the team behind Genki Rockets, but eh. They're Japanese people writing English lyrics. I'm sad that the girl from the USA who is Lumi doesn't proofread. XD

Star Surfer: OMG. The waves in the beginning are so soothing. Introduction instrumentals are sort of peppy and an electro/acoustic mix. This song is kinda like Heavenly Star's slightly less pretty twin. I used to think the verses didn't fit the chorus, but the chorus is just more energized as opposed to the more laidback verses. D: The bridge in this is so trancy. LOL.

Never Ever: OMG SAD. :[ I didn't really expect them to have a ballad like this sort of thing... piano and synth strings only. Wah! Makes me want to cry. Definitely my favorite track on this album. English -> Japanese is too Angela Aki's "Kiss from a Rose" for me. D: I LIKED IT IN ENGLISH. Oh well, BEAUTIFUL ANYWAAAY. LOVE ITTTT. THE STRINGS ARE SO GORGEOUS <3333

Fly!: Oh no, it's starting out really American. WOAH WHY IS HER VOICE SO WEIRD. "I'M FEELING FRESH IN THE CLEAR BLUE SOMETHING." Seriously, what the heck happened to her voice? It got really nasally. Okay song, but definitely not as good as some of the other tracks.

Star Line (Japanese Version), Breeze (Remixes): It's so strange hearing it in Japanese. I like it though. Seems like it was written in Japanese first and then switched to English.. D: Remixes are as hot as you'd expect them to be. Breeze is just so amazing that it doesn't matter who remixes it. Woah wtf, LATIN SUMMER AFTERNOON? XD

I disliked how they put the single tracks first and then the album tracks after, it should have been mixed. Plus, Orbit Swinging was way too long imo XP

But it's an all around good album, I LOVE Never Ever <3

Most debut artists tend to stick the album tracks last. I'm guessing it's so that the singles can get their time, and also to have them easily be previewed in the CD shops..

BTW, the album is now #12. A small drop, but I hope they sell a bit more!

I wish the concert was better.. :[

They show like a few minutes of Heavenly Star then cut out, then they show Breeze, then they show some remix of Heavenly Star where she's like "Fllly---flyyy!!--fllllly!!!" and then it's over. XD I think they just took the HQ HQ HQ Youtube clips and put them on the DVD.

Omg, Ew, that sucks DX. Do you think there would be more concerts in the future? I hope there are , and not just a little projection circle thing.

It's always going to be the projection circle thing. Lumi can't exist on Earth, and she'll probably never be on Earth.. D:

At least, I think so. That seems to be the point of Genki Rockets..

Well, I think their marketing thing is that Lumi is "real" but she's in outer space, so she can't physically do a concert. D:

^True, if she was born in outer space she couldn't come to earth logically, the gravity of earth would CRUSH her XP
