They are quite lovely, actually. The one thing I could live without is that tear-jerking "nagareboshi" in Sekai wa Yami de Michiteiru, that song needs to have some pretty great lyrics to make up for it. [Thank you for the translations and notes, Cayce, eagerly looking forward to the rest!]crossparallelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731017836081721370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-7790153694366717472014-06-10T19:59:04.561+09:002014-06-10T19:59:04.561+09:00Just give them time.

I must say that it was a bit harsh: Sakurai is in top form and the music is detailed and well rendered but my impression remains that while exploring a new genre with each new album, here they are so far from their habits that Imai struggles to break the mold from bland classic melodies. I find is especially true in the first half of the songs, then it gets better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-22457168789613314522014-06-04T20:45:39.274+09:002014-06-04T20:45:39.274+09:00Ah, to live in Japan.Ah, to live in Japan.ScarUponTheSkynoreply@blogger.com
