There's 15 songs in total so if you count Kore Kara which hasn't been released on CD there should be 9 new songs. So it's a pretty standard album.

Aruko
**********
I didn't expect Aruko to be .. , maybe from a different perception.. a third person 'observer' kind of perception, like the commander's view on akito and his past/present life (code geass akito, movie)

Aruko song was nice too, soft voiced.. I understood the lyric, but I don't understand yet the full reasoning behind each words. Hopefully can listen to the full song soon, the sample seems almost complete.. but I can expect a lot of fangirls/fanboys feelings.jpg

Excerpts from Aruko song:
The start of the song was asking if he/she still remembers about a distant memory of a dream, in a situation of a windy day/night. That he/she wanted to really protect something, but ends up running away.. but it doesn't matter because to wherever he/she went, she will be okay with the given light that he/she brings with.

and also "Sayonara Utsukushii hito yo" hm, this part.. nvm, I'll wait for the full song to understand it better.

Too bad the red one is standard. I would've rather taken that. But I'm not losing sleep over it :)

Loved both covers, it's hard to pick a favorite. She looks very different with the long hair in the pink one, I wonder why.
