Little that I knew, I didn't pay much attention to Shounen Alice (album).. I mean, it totally drop off the radar. Then I start listening to them again, and said "Oh how sweet this is..
I know right..
Then it was 23ji no ongaku, another lovely piece of music. I personally love fado, it has that "question-n-answer" thing going on..
Purachina totally dropped from my radar, as if I grown up from it totally.. was more into Everywhere, Boku no hanbun, and Buddy.. which are more mind challenging to imagine about. Akai skirt, Kimidori, Yucca, T-Shirts.. were all time favorite.. but were replaced by the newer songs.
Imaginativeness.. aging.. realism..
Then there was the chain-link songs, matters of dreams, daydreams.. which tells a hidden story, within stories. Sidelines of words.. that even the songwriter doesn't wish to talk about.. (lol) I really love them, spend many hours and never regretted even a single one of them.
I even trace out into other neighboring singers, May'n, Miki Imai, Elisa, Meg. Nakajima, SFP, Radwimps, Etsuko.. made it more interesting and vast, like an expanding universe within the mind.
But I still love the songs which said "doesn't fit in any album" the stand-alone types.. which were at a class of their own. So far she only made two. Deep and meaningful, worth to study on.. plus its her original writing, that tells me of whom she really is.. I love to put Tune the Rainbow as the third song, but perhaps it has a special place elsewhere with Everywhere instead.. love songs should always be together.. alone, they must not be..
Listener since 1998, some of the new fans here were still a baby when we started listening ^^
