1. KISS or KISS
Weird, the PUFFY sounding song starts out the album. It’s cute and has some carnival like sounds also. Not that I never minded it, but this song wasn’t really my cup of tea though I like how unusual it fits on the album already. Nana sounds alright, though it’s nothing worth writing home about.
2. Kesenai Tsumi
Nana’s most memorable track is the Tie-in for Fullmetal Alchemist. This song has such a catchy beat and strong vocals. The chorus really makes her seem emotional through it and actually to me, it’s true. The pop/rock sound is very cool to this album and Kesenai Tsumi stands out from the in a great way.
3. Rasen
Our 1st new track actually was a pretty awesome track. Though it was more like her voice was getting more weirder, but the music was rockin’. It’s kind of depressing sor of too listen to since of how Nana sounds overall. It’s a pretty good new track. BTW This song is the only one where Nana actually contributed in.
4. pureness
The next rock track is pureness and it still is hard coolest songs in her discography. It has a cool melody and power for this kind of style. Though the song seems short but it’s probably how fast the beat is going that makes seem that way. The interlude in the middle is wo wild and crazy, best track.
5. HOLD HEART
I’m not really surprised to see this next but this song, is just pretty strange from its melody to the chorus itself. To me, there’s something lacking in the song but I’m not sure what it is. Nana’s voice is sort of grating to my ears, it just sounds pretty bad.
6. Alice
Our next new song is a very creepy one. Starts off with guitar and Nana’s quiet singing. Strange it reminds me of Kana lmfao. Then it gets to this bass driven part and thats where we get back to the rock sound of Nana’s. It’s kond of messy though so I’m not surprised much by the song at all. Nice try though.
7. Kanashimi no Kizu
I swear this could have easily been used in a Anime. It just has that feeling to it. It’s a refreshing sound to hear after “Alice” and I’m happy that it’s on the album. It’s her strongest A-side since “Kesenai Tsumi”. One of the better tracks off the album IMO.
8. Utareru Ame
Also being her 2nd single. Utareru Ame sounds similar in sound to most of the album, but this time with some bad vocals actually. I was definitly not pleased in this song and is probably one the least favorites from the album. The music is cool but I would not wanna have Nana singing in it.
9. Fake
Wow, Fake has got some pretty cool synths in it but it still is a rock track. Still is the bad vocals from Nana. I don’t know why she went this way with her sound. Doesn’t she know her voice sucks when she’s squeezing her notes? Maybe she needs to go back to hear lower voice, it’s much better. Fake though is just a filler track to me.
10. Shunkan
As the only B-side on the album, Shunkan is more or less of the same that this song has been sounding like the entire time. It’s rock, but it has a laidback feeling to it. It’s sort of boring to me though, just a rock ballad and not spectacular in anyway. FILLER!
11. eighteen sky
Last track eh? See this is what we needed. eighteen sky is an acoustics ballad. Sounds pretty at the beginning and the chorus is nice and slow. Nana’s voice is actually isn’t terrible which is such a nice surprise. It was appropriate to finish the album with this song and it sticks out from the album since it isn’t hardcore.

Ewwww, this album was like bad since there was only 4 new song on the album. Everything else was singles and a b-side that’s practically 2/3 of the album wasted on stuff we heard already. The album though was definitly a rock album. The only negative is that Nana’s vocals are questionable on each track, so it depends on whether you wanna hear it or not.
