Hey, it’s my birthday let’s see what went down October 10, 2008

 

Yep, Suna no Oshiro’s PV has been released and from the sound and look of it, it’s just as mysterious, if not more than “still doll”.  I won’t review the song, but right now it’s frickin sweet.

Yep, Ami has officially has told what the album will be called and damn she looks damn fine if you ask me.  Oh did you want a tracklist?

1. TEN
2. can’t stop the DISCO
3. climb up to the top
4. SUPER MUSIC MAKER (SA’08S/A mix)
5. Mysterious
6. change my life
7. LOVE MAIL
8. A token of love
9. TRUE
10. flower
11. ONE

Oh yea BTW, they are all connected too, which is an interesting thing to do for an album.  Now as for songs go I feel very intrigued to listen to “Mysterious” and “TEN” since they stand out while the others could be coupled as a MEG or Perfume track like “flower” = “Butterfly”  Still I love the covers!!!!

I wonder if the single is actually plaid cloth feel because it sure looks like it.  Why did I bring this up?  Yep, there’s a tracklist, so lets take a quick lookie

1. ROBOT HONEY
2. Knee-high Girl
3. Every night heartfull music song
4. SAZAE FUNKADELiC
5. ROBOT HONEY (Sound Around rmx)
6. SAZAE FUNKADELiC (TOKYO IKEJIRI PLASTIC BABE rmx)
7. ROBOT HONEY (digital mp-3 mastering ver.)
8. Knee-high Girl (digital mp-3 mastering ver.)
9. Every night heartfull music song (digital mp-3 mastering ver.)
10. SAZAE FUNKADELiC (digital mp-3 mastering ver.)

Now this is one huge single for this many tracks even though you’ll hear all 4 tracks twice which kind of blows.  At least there’s two remixes.  I do question the 3rd track because litereally, it just doesn’t make any sense at all…and c’mon do already have too many _____Girl songs….I mean seriously…

 

So this is my birthday present?  This is pretty awesome I love it.  I mean a PV, covers, and tracklists galore and I couldn’t be anymore happy…well other than tonight.  Though Oct. 10 is always a huge ass day for some reason.  Like last year I woke up to this.

Kind of a hit miss thing but when Sonic was announced for the Smash Bros. it came at a price that the game was pushed back and delayed….twice.  SO….my b-day is like uber-awesome as you see LOL  Libras unite!

1. 2bfree

Wow, I love how this song rocks out from the start.  ~I have to say shut up!~ is so awesome being the chorus.  I’m already impressed by the first track, which is probably a great thing.  The bridge does quiet itself down a little bit before the chorus that’s loud and furious.  Tomoko’s voice gots some angst in it and it works wonders here.

2. Ready?

Ready? adds some faster beats and a change of sound a little bit to make it like Avril Lavigne’s stuff.  So I’m actually noticing the obvious correlations between the two.  Though, on the album it just kind of slips through the radar because it’s covered up by the other tracks basically.

3. Wait till I can dream

Yeah!!!  I still think this is her best A-side for the era.  It’s got such a rush and Tomoko’s voice is oddly monotone mostly, but it really works.  I still love the chorus and the guitar wailing after she says the title.  Somehow I think her voice is somewhat changed for the song which could be a good thing. 

4. Fell In Love With You

Another twist that happens would be this less hardcore track.  This would be a track that I could hear on the American radios, less it be resung by a different artist.  I think this is the closest song to Tommy February6′s songs minus all that poppiness of it all.  I love the middle of the song where she’s on the brink of yelling her lungs out.  That was pretty cool.

5. ♥Wanna Be Your Idol♥

Back and forth between hard rock and not-so-hard rock.  We return to the harder side of rock songs and somehow the song just didn’t cut it for me.  Her voice seems to be weaker here and oddly boring.  The music is does the song good, but c’mon Tomoko make the song more exciting.

6. +Gothic Pink+

Finally a little change happens and it’s this dark and mysterious track.  Her vocals are given an echo-like feel until the chorus where the song sounds more menacing and very cool.  Tomoko does make some good scary tracks and this would be one of the better ones. 

7. Swear

Continuing on, we get another furious track that was also the B-side for “Wait till i can dream”.  There’s some that’s really freaky about the song, maybe it’s Tomoko singing in a interesting deep tone.  Though I guess it doesn’t really stand out for me because it’s just doesn’t seem to change much.  Still it’s nice to see the song appear.

8. Lost My Pieces

When it first started, I almost thought of Ai Otsuka’s “Cherish” since both have that mechanical sound to it.  Though when she comes in it changes quickly because of the guitar in it.  I actually liked this song for its unusual sound and Tomoko singing pretty strongly.  The chorus was nice and slow which is great!

9. GIMME ALL OF YOUR LOVE!!

Haha, the more fun you have in a song, the better the outcome.  GIMME ALL OF YOUR LOVE!! was on a single and was on a tribute album for NANA.  Obviously it’ll be really rockish as this song is mainly.  Somehow my feelings haven’t changed since the review.  The clapping area is the best part of the entire song while the rest is rather fillerish.

10. LCDD

A song about the infamous drug?  OH….it’s an acronym meaning “Like a Candy Day Dream….yea I still think it’s lame.  The song sounds a little more free than her other rocking tracks.  Though that comes as a bad thing because it just didn’t work for me.  I kind of wished the song wasn’t so bad.

11. Hey My Friend

The closest thing to a ballad is this track that finishes up the album.  Though I’m not fond of these kind of ballads Tomoko does give an alright performance.  I just wished she could have prolly sang more.  Though I guess it stands out being the softest track of the album.

Tomoko’s first foray into the realm of hard rock was alright, I’ve heard better, but I’ve also heard worse as well.  A lot of the songs really sounded too much like each other, but somehow Tomoko’s random vocal properties did make them stand out.  Now, I kind of wished she had more epic songs like her debut had.
