It&#8217;s just so cute :D And Mitsuki wants to be a singer, which is just so cute. And I shan&#8217;t be able to say anything more until I actually see it. Although it does have lovely art. But the eyes are so big it&#8217;s&#8230; um&#8230; scary. I like &#8220;Eternal Snow&#8221; the best out of all the songs, I think. Although that&#8217;s only the Route:L version. The normal ending theme&#8217;s too slow. >>; But the Piano Swing Mix is really nice. Lullabyish, maybe?<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention I picked up <em>Memorial Address<\/em> on Saturday? It&#8217;s actually not that bad; I actually like &#8220;Because of You&#8221; quite a bit. The other tracks&#8230; well&#8230; &#8220;Angel&#8217;s Song&#8221; is okay&#8230; &#8220;Forgiveness&#8221; is a pretty good ballad&#8230; the &#8220;bonus tracks&#8221; (&#8220;tee hee hee&#8221;) are quite good choices, actually&#8230; &#8220;Greatful Days&#8221; is an okay dance track. Very poppish. I like &#8220;Ourselves.&#8221; Reminds me a little of &#8220;Evolution.&#8221; &#8220;Memorial Address&#8221; is a minimalist piano ballad. Although her vibrato-like stylings get on my nerves. It&#8217;s not a great finish to the album though. Although, I&#8217;d like to note that although variety is the spice of life, jumping around in random music genres on an album isn&#8217;t a great idea. Even if it&#8217;s only a mini-album.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, look at <em>Easy Listening<\/em>, another mini-album: It seems cohesive. Cohesive, people! Starting off with &#8220;Inori,&#8221; which has a weird kind of almost-trance-but-that&#8217;s-probably-the-wrong-word kind quality, it switches to a nice mid-tempo in &#8220;Blind Summer Fish.&#8221; &#8220;Doreddo 39&#8221; is along the same lines, but borrows a tad from &#8220;Inori&#8221; with the unconventional instrumentation. After all that is a slow song, &#8220;Afternoon Repose,&#8221; which, like its title, takes its time. &#8220;Bitter Sweet&#8221; is just odd and an experiment for Maaya, I&#8217;m sure. Kinda R&#038;B-ish. Not the best track she&#8217;s produced, certainly&#8230; &#8220;Another Grey Day in the Big Blue World&#8221; has a very melancholy sound. It gives us time to recover from &#8220;Bitter Sweet.&#8221; Of course, the album ends with &#8220;Birds,&#8221; which is her best song of all time. *_* Of all time! I love the way it ends&#8230; It gives this beautiful FINISH to the album that &#8220;Memorial Address&#8221; just doesn&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe I just like the pop-rock stylings of &#8220;Birds&#8221; better than the piano ballad of &#8220;Memorial Address.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nation-wide exposure in how many days&#8230;?
