I’ve been listening to mink’s Shalom<\/i> album a lot lately. I like mink a lot, but for some reason I always feel extremely guilty when I listen to her music. I think it’s because I find some of it rather formulaic and almost Celine Dion-esque.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking specifically of “Automatically.”<\/p>\n \u50d5\u306f\u3001\u8ab0\u306b\u4f1a\u3046\u3060\u308d\u3046\uff1f\u8ab0\u306b\u89e6\u308c\u308b\u3060\u308d\u3046\uff1f mink’s English is not bad, although it’s not as good as either LOVE’s or Rie fu’s. Her English lyrics, though, wow–some of them are quite beautiful. Take this excerpt from the English version of “Blessing of Love”: “How can I live without the hope that we\/Might touch the edge of heaven’s light”<\/p>\n \u304d\u3063\u3068\u3001\u3059\u3079\u3066\u611b\u304a\u3057\u304f\u3066\u3001\u3059\u3079\u3066\u304d\u3089\u304d\u3089\u3057\u3066 I picked up a mink single and a mink album from Book Off about a month ago.
