KMC = Korean Music Countdown. It was on the International Channel before it became AZN.

Atlantis Princess is a Korean BoA album. I liked the title track from it.

I think I did take the first step the other day though; I was in the kitchen washing dishes when "Growing Old is Getting Old" came up on my playlist and I was kind of blown away for the first time by the song. Sometimes listening to a good song amidst other styles of music really makes you hear it in a different way.

I was sort of looking for a new Lazy Eye too, and was a little disappointed when there was nothing like it on Swoon. That's not to say I think any of it is bad; I'm very pleased with pretty much everything this band has done, aside from the two bonus tracks from the Japanese Carnavas release. Those really just bore me.



Also, nice taste with the Misako Odani. Have you heard "Tereru You na Hikari"? I have an .avi of the music video (which is pretty simple but nice to watch), but I don't see it on youtube - at least not romanized. She's in my top 5 of Japanese musicians.

I agree it's hard to pick between the two albums, Fluffie. I can see myself going back and forth between the two for my favorite pretty often. I think Swoon is slightly more playable for me even though both albums have a similar sound. I like more songs on Swoon, but Carnavas still has my favorite songs (Lazy Eye and Dream Tempo). Have you listened to Pikul? I haven't yet, but I'll get around to it.

I love Odani Misako's voice so much. I feel like I cheated a little though because the song I posted is a Yuming cover. Still, it had Tabuchi so I had to use it. I'm in the process of getting all her albums (some are OOP) to share with everybody in my next farewell. Which one is your favorite? My favorite song is the version of Tokyo with Tabuchi and Eastern Youth. The original is on her out of print Out album while the other version is on some compilation album.
