The tune is fairly weak. It sounds like Speed of Light leftover with shoegazey instrumentation. The singing is forced, as if she's trying hard to shape her voice to imitate those cutesy J-pop idols. It is very different than her screaming voice during the Midori days.

Still optimistic about the album, because her singles are usually the weakest, possibly chosen by record company too.

The new album rules! Those "heyhey heyheyhey" on track 5 give me great joy.

I hate the Heys!, remind of NIPPON and Avril.

Other than that, album turned out solid if not a bit stupid.

Better than m@u, not better than the first solo album.

It's possible I like m@u more to start with (as did a lot of it's listeners) but it didn't have a very long shelf life. It's still hardly bad though, it's just not got the staying appeal of Speed of Life (and I assume album 3 too now I'm spinning it).

To me the album sounds like bad karaoke of old anime OPs. And I mean that as a compliment. Definitely a different sound from the first two albums but I still like it, it's a lot of fun.

Honey Bee - BLUE SKY

Took me forever to figure it out, but a lot of songs on the album remind me of this song, or at least this style of singing. Idek how or why I listened to this song in the first place, but I loved it when I was younger lol.
But yeah pretty different from Midori Mariko

I actually like the singer's voice it sounds kind of...plasticy or something? But yeah I'm pretty sure it's a theme for a hentai game so take that as you will. (I seriously dont know how 12yr old me always managed to find music from hentai games but whatever, guess it shaped me as a person)

I do agree track 6 れっつきるみ on the new album has the anime soundtrack feeling.
