She suffers from every song sounds the same syndrome (AKA Kornitis)

My favorite BP tracks at the moment are:
Only for Him Hickey Hickey Bubblegum Friends, Aren't We? You Are Blue, So Am I Sleeping Child Love is Bubble 5 More Minutes Daisy Not Ready Hang Glider Sweet No One Like You Farewell Alcohol River Mad Afternoon April Shower And the best part is none of them sound the same!

Yesterday I watched the Golden Tears DVD and today I listened to Just a Girl. It never really dawned on me how bitter some of the songs on Just a Girl are. The title track, Sweet and Building a Castle in particular. Sure she has other downer songs, but these sound like she was going through a desperate stretch.

Yeah--to me she kind of alternates between breakup albums and happy-in-love albums. And a lot of the sentiments are really bitter!

I don't agree....but she cannot NOT say the song title within the song more times than not. I've heard people say the same about early phase 2. I feel it's just that her style is just very recognizable. I didn't care for the self-cover album much or Dear Dairy. I started listening to her around Golden Tears and I recalled the wave of emotion I felt the first time I hear Cotton Candy. It does seem to be a trend of "FUCK YEAH LOVE IS GREAT" and "the days are long, the night is dark and I can't fucking stand experiencing any of it" tones to her albums. I really like her songs were she is just rambling about human interactions from her earlier albums. kako to genjitsu was really eh to me when I first heard it back in 2006, but then 4 yrs later I would listening to it at least once a day Asada seems like she falls in love real hard when she does fall. She can't write without having a strong feeling about whatever the subject she choose was. I think she really enjoys writing in English more though. I however don't think she can express her sadness well with it. I don't think their will ever be a another English song from her like Evil and Flowers or Kingyo.

Well, with Ringo seeming to go on a hiatus, I'm going to listen to Bonnie Pink.
After Hikaru Utada went on Hiatus, I moved onto Shiina Ringo, after Shiina Ringo, I'm thinking either Bonnie Pink or Angela Aki or Chara. Anyways, She has even more albums than Shiina! Where should I start? What's considered her "Kalk Zamen Kuri no Hana"? I can tell her early style is very different from her current style. What was the turning point? I've already listened to forget me not, and I love it. |

I'd say she become more of a pop artist with Golden Tears. He pop side shows up on earlier albums, but that's where it started becoming the majority.

Even So is very popular as a favorite, so I'd start there. Present is my favorite.

Even so had Last Kiss. Though I've grown tired of it now, song is timeless. I think if I ever saw it live I'd love it again.
Present had shitloads of re-playability. There was a time where I couldn't listen to the album straight without listening Tonight, the night 3 times. Need you and Rope dancer are 2 of my top faves from her. The live album "Pink in Red" had an astounding Need you rendition. I recall putting both the live and album version on my mp3 player after hearing the live; April Shower as well! The Pink in Red version and the album version stand very strongly apart from each other. Daisy, Present or Even so are all a real good start. I remember back when all I had was limewire and a dial-up connection, I had gotten hold of bits and piece of Reminisce, So Wonderful and Fallen Sun(the version featuring Suga Shikao)- I was a fan from there on out. I remember watching the Guyver anime simply to see what sequence they put to Cotton Candy as the ending. |

Funny how your options include what I consider to be the two most overestimated artists in Japanese music. Well I do have tremendously more respect for Bonnie Pink than for Angela Aki, but still not too much. Seeing how many cool people love Bonnie Pink, I suspect it's just my ears that make her voice sound boring. But Angela Aki... fake glasses for the smart independent woman look and some unexciting piano playing for "artistism" - is that really enough for people to fall for her?
Chara, on the other hand, is love love love. Sorry for the angry personal opinion post. |
