4 out of 5 stars Interesting tunes, but I don't speak Japanese :(.......2005-01-27

Interesting story - about 10 months after buying a used car, I was feeling around under the seat for some change I dropped, and found this hidden gem of an album. The album is generally uptempo pop tunes, sung by a vocal quartet plus a typical rock/pop backing band. All lyrics are Japanese.

The first couple of tunes really made me think of anime theme music - they had the same feel of minor/major chord changes, same driving rhythm, same vague electronica feel, and of course same questions of what exactly they are singing about. There are a couple tunes of more moderate tempo on the album as well. After the first couple of tunes, probably "secret base" was my favorite song on the album. I didn't like the 8th track, a piano-only reprise of "secret base", quite as much.

The Amazon track listing is accurate to a fault - other than a couple tunes, the best I can do for the titles is "Japanese title". Too bad Sony couldn't provide more info.

According to the liner notes, the band's web pages are:
