10 stars is not enough... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Oh my gosh. I thought that "Secret Code" by Aya was totally perfect (and it is...), but "Constellation" is even better. So, what do I call that? Divine? Inspired? Ideal? I don't know, but this is a gem of a mini-album. I cannot believe I missed ordering this back in 2005 when it was released. But, after hearing "Secret Code", I went back and bought both of Aya's 2005 mini-albums (although I won't review "Rock On", because frankly...it's far from being anything as fantastic as "Secret Code" and "Constellation"...it's actually NOT even remotely a favorite of mine with the dark lyrics and disjointed song choices...). I am so pleased to have done so.

"Constellation" is definitely different from "Secret Code" in both style (although still rock, it's not as gritty and grinding, and contains more of a pop-rock tone throughout...even to the inclusion of a ballad) and especially her voice. Her vocals are higher and purer without her trademark growl. It's a sure thing she knows how to sing to reflect her music. On the gritty rock songs on "Secret Code" she really defines the song by using her powerful almost gutteral vocal sound...but on the more pop-rock songs on "Constellation" she defines the song by using a more pristine and youthful sound. This shows her flawless interpretation and an understanding of how to truly convey music.

I honestly cannot say enough about this CD. It's already replaced "Secret Code" as my favorite Aya CD (although both should be bought by the true fan, because both represent Aya at her best in slightly different forms and both deserve to be appreciated as the masterpieces they each are in their own way...).

Track 1 is simply phenomenal (reminds me most of Ai Takaoka...) and is my favorite track of the release; Track 2 is just great (reminds me most of Nakamori BAND...); Track 3 is a rare Aya power-rock ballad that shows YES...she can sing slow-tempo songs perfectly also; Track 4 is a mid-tempo excellent track with some of the best vocal moments by Aya of all...it's a pure sound with her shining singing and lots of guitar as the main instrument. This is my second favorite of the CD; Track 5 is also mid-tempo and is quite good and showcases more delightful vocals and a sweet sound to Aya; Track 6 is a catchy more up-tempo song (reminds me most of Younha...) with a powerhouse beat and marvelous refrain; Track 7 is the most like songs on "Secret Code" because it's definitely beginning to show the grinding rock and grittier vocals of Aya.

Sadly, there are only the 7 tracks...but that's enough. This jewel is sheer genius as it is and I recommend it to everyone. Even pop-lovers I think would like this, because the rock isn't over-done or too intense. It's just a simple and crystalized piece of heaven. The price is even right...so don't wait...if you are thinking of investing in Aya's music, I think you really should buy this along with "Secret Code". It makes the Aya experience truly well-rounded and complete. She's just SUCH a wonderful talent with amazing ability.
