Amazing Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This album is hands down better than any American artist's. Asuka has a voice that makes her seem older than she really is and I have a lot of respect for her. She even wrote the song "Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai", which she sings very beautifully. The bonus track on here is also something you don't want to miss out on; the piano version of "Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai". I actually like it better than the original version of the song. The prices are the same for both editions of the album, and I would recommend this one so you don't miss out on the great bonus track.
This teen looks like she's on her way to be known worldwide, so support her by buying this absolutely AMAZING album. You won't regret it. *^-^*

Asuca's second album is even better than the first Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Her singles released before this new album were all great and her first album was awesome. So I had very high expectations and this album managed to meet them. In fact in my opinion, it's even better than her first album which was already really great.

I liked every single track of this new album. Asuca once again proves why she got the Gold Disc Award as the best newcomer of 2003. Her songs aren't mainstream pop. They are different and so is her voice. But that's what makes her such a great artist. It's just impressing how such a young girl (she's only 15 years old) can have such a strong voice.

This album includes her singles (without c/ws) "Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai", "Rin no Kuni" and "SANCTUARY - Yume no Shima e" , 8 new songs and piano acoustic version of her song "Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai" which is not included on the normal version of the album. Although it is just a bonus track the acoustic version of "Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai" is one of the best tracks and you should try to get the limited edition so you won't miss out on that great song.

The booklet features some nostalgic looking photos of Asuca and is read the traditional Japanese way (from right to left).

After all I'd highly recommend any JPop fan who likes Asuca Hayashi to buy this album. It is definitely one of the best albums that have been released so far this year.

Mediocre at best... Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
I am suprised this singer has won anything. This CD is simply OK. It's even too slow for ME and I enjoy mellow music. I might listen to it again, but I doubt it. I would not buy more music by this artist based on this CD. The music is lovely, but she is quiet and her voice is simply boring.
