(4)Our Price: US$37.75Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:August 31, 2008 An Excellent Sophomore AlbumThough Kusano Hironori and Uchi Hiroki are absent, NewS proves they're still going strong. From the rhythmic 'Ai no Matador' to the a capella song 'Sono Egao Ni Misete', NEWS never cease to make you dance, hum, and smile while listening to their music. The varying melodies on the track: the creative 'Kimi Omou Yoru,' the R&B 'Alibi', the Island 'Sayaendou', and the bouncy 'Teppen' were excellent, and each member of NEWS gets to shine not only as a unit as demonstrated as 'Hoshi Wo Mezashite' and Hadashi no Cinderella Boy and Mafuyu no Nagareboshi, but as individuals as well.
Two of the tracks were written by the members. Yamashita Tomohisa's 'Gomen ne Juliet' combines a danceable rhythm with lyrics about a love that couldn't last, while Nishikido Ryo's 'Code' takes more of a rock approach with lyrics about the possibility of love. Both tracks are fantastic, and make you look forward to more from the two in the future. Koyama Keiichiro and Kato Shigeaki take the stage with two duets. 'Alibi' has a nice R&B feel to it while 'Chirarizumu' takes more a fun comical route. Both are great in terms of KoyaShige's vocals. But Masuda Takahisa and Tegoshi Yuya aren't left out. Massu leads 'Nanto Kanarusa', a bouncy island sounding song with Yamapi and Koyama. While Tegoshi shines on the heartwarming 'Ai Nante' with Ryo and Shige.
I recommend this fantastic album to anyone who loves J-Pop. It's worth every penny!
