December 21, 2005 Véry nice indeedI discovered Eri Nobuchika after playing the PSP game "Lumines". After 90 levels you get to the "Lights" skin, which features Eri's single with the same name. When I played that level, I got tears in my eyes. It's a combination of the wonderful music, voice, and sheer gaming fatigue. I rarely cry, but that was one of those moments.
Some time later I found out that "I hear the music in my soul" was also sung by Eri Nobuchika. When I heard it, I swore it was some Diana Ross person, and I was pleasantly surprised it was this 20 year old Japanese girl.
"Voice" is another great song. I'd call it a dance-track, but a damn classy one. I run it constantly in the car, and catch myself speeding everytime the chorus kicks in.
The last song I heard was "Kodou". This song has a surprising jazzy feel to it, and displays the amazing maturity of Eri's performance. She sounds like a woman in her early thirties, still vibrant yet scarred and carrying truckloads of memories and experiences.
The fact that she wrote all of her songs herself is the icing on the cake. It makes all her songs more personal. Her sense of "musicality", wonderful voice and level of maturiry make this album a remarkable debut, indeed.
To conclude, if you're looking for a very talented Japanese pop artist and singer-songwriter with a wonderful voice and great songs, you might wanna check this album out.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
