I LOVE IT! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

This album is amazing! I have loved Matsu ever since I heard "Harvest Songs" and I am delighted I bought this disk. It's more up-beat than "Harvest Songs", but that turns out to be a good thing! I had thought Matsu a ballad singer only, but this CD shows I was wrong. She can do it all...and does it brilliantly. Even though this CD is not new (it's from over a year ago), it doesn't SOUND old, and I know I will listen to it a lot until she releases something brand-new. I eagerly await ANYTHING by her. In fact, I saw here at YesAsia, Matsu has a new single out...I can only hope a full album is to IMMEDIATELY follow. Because once you have heard Matsu sing, you want more and you want it NOW. She is so great. I love her crisp, soprano voice that is so well-trained she can sing anything at all and make it enchanting. She doesn't breathe her way through her music as too many newer J-Pop artists are doing...she really SINGS and puts her heart into her songs that are totally engaging and entertaing. Even though she is still not a rocker...this CD shows she can do more than simple ballads. Song number 4 is solid proof of that! It's a true departure for Matsu, but she shines right through it, regardless. I am only saddened that there are a few instrumental songs on this disk...I prefer songs where Matsu SINGS! I love hearing her voice and she really brightens up a room whenever this CD hits the player. It might be considered too eccletic by some casual listeners, but to the true Matsu fan, it merely showcases her HUGE ability to conquer ANY style of music with flare and finesse. She has won me over for as long as she chooses to sing. I just wish she put CDs out sooner. She seems to have long delays between albums. I wish she was an artist who put out an album a year at least...or sooner. After hearing this and "Harvest Songs", I find I cannot WAIT for her next album. The single she has out is a teaser...I want a WHOLE CD! Matsu is the best. Maybe too mellow for TRUE J-Pop listeners, but for those who like slower tunes with absolute talent this is the artist for you! Come on, now Matsu...more CDs, please...
