Review
If I'm correct (I'm pretty sure though), this was the best selling album in Japan in 1993.
The reason for it isn't too difficult to come up with. The album contains a good mix of songs
and all of them are of very high quality, there is no particularly bad song (are there any bad Zard songs
in the first place?). And of course, with Makenaide included in the album it must sell well, no doubt
about it. But the album has also other great songs, Yureru Omoi for example. It is perhaps the
second most famous song of Zard. Or take Kimi ga Inai. It is not exactly the same one as
the single version. This time the song has been performed with a much lower tone and
it sounds even better to me now.
With just four single songs the album has also a fair amount of new songs. Anata wo Suki Dakedo
and Listen to Me are two very cheerful songs whereas song 8, 9 and 10 are more serious.
I personally like Futari no Natsu very much. It is such a dramatic song and Izumi Sakai performs
it outstandingly.
Having said this all, I think this album rates as one of the best Zard albums ever.
