Review
This is a truly amazing album. It has three of my all time favorite songs: My Friend, DANDAN
Kokoro Hikareteku and Kokoro wo Hiraite. I don't think these songs need more introduction.
You should know them when you have watched anime series like Dragon Ball (DANDAN) or
Slam Dunk (My Friend). Kokoro wo Hiraite wasn't an anime theme song though,
but a very popular commercial song for Pocari Sweat.
Of course, the album doesn't consist of these three songs only. Sayonara wa... and
Aiga Mienai, both single songs, are no doubt great songs. Today Is Another Day
is another popular anime theme song (there are many of them in this album), but I don't remember
which one. Put this together with Zard versions of two popular Field of View songs, Kimi ga Ita kara
and Totsuzen, Barbier's Love and we have a whole bunch of amazing songs. The lyrics
for Field of View's songs and also Barbier's Love are written by our Izumi Sakai so it is not very
surprising to see them added to this album. I actually like them better than the original ones, but that's
why I'm a Zard fan.
Nemuri, also released as a c/w song, is composed by Izumi Sakai herself. It is a very relaxing
song, I like it very much. There seems to be a complete history behind the song Mitsumete Itaine.
Check that story at this site: click here. It's kind of a sad story, but it is a nice
gesture of Izumi Sakai towards her fans. Thanks for Helena Yan for
providing this information. I have also put up the whole song for you to listen to, don't think it would
be respectful to cut into this one.
Well, with so many great songs to enjoy in one album, this is certainly one of my favorites.
