Review
This is their second best album following after the huge success
of Zard Best the Single Collection. Zard fans selected these 14
tracks by submitting request forms, hence the name Request Memorial.
And I must say this is a very good way to make a best album, for I agree
with the selection of most of the songs.
In comparison with their first best album, this album has a broader
diversity of songs. Their first album contained mostly songs from their
earlier period (93/94). This album, on the contrary, has songs taken from
almost every period, ranging from Tooi Hino Nostalgia (1992) to
MIND GAMES (1999).
As for the songs I can make it very short, they are one by one
masterpieces; this album is a must have for everyone.
However, there is one thing that bothers me. It applies to this album as
well ass their previous best album. I am talking about the pressing
unit system. This album, for example, has three different pressing
units. The first version comes with a Calendar as a bonus, the
second one has a Memorial video and the third one has a mini-cd. But I,
being a Zard fan, want to collect all these items of course and I don't
think it is an option to buy all the three different pressing units. At
least, I don't think that's the intention of Zard. I just don't get that
whole pressing system. Why not make just one pressing unit? Or even beter,
put all the pressing units together ^_^
