I debated between 3 and 4 stars audio quality rating for a long time, and eventually decided to give it 3 stars. Second song could've gotten a 4, but I tend to shoot low to encourage faster improvement. First song has some severe problems in that it's irritating to listen to at anything but low volume.
Also, I've been transcribing and analyzing the lyrics of all of her songs. Except for "tomoshibi," I didn't find the lyrics for her first album, "Amaneuta," all that impressive. Her second album, "Yumeji," is very impressive in all ways. For this single, I'm not fond of the first track, "Blue," because it's just strangely artsy and unnecessarily complicated. I like the second song, "tsubomi," a lot, though.
I was surprised by the fact that this CD is released by King Records. I'm not really fond of King Records, but I don't think it's a big deal at least for now, because Suara's homepage continues to reside on FIX Records site.
