Riding high on the wave of the current "Hotaru No Hikari" sequel, it was a PERFECT TIME for Ayase Haruka to get back to her part-time hobby of dabbling in the j-pop field, and so it was with great anxiousness I waited for her latest release MARGUERITE, and what a surprise it was!!!
One thing you can always say about Haruka-chan's singing career is that she's always had a really sweet and gentle voice whicg lends itself to pleasant low-key tunes, and this latest offering is no execption! With the pretty "Marguerite" title track, the CD single also boasts covers of two favorite classic j-pop songs with Haruka giving us her take on both Matsutoya Yumi's "Hello My Friend", AND Ota Hiromi's "Momen No Hankerchief" (the latter a BIG, BIG FAVE of mine from the 70's!) Sooooo COOL!!!!!
Besides these wonderful songs, the CD set comes with a bonus DVD featuring Ayase Haruka's PV for "Marguerite" as well as four cute "making of" clips. My package also came with this beautiful mylar folder sleeve, siutable for storing your various Haruka-chan magazine clippings (AHAHAHAHAHA!) but maybe that's just what I would do!
