Ahhh, my new AAA (Triple A) CD HEARTFUL came in yesterday, and as fate would have it, I was making a LOOOOONNNGGG trek down to the other side of the island, and took that opportunity get to know this fantastic new release in depth!!!
As always, the AAA albums are filled with those loud 'n' crashing dance tracks (as expected of an AVEX label group), but it was the lighter, perhaps more celebratory sounding songs I gravitated towards, tracks like Field and probably my very favorite track off the album (man, I musta listened to this one track at least four times last night!), the happy RISING SUN, a dancey track that invokes less "Music!!", than Aladdin's "Hiwa Mata Noboru" , at least in Nippon Pride!!!
Several extras came along with this CD (and you shoulda seen me unwrapping the parcel in my car, unpacking the goodies and squinting my eyes trying to read the CD booklet in the dark!) including, just like last time, a very nice promotional poster as well as a trading card which CD Japan told me would feature a random member. I don't know if they made a card for every single member or just the main singers, but though I was happy to get Misako Uno as my card, I secretly was hoping for Chiaki Ito! AHAHAHAHAHA!
