First of all, I’m happy about this album, although it has the songs that were released before, but it has nice new songs. Track 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10 are the new songs, and Track 8 is Ribu’s (Hamada-san) talking track.  Track 4 is Sazaki and Karigane’s duet song~ I always like the Sazaki and Karigane team~ their personality seems so different but they understands each other so well.  I’m glad that Karigane and Ribu are having more parts in the whole Haruka 4 thing. I hope we get to see more of them if KOEI decides to release a fan disc.  I hope they make Karigane a character that you can ‘go after’.  Anyways, the Sazaki & Karigane song is bright and happy~ it fits Sazaki but feels like Karigane is forced to sing such joyful song with him XDD cuz he’s kinda the quiet guy~~

second, YES!! Miki-san is singing~~ woohooooo~ I didn’t really like to listen to the songs that were ‘read’, like what Ishida is always doing in the later Haruka stuff.  Although track 10, the song for Hiiragi (Miki’s character) , is not that exciting it’s still exciting to hear Miki-san singing XDD.  I found this song to be the same as Oshihito’s song (Nakahara-san); a bit on the boring side.   He kept saying ‘Akasha’ over and over and it started to bother me after I listen to it many times. The lyrics are depressing and talks about how everything is decided by akasha and stuff; just like how he is in the game~

to celebrate Hiiragi singing, I did a quick fan art sketch.
He is wearing modern casual clothes and saying “can’t help it if I’m so popular~”

Takahashi Naozumi’s, I mean, Tooya’s new song is great, I like it a lot. The previous Tooya song was slow and more gentle compare to the fast tempo song this time, but I like both styles. I think no need to mention about Takahashi-san’s singing, because he always sounds awesome and good at singing. I wanted to write out the lyrics for this song because it’s nice~ but am having troubls because Haruka songs sometimes has phrases/words that pronounces differently than usual. At first I was really confused about what is ‘Fuju ふじゅ’ cuz he kept saying that, then I realized ‘OHHHH that’s the title!!’…haha…stupid me. It’s 風樹, well, Fu is 風(wind) and Juu is 樹(tree), I didn’t noticed.

part of the Tooya song, I just love this song~~
I especially like the ‘yadayo’ part XDD (around 00:15)

and Ribu’s talking track surprised me, cuz he started off by saying that he confessed his feelings to Chihiro. XD  The mini drama track were basically about how he is loyal to Ashuvin and Chihiro, so he wants to continue serving Ashuvin but also wants to see Chihiro’s smile. (I’m guessing maybe means that he can’t just leave Ashuvin and go with Chihiro) He asks himself if he’s too greedy to be wanting the two things and then said after the war is settled, he will tell Chihiro that he loves her.  I didn’t really expect that from Ribu, but good job Ribu!! *thumbs*  I just hope that KOEI doesn’t use this as an excuse not to make fan disc that contains Ribu route….and say “oh, that track in the CD is like the mini ending for Ribu”, or something like that.

the other two songs (Sazaki’s and Kazahaya’s) are both really nice~ and makes me happy about the album that they didn’t throw in crappy songs just to make it a 10 tracks album~ good job KOEI, now please give me Karigane and Ribu endings, thanks.

overall, I love this album~~ even with Ribu’s talking track I’m still happy about it~ nice album~

* All pictures from official website or CD.

yay Hoshiiiii~~~saaaaannnn~~~~~
I’ve been waiting for Hoshi for a long time~~ and next month is Yusa~ hohoho~~

the character sounds like Eisen~ of course sometimes the things he said Eisen would never say. His character design and from the tracks, seems like he the type that tries his best at things. Kinda gentle and like a little puppy haha~ he has a older sister and a younger sister.  Kanakubo Homare is a gentle character but gets stomachache easily when stressed or worried too much; in his description it says ’stomach medicine is his friend’~ I can relate so much to this, because my stomach is weak too, so I always have to have a stomach medicine with me just in case I suddenly get stomach cramps XDD. He is the captain of the archery club~

There’s a part where they went to the beach and he tried to convince you to walk in the water, and later on carried you back cuz your feet got hurt. When you were hesitating about letting him carry you, he asked that does he look like he can’t care of you~ XD and then carried you back~ that was nice~~ another cute moment in track 7 when he calls you before sleep and says a bunch of sweet things, you got embarrased and told him to stop then he said seeing you became so embarrased makes him want to say more XDD, but then you suddenly said something and he was very surprised and sounds very happy to hear you say it~ XDD.

As much as I like Hoshi, somehow I still like Sugita’s CD best~ I guess it’s the type of character that effects my preference. Sugita’s character is more funny and naive at times.  Kanekubou is too gentle, and he is always very nice~ it makes the tracks a bit plain because there’s not much drama in my opinionXDDD I like track 10, which is the jealousy track~ XD different from his other tracks, which didn’t have a lot of changes in his tone, in track 10 it was nice to hear a little bit of different emotion, but for only a few seconds…haha

last but not least~ Hoshiiiiiii~~~~~~ his hair grew longer~~

He said in his comments (in the booklet) that he said a bunch of embarrassing lines in the CD~ hahaha~~~ but he’s happy if the audience like it~
Next month is Yusaaaaaa~~~~~~~yay~~

Harukanaru Toki no Nakade 4 CD - Asatsuyu no Sho~ “Book of the Morning Dew”~ base on KOEI’s past strategy~ Haruka fans should be able to easily guess that there must be a CD called something something Night to echo the Morning Dew…..and that’s right! 3/25/2009 the ~Yogiri no Sho~ “夜霧の書 Book of the Night Fog” will come out…

But the good thing is~ there are two FULL NEW songs in both CD~ yay~ no more “short version”………………..at least for now.
