[03/14] 「 25 ~Vingt-Cinq~ 」 Natsumi Abe's 1st mini album

[Diva711]

I really like this mini album.. especially track 3 Otona he no Elevator which i keep repeating again and again...

^ Nyago :  Thank you so much!  

This sucks though.. I DLed it.. but I don't want to listen to it yet *preordered*... ugh ;;;;

[wakaba_doll]

I'm waiting til my copy comes in! The temptation to dl is pretty strong though...

*resists*

Very nice mini album! Much better than her 2nd and on par with her 1st album~~ The ballads particularly really suit her voice and style. All songs have that old skool feel, very nostalgic~

[freya86]

I absolutely agree with kingthaking81. How can it be that the mini-album is actually better than either of Nacchi's albums? But it is, imho.

Anyway, I'm definitely gonna order this with my next batch from YesAsia, hopefully the 1st limited edition, if that's still availabl by then.

I still like Hitoribocchi the best...but it is definitely better than her 2nd album

I dont like Hitoribocchi and think the 2nd album was the best Hitoribocchi is for me like an mini-album because of this covers titled as abe version ^^ I hate it when they "rehash" old songs to get an full album

But on Hitoribocchi there is my favorite "Anata Iro"

[kimikodesu]

I love them both, because they each bring something special of Nacchi! lol and I can't wait to get this new mini album. Her voice just soothes me so!

I personally like the covers though. I wish she would have done Get Up! Rapper. Her voice was so cool there!

I received my copy on Friday - it's a 101% improvement from her last album (which minus a couple tracks I really did not enjoy...)  The photos in the booklet are absolutely beautiful ... her natural style works best.  Plus her vocals are so lovely, I can tell she's improved a lot.

Btw, I'm not sure if I'm just out of it or what, but this isn't a Tsunku produced album, is it?

And also, I only got one photo card (not two) ;;;;;

[RionZ]

^ yea wasn't produced by Tsunku (can be considered a good or bad thing though)

Good point, but I loved Nacchi's covers of MM songs  Although a rehash, i felt it made the album much stronger in song repertoire Especially if you love them old songs

[Mr.T]

I got my copy today (that was fast, cdjapan shipped on friday, and it's monday today hehe) and it's ALWAYS fun with new Nacchi stuff ^_^ After looking through the booklet, the "strawberry pics" (you know what I mean if you have seen them) are the cutest in my opinion together with the wonderful cover pic!

And also, I only got one photo card (not two) ;;;;;

Hm... same here...

[RionZ]

There's one card for each version i heard...

Ahh.. ok, thanks for the info. They really try to make you buy as much as possible hehe

Mine didn't contain a photocard
I have expected more new songs

[StreakInTheSky]

I finally listened to this album and I have to say I really liked it. It had no flash or catchy pop anthems, but it had solid songs. Just about every song made a good impression on me. None of the songs really stood out though. It was really safe and gave off a sorta "Disney" feel too it lol It was something I didn't really expect. I really loved how most of the album actually had real instrumentals.

The only song I could've done without was Amasugita Kajitsu. It didn't really fit the rest of the album and it sorta made me remember I was listening to an H!P release another generic pop song.

Overall it was a nice listen and probably my favorite of the recent H!P albums that have been released. But there wasn't really anything to make it stand out.

Mine didn't contain a photocard

Only the first press of the regular edition had a photocard. The limited edition doesn't have a photocard, but has a bonus DVD included.

I have expected more new songs

:edit: misread, never mind (comment deleted)

[Kurisu]

Why does the Regular have one and the Limited Edition doesn't?
I bought the limited...
need to buy the regular too...
