One of my most favourite artists ever. All Akino Arai fans gather in this thread! I haven't listened to her Furu Purachina CD yet though. ANyone listened to it? How was it?
Her new album is really fucking weird.
Which CD do you have? Furu Platinum... it has better songs then Sora no Niwa, but it's a worse album, if that makes any sense. Worth buying, just a bit more pedestrian.
The new one isn't bad in its own way either, it just takes a lot of getting used to. Maybe she forboded that type of direction with Kouseki Radio; I didn't listen to that one.
I only have Sora no Niwa and Eden. And some scattered songs she did for anime...
I agree, her new album is really fucking weird. Some of the songs are just weird anyway.
I like her songs mostly because even fi they're pedestrian, I like the feeling very much.
