I know it has been 2+ months for my absence. But I was here, you noticed the new template? For sure, simple cold hue rules! u_u
I was going to write something about "new music" I had been looping for a while, in October, but... lemme do it now.
Checklist (ordered by release dates my memory):
- eufonius - Aletheia
- eufonius - Phonon
- Noriko Mitose - Centifolia
- binaria - bottle
- Annabel - memory cycle of a Sentimentalist
- Angela Aki - White
- Suara - Karin
- Haruka Shimotsuki - Kasou Shoujo Lip-Aura Fantasy Collection
- KOKIA - Ribbon in our heart
eufonius - アレセイア (Aletheia) × フォノン (Phonon)
Here come eufo double hits!
Good titles -- Greek plus abstract (?) scientific words.
Both of them are sort of best collections. Anyhow, when I firstly saw the cover of "Phonon", what I reminded was...
Sound Horizon's "Elysion"!!! How could I relate this two completely different things together? OTL
Well, the first one has a super-cute cover, which fits the songs in it.

I don't know if I mentioned before, that eufonius' songs tended to be more average. But since their release of "Bungaku Shoujo", I found they were going back to their unique style. Great! I missed that! My special loves: "アレセイア (Aletheia)", "natalis" and "サイクレイション (circulation)".

みとせのりこ (Noriko Mitose) - Centifolia
Best collection again. But I'm okay with this. Most songs from it are different from the "original" versions, and some of them, I have never heard them, so they're new songs to me! Also, thank to this album, I can finally delete some albums where Noriko is in but I don't like the others (e.g. "message"). xD
No matter new versions, new songs, or fake new songs, Noriko's voice is just beautiful as usual. My own favorite is definitely "Crimson Sign" -- what a mystic and dark ambience! For other (fake) new songs, "kinema mosaic" is also wonderful. By Noriko's own description, that song was just
awfully hard to sing. lol Then, as a "theme song", in "Centifolia", Noriko got her crystal-like voice performed perfectly with the accompanying piano. Somehow, this song is like "sonido", quiet and peaceful.
Moreover, because of "Crimson Sign", I got addicted to the game "corpse party". Not playing it by myself, but I enjoyed a guy's live playing video a lot. (Just don't dare to see some CG's OTL)
At last, nice cover art! <333

binaria - bottle × Annabel - memory cycle of a Sentimentalist
Kinda weird cover art for Annabel... ^^;
Nothing changes at our dear ABC's (Annabel x binaria x Cor Leonis [yanaginagi]) side. Music notes are tuned up and down, their duet was dancing with the delightful yet kinda mysterious melody. There is no any difference comparing with previous works, but this is actually why I fell in love with them. They combined delusion and reality, their sound magic does worth to be spelled in a lazy weekend evening.

Angela Aki - White
I'm not a big fan of her, but I do love her songs. As a J-pop singer, Angela Aki is apparently different from the doujin artists I mentioned above. However, I don't care about genre, I only concern about the songs themselves. Angela's songs are always bright and full of happiness, and her voice type is superb too. Her songs are the kind that you can loop for several times without being realized. Out of songs from this album, my favorite should be "モラルの葬式 ［Revival］ (Moral's funeral)". I can't tell exactly why, maybe just being attracted by the first impression. I've already said, her songs are all pretty nice, so it's hard to decide a favorite. ("Honest" is so touching! >_<)

Suara - 花凛 (Karin)
To be honest, I can't tell any special thing toward this album, but why I list it here??? -- I DID loop it for several times! I know there is a couple of songs I liked very much, just due to my bad memory, I can't recall any of them. :P

霜月はるか - 花想少女~Lip-Aura~幻想歌曲集 (Haruka Shimotsuki - Kasou Shoujo Lip-Aura Fantasy Collection)
Lip-Aura series! I liked it since it's "origin" -- Lip-Aura. But here why I got a feeling being deceived?
.
.
.
Lots of songs are not new! (ﾟдﾟ)！
Okay, my bad, the album title has the word "collection". -__-
Yet I still feel hard to like this album.
Because...
Kaori, why are you here? -.-You just stay with your SH crusade; for Lip-Aura series, I vote for Haruka x Annabel, you know? (bricked) That should be Annabel x yanaginagi! (bricked again)

KOKIA - 世界を包む Ribbon in our heart
(I love the new profile picture on victor artist page so much!!!)
This single has been released in last month. Too bad I didn't got a good version until now. From this song, I found a similar feeling like that from "The VOICE". Still the typical KOKI-pop, and still adorable. I wish this song can be in a real CD!!!
*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡. .｡.:**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡. .｡.:*
I also got a album from GARNET CROW, but I hasn't got a chance to listen to it. - -#
Soon, new music will come. Akiko Shikata, KOKIA, Hanako Oku, etc...
Maybe I'll write about GC and the coming new ones later~
Hmmm....
HEY, I THINK MY POST TITLE CAN BE REVERSED ACCORDING TO THE CONTENT... XD
