This album is fantastic!!! My favorite songs are step, imagine, put a spell on u, who's theme. This album even has a bonus song from her show called True True step the song is great. I couldnt believe how fast the delivery was. I was so excited when it came in the mail. Very good buy. Planning on buying her Miracle cd. I listened to the song T.T.T (i like it alot!!!!!) the songs just make you wanna get up and dance.
I first heard her voice from "Shika no Uta" the ending to Samauri Champloo and fell in love with it. After a couple of months i rememebred teh song and looked up the artist. I fell in love with "Step" which really hit close to home with the dance hall beats. I love the compination of dance hall and raggae. I downloaded teh whole cd to my mp3 player. "Put a spell on U (MMB)" Has an awesome beat that is addictive. "Imagine" threw me off because the opening was a little weird but after listening to it i constantly play it. "Another world" is great again with the hip hop raggae beats. "Ai no Me" was lovely and light "Happy song" really hit the raggae catatogry for me, and it did sound happy and relaxing "Who's theme" is hypnotic and inviting "Everyday" was really weird since it kind of sounded like a tribal thing I love the intro and interuledes before the songs. This CD is awesome and i recommeneed this to anyone who likes jpop/jock and wants something a little different. I recommened listening to "The Perfect Vision" from her MIRACLE CD and "Lotta Love" m-flo loves Minmi... the music video is really cute for this, just copy and paste teh title and youtube and you'll see what i mean
... And you have effectively described Minmi and her second full-length album (the first being Miracle in 2003). Every song on this album is worth listening to. Minmi's sultry voice and her R&B/Reggae style are enough to drive this album; catchy hooks and two tracks featured on the popular anime series Samurai Champloo don't hurt either.
If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing any Jpop before this album, I warn you now that this is not "Pop" as we know it in the state, but more like R&B and Hip-Hop. In fact, the beats on this album sound very much like what you would hear on the radio here in the states, making the listening experience for a first timer very comforting, or rather familiar. Past the instrumentals, Minmi's vocals are downright mesmerizing. She can sing outright, and she can croon in intimately. Whether or not you know what she is singing (aside from some exclamations and a hook or two in English, the lyrics are Japanese), you will find yourself singing along. Even the featured rappers are good.
There is also a nice mix among the songs. There is the pure reggae, happy song in "Happy Song 2004," a reggae club jam in "Rock City," as well as pure R&B and hip-hop in "Step" and "Put a Spell on U" respectively. The only nagging issue I have with this album are the interludes (there are five of them counting the intro/outro). These really serve no purpose other than being extended intros to the song they precede. Not that I mind radio promos and skits, but it would have been nice to have more of Minmi without the... well... beatboxing?
Regardless, this CD is hot! It's by far an awesome follow up to Miracle, which is also a great album by the way. Of special note are my favorites on the album. Each showcases Minmi's vocal strengths, an impressive beat, and two incorporate complimenting featured artists:
"Put a Spell On U (aka MMB)"
"Who's Theme" and "Shiki no Uta" from Samurai Chaploo and,
