by a stroke of luck, i managed to get Aikawa Nanase's latest Mini Cd "RUOK?!" in HMV... haha i was on the verge of getting my fren Mutsumi to buy it from japan if i cant get it in singapore... that was wat happened to the previous cd, "the first quarter"... cant find it in singapore at all... :( luckily all my frens happened to go japan that time... so i sabo one fren to get it back for me... heehee happy though my pocket is burnt yet again... :s
the first time i listened to RUOK, my first impression is "wah, nanase sounds different again!"... a different kind of feel from her previous albums... especially if you compared to "7"... but its not surprising at all... she has been trying to give her fans a new nanase each time she releases an album... in this album, the lyrics are written by her... =) i like the way she writes! always very inspiring and encouraging...
my favourite song is red wheel... its very very nice! especially the chorus, its very catchy... unfortunately, the chorus was printed in KATAKANA... oh terrible, terrible... my katakana sucks... initially i could not understand the lyrics at all and had to read real slow to catch the sentences... :s i think i better rewrite a hiragana version which is more friendly... favourite phrase in the song: if fate is decided by someone, who is the one who decides it?
other than red wheel, RUOK is also very cute! its the anime kind of tune... very catchy and nice to sing along... haha... its like even when i walk home, i can recall the tune and nanase's voice in my head... =p
snowfall is more of the ballad song in this album... the lyrics are ok-ok... but i like it too cuz the chorus is very special... =)
everyone goes is very inspiring and reminds me of "sekai wa kono te no naka ni" (world's in my hand)... "everyone has the strength to stand up no matter how insecure we feel" "it is not possible to be living under other people's influences" "nothing will start if you are passive"... (pardon my poor translation) in other words, it is very NICE!
Fly to rainbow ray is another inspiring song... a bird who lives in cage can only dream of flying to the sky with rainbow... actually its not just the birds rite? we too, have to learn how to spread our wings and fly high!
after x times of listening to the cd, i started to like Rock star's steady... :) it has a story which talks about the girl despising the guy who is a rock star... who writes the girl in his songs but dates many other girls... she said in the song that their relationship is just a fling and ask him to continue to flirt with his fans... somewhat special cuz nanase nvr write such theme before...
foolish555 is the least liked by me... ahaha dunno why lar... maybe i need to listen to it more...
in conclusion, this album is still very nice!!!!!!!
