Pretty Good!

An album with some degree of variety in the tracks. It's good -- but not great. Nothing in the album really made a HUUUGE lasting impression on me -- sure, there were things like MARIA & JOKER, Etsuraku Camellia, and Chinmoku no Kajitsu , which should've hit bullseye on most fans' tastes, but there was also Yume no Tsuzuki, which basically put me to sleep. (No offense, I know she wrote this in memory of her deceased father but I am only basing this on the musical sound and not the lyrics).

Another problem that arose was the removal of COSMIC LOVE (because of a scandal) in favour of a random character song from an anime that Nana had worked on. The song wasn't HORRIBLE, but I do miss COSMIC LOVE.

Despite all this, Nana's singing is still top-notch and pleasant to listen to. The weekly Oricon #1 position wasn't just luck.

Oh, and the mini-photobook thing shot in London had plenty of cute shots too :D.
