Hurray, yet another Bump of Chicken release. This time, it’s an album with all their past singles’ B-sides compiled. Running at 13 tracks, the last song, Present, is a totally brand new track.
Simple design does the trick

I never knew of Takahashi Hitomi until the day of I heard this song in Toshokan Sensou’s OP. I’m really hooked on her voice and this song to an extent that I’ve tried to the very best of my moonspeak linguistic abilities to translate this song. After all, it doesn’t seem like anyone’s going to do it, since she isn’t exactly popular.
Pardon my mistakes, as I have only picked up Japanese for less than a year, 9 months to be exact. Also, the only person who has checked through this translation is me, since I couldn’t get anyone else. There’s always a first time for everything, I guess.
Corrections and suggestions for improvement are greatly welcomed. よろしくね。

My hands were probably grabbing CDs off the shelves too quickly when I purchased this album. I swear it somehow got into the basket without me knowing.
Anyway, this album was released on 19th March 2008, which happens to coincide with Mikuni’s 28th birthday. Oh no, I actually forgot about her birthday! What the hell’s wrong with me >_<

I’ve been a really free man for the past week, leading a rather hikkikomori-like lifestyle for the past few days. The only time I went out was on Wednesday for a barbecue. The rest of the time was spent in front of my 2 screens.
To kill some boredom, I decided to explore some artistes which I had never tuned in to before. And so, I chanced upon Nakanomori Band’s newest album, Electric Girl.
The theme song for Major Season 4 is finally going to be released in a couple of days on 5th March 2008.
The PV of One Day after the break.
One thing that I really like about Major are the theme songs. Specifically, the opening theme songs. I realised that I always skipped the ending theme songs for a two reasons. They don’t sound good on the first hearing, and I’m too impatient to wait an extra minute or so before I go on to the next episode.
Actually, this post is going to be mostly on Road of Major, the band which performed the OPs for the first three seasons of Major. After all, I did say that I skipped most of the EDs, so I can’t really say much about them.
This song originated more than 10 years ago, together with the beginning of Evangelion, with the original singer being Takahashi Youko.
The following are the various versions of the song:
This is what I have been looping for the past few days ever since Bump of Chicken’s new album’s latest album was released a few days ago, on the 19th of December. Just in time for Christmas ^^
17 tracks and 1 hidden track. Let me do a brief run through all the 18 tracks. Of course, I have selected some music samples that would be provided. After all, what good is a music review without the readers being able to listen to the music firsthand?
If you have watched any of the Full Metal Panic,be it season 1,Fumoffu or The Second Raid,you would have known about this lass. She did all the OPs and EDs for the entire Full Metal Panic anime series. All the OPs and EDs that she sang were really good. Out of all of them,my favourites in no particular order are tomorrow(OP for Season 1),枯れない花(ED for Season 1) and もう一度君に会いたい(ED for TSR). Other good ones include それが愛でしょう and 南風.
I’ve always thought that her voice was superb,and listening to her latest album さよならも言えなかった夏 just confirmed my opinion of her voice. Her voice is really soothing,yet at the same time lively.Also,she’s quite pretty.
Anyway,here are some of my opinions on the tracks in her latest album:
