My Kureha arrived this afternoon while I was in class.

She’s just too adorable and beautiful.

Some guy got hold of Minorin’s Contact, yet the official album release should be within 5-6 hours or so. Lucky dude.

Minorin poster ftw!

I got to have a full early preview (And I guess many of you already had; courtesy of Minorin, Lantis and the guy above), and first thing: Minorin’s Contact has lived up to my expectations. I can describe Contact in three words: Dynamic and energized. Lovely vocal work from Minorin, especially the exploration of her range together with various music styles (I detected about two-three genres). The instrumentals very well compliment her voice, especially the violin instrumentals (as usual ^^). My favourite upbeat tracks would be the somewhat full version of Shijin no Tabi - 詩人ã�®æ—… (02) and Futari no Reflection - ã�µã�Ÿã‚Šã�®ãƒªãƒ•ãƒ¬ã‚¯ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒ³ (03). The only slower ones would be Dears ～ゆるやã�‹ã�ªå¥‡è·¡ï½ž (5) and truth gift (12).

While everyone’s excited about the outcome of Dream Party, First Class included (coverage at Moeyo! Akibajin Blog & Heisei Democracy). And to top it off, some extras from Good Smile and Maxfactory - Feena looks lovely, though I am bit apprehensive with Kotona’s face (Would rather get Sakaki or Fauna). Kotobukiya has something up too, and so does FREEing, but that’s not the gist of this post.

Being a pronounced Tsuruya fan (likes that include Impz), the announcement of Tsuruya figures by Alter and Maxfactory a few months ago got me jumping for the wallet straight away.

But, surprise, surprise…

It’s been rewarding to see Minorin improve tremendously throughout the previous year, and I’m loving her voice even more. So far, my expectations for her new album have been exceeded, but it’s still too early to comment much more. Enjoy her PV though!

Amazon.co.jp and cdJapan has 「Contact� up for preorders for ￥ 3,000, which goes on sale on the 24th of this month. Another alternative would be Play-Asia which does free shipping to Malaysia.
