Won’t be missing her this time around. Get 茅原実里 Message 01 at these places: Amazon.co.jp, CDJapan, Play-Asia

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).

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.
