Review

This another Kirarin Revolution related album. I’ve never listened to the other ones since I really had no great incentive to do so. What made this different? Well curiosity kind of got the better of me and… Well, it was quite a chore getting all the way through it.

I like the actual musical compositions. There’s an interesting mish-mash of styles ranging from pure pop to a bit of ska. What I didn’t like is when Kusumi started singing. Her voice on these songs ranges from barely tolerable to just plain awful. Some would say that’s par for the course, but I beg to differ. I’m fairly sure that these songs would be better if she was allowed to sing somewhat normally (Koi Sain) instead of like a tone deaf crack head. (Papancake)

The only other parts on this album I liked were the Milky Way tracks. The group has voices that actually blend together quite well & their songs are catchy and fun. (Instead of annoying & pandering) Honestly I would have preferred an entire album of their stuff instead. That has the potential to be some great work.

My suggestion for Kirari to Fuyu is to pass on it.
