Watercolor [CD+DVD]

Every album by Inoran is at least very good, all are totally outstanding. All albums, as this one, has many wonderful songs, not just two or four like in most time both in the West and East. Really, hes writing and playing perhaps some of greatest ballads, pop rock, trip-hop, ambient, songs from modern (popular) music scene in Japan or Asia. A true(!) musical act. Sadlly, he's heavly underrated. Perhaps the main or only reason is that he can't sing live like on album, actually he can't reach that quality. He is not born singer, but with age is getting better and better, neverthless he sound good live. At least, people admire the music, stage. Becuase the album was released with only CD+DVD version price is a bit higher than normal. The music video is very good, and "Daylight" is also a very good song. Has a very Japanese feeling opening. Another great pop ballad on market. Why 4 stars? Album is lovely, with nice feel and atmosphere, only "Shike" (english lyrics, accent is not the best, average, nothing strange for a Japanese singer) is a bit faster track. It is complete and all, yet seems a bit transparent, aswell tranquil and unique, like sea.
