Empty Flowers

Hello! I've just received my album this morning (and I almost missed it, thanks to the postman lol), and I'm actually listening to it (again, and again... and again) First of all, I would like to THANKS CDJapan to give me the chance (or should I say the honor) to get this wonderful album... this album wich I wanted to buy since I knew Mannequin and listened to it the first time... more than 3 years already! Finally bought it, and what a PLEASURE! - sure make my day This album is really one of my favorite of all time! Many many memories with it... I couldn't say how many times I've been listening to it... Kazuma's voice is really wonderful, amazing... I really enjoy to listen to him, I really love his voice. It's so special, reconforting, relaxing... The guitars are really special too, amazing riffs and wonderful solos (my favorite is from the "Kizuna" song) I like bass lines, especially in Secret! The drums part are quite simples, but effective. This album contains 12 tracks, and are pretty different from each others. There is one ballad I find just so beautyful and quite a little sad; "Love is Love" - just an amazingly wonderful track... Kazuma's voice is really for something... Mannequin was really a different Visual Kei band from the others, something really special comes from them, their songs, guitars, voice... just a band like no others, NO OTHERS I didn't find that this album was so expensive, I found it pretty cheap considering how hard and rare it is to find (like the previous com' says) but really true, such an unique album must be listened to it at least one time Thank you CDjapan again, I'm really more than happy to have this album finally! I did it in part (in memory) for the Mannequin members, who I really want to thanks for all what they did, and making such an amazing album. Thank you. I will support you and love you forever.

The CD is a follow up on their mini album, Seeds of Empty Flowers and it includes all the songs that were on that. If you do not have Seeds of Empty Flowers, or if you are a rock or metal fan this is a must buy. The tracks Rose in the Dark and Kizuna are worth buying the whole album, they are unbelievable and were not on the mini album. I think they sound like a better Uverworld. It is a shame they are not very popular, but that makes this CD even more precious.
