Review by Jason Lim

The music/PV didn't feel very strong in this one to be honest, however it looks as if they are trying out some new direction/style and this may be it. As with the title, i will continue to believe in Kalafina. If anything, short haired Hikaru is a new experience :)

Awesome music from KOTOKO as always. Although i personally think it isn't as strong as her previous titles, and isn't something that's really spectacular be it the arrangements or the vocals. The DVD however pretty much made up for whatever shortcoming from the CD. Awesome PV documentary/making-of video, and the TV-spots/ending omake is not to be missed as you get to see some really funny moments from KOTOKO.

Very strong vocals by Suzuki Konomi and that's to be expected from her very rapid growth in the music industry. The music is a bit of a hit and miss for me, with seemingly forced concert ish style (those cheers), however her vocals more than made up for it and just that alone makes it a very worthy purchase. The making of the PV is also a good treat as she's really cute as always, and yet she displayed a very serious/professional look during the filming itself. Very impressive.

A must have for ANY M.O.V.E fan (or even an initial D fan), as this pretty much contains most of their songs, pretty much all the significant ones as far as i can recall. the DVD containing the PV for the initial D 5th stage opening/ending theme was awesome especially on the opening theme "raise up" with the drifting scenes of the AE86 and even a few short scenes of the newer FT86. Overall, for the price of under 5k yen, 3CDs and 1DVD is just too good of a bargain that one mustn't miss! i am going to miss move and really wish they wouldn't disband but i guess they want to move on their own path :(
