Review by Wendy McBride

I'd actually forgotten to leave a review! This was a great concert! I really liked it. Everyone was so into it, especially during the performances of Honjitsu wa Seiten nari and SUMMER DAYS. Looks like it would've been fun. I liked the arrangement/version of Fukai Mori the group performed, which for me is an odd thing since Fukai Mori is one song I've yet to hear a live version and actually like it. Ryo's playing was also "cleaner" than usual. IMO, the performances for this concert was one of the best I'd ever seen from Ryo. This is definitely a must have for any DAI fan.

Even though it was a long wait, this album, imo, was definitely worth it. It would've been better if this would've had a special release or some bonus item, but it sufficed okay. All the songs went well together making the album very balanced. For an album where the majority of the songs were "original", it was very nice, and it was nice to see a lot of T-Kimura influence. It's sad he's leaving. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who is curious of the group, as it's not a single-heavy album like GRID was.

This was a great "debut" album for the group!! I loved this album! One of the best purchases I made this year. I can't wait for whatever the group puts out next and I definitely can't wait to see what the group has in mind for its next album. I expect good things from them. ^_^

This single didn't disappoint, just like the previous one. The group just seems to keep getting better and better. I just wish more people would support them. This group truly deserves it.

Just like with all of my reviews, I'm late with this one too. This was a very nice album. Now, my favorite "non-single" song on this cd is definitely Remedy. It reminds me of her Grapefruit/Dive days. Seems the song would fit there, and I always enjoyed the songs from that particular era of hers. Another one that stood out, that I really enjoyed, was Shitsuren Cafe. Now that reminded me of something that would've been out maybe during her Platinum time. Peanuts was really nice too. Either way, my two favorite songs on this entire album, were definitely Remedy and Guitar Hiki ni Naritai na. After those, Get No Satisfaction!, Kazemidori, Shitsuren Cafe and Peanuts. Coming closely behind that, would probably be Sonic Boom! and the rest. Anyone who is a fan of Maaya works, would definitely benefit getting this cd. All the songs were nice and balanced and fit well together. Maaya's vocals were as nice as ever, and the compositions and arrangement were very pleasing. ^_^

This has to be one of the group's best albums. I felt that the album had a nice balance style wise. It was a nice mix of Electronica and Rock. The intro to the album is a unique take, in my opinion, as it's something that hasn't been done before by the group. This just shows how great a group they are in general, as they are always experimenting with different styles of music. They're never consistent, which allows them to surprise their fans with every album they come out with. The best original song on this album, imo, was Disinfencted Generation. I love when the group does rock-based songs, it seems. For one part, Motsu just seemed to stand out and that's what I really liked for it. The main downside for this album, was the fact that they managed to get all of the b-side tracks from the four singles leading up to it, 'cept for The Longest Movie (Freaky Planet). I felt that they should've either dropped This is My Heartache (Disco Time), put in The Longest Movie, or did an album edit of the song Sail Away (Angel Eyes), so that they could include it that way. That aside,since this album has a nice balance genre wise, I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in the group.

This is a great album! I'm truly becoming a Rie fu fan. I like this album just a much as her first one. I look forward to her next album release. I'm definitely going to support her as much as I possibly can! ^_^

This was a very nice album. I loved the overall relaxed feel that it has, which she tends to pull off quite well, in my opinion. I also like how she makes the transition from Japanese to English (and vice-vers) so nicely. It sounds very natural. The first songs I ever heard by her were Life is like a boat and decay, and hearing the other songs on this album along with those, was quite a nice, relaxing, laid-back treat. I can't wait until her next album release.

This was a great concert!! My only regret...not actually being there in person. T_T It had a really good feel about it, and it was even better because Dai-sama was there to perform some of the songs. For all of the Dai fans out there, this is a must have as it's been about five years or so since he's made public appearances with the group. I really will miss DAI, but let us up that the group's legacy lives on!

This album was very nice, and since I've always been fond of karaoke and instrumental tracks,it was most definitely a bonus. I loved the fact that this work had album-based songs' instrumentals, such as ROBOT, Enrai, and Kagaku no Yoru. The main downside, though, is the fact that it had so many songs that already had instrumental versions from singles, such as Yesterday & Today, Fukai Mori, Hiiragi, etc. I would've preferred more "album-only" songs.

This was a very nice soundtrack, and the best thing of all, in my opinion, is the fact that all of the music from the game managed to fit onto one cd, so it's a nice, low price. Of course, for some tracks, I wouldn't have minded if they had been longer, such as Track 71, the theme for Kotake & Koume, or track 35, the theme for the Lost Forest,or the Gerudo Valley theme. For those who haven't played the game in years, this OST should ressurect quite a few memories. ^_^
