Review by Mark

I was trying to get Kotoko's other single, Chercher, before I knew the title of the song. Got this by accident instead, but I think Kirei na Senritsu is actually the better song. The companion song "rush" isn't bad either.

Got this album for the fifth Bleach outro theme "Life". It's full of good songs. My favorite is "Tokyo" though I've gotten quite fond of "Merry-Go-Round" and "Feel My Soul".

Contains full versions of the Record of Lodoss War OAV opening (Adesso e Fortuna) and ending (Kaze no Fantasia). These are difficult to find since the series is quite old. "Adesso e Fortuna" is one of my favorites.

If you can get past Ken's "Lightning Girl" and to some extent, Sora's "Tsubasa wa Yume, Soshite Sora e", the songs are actually pleasant to listen to. My personal favorites are May's "Blooming" and Leon's "Angel Dust".

"find out" is one of the bests songs ever and worth tracking this single down. "Stand by me" and "Sun goes down" are also quite good by themselves. Great buy.

"Star" by itself is worth this CD. But the other tracks are very nice as well. I think the full track list goes something like this: 1. Star 2. meccha hajikete gattsu tobashite 3. Destiny 4. te no hira no naka no kagayaki 5. kuroi tsuki 6. arigatou ga fukaku naru 7. Everlasting Story 8. eyes 9. aoi jiyuu. shiroi nozomi 10. setsunakutemo... zutto 11. MIZU-KAGAMI 12. yume ka mo shirenai 13. tsuki no nai yoru 14. shiawase ni narou ne

I personally got this for the Kiddy Grade ending song "Future" by Little Viking. But was pleasantly suprised to find most of the intro/outro themes for Kaleido Star ("Tattoo Kiss" was missing). The songs sound a little more raw in the full versions, but they're still enjoyable.
