Review by e-hime

I have listened the opening size song and I am surprised! It is really poppish; it features the anime BGM conventions but also the most typical J-POP essence. Although this is new for KOKIA (creating typical J-POP sounds), she has done it really well. I am looking forward to the full version of the song.

According to previous posts, I think it's a good idea to include COLORS, which was the song that represented a change: the differences between her old works and her future works. COLORS is a really nice song, and despite I have been disconnected from her other latest singles, such as Dareka no negai..., Be my last,... Passion and Keep tryin have caught up my attention again. I didn't know three years had passed already. I think she left her japanese releases at one side, and worked in overseas work, but this is good news. It's good there are some japanese titles in te album yet. The name of the album is not very original, but reminds me to the clean, well defined and light atmosphere of latest singles. colors, passion...

all KOKIA albums are great, and each one has it's special features this is a long album, with plenty of styles, that offers you more than the typical The power of Smile and Kawaranai koto (really nic songs though). Different way, ?, Sigh... songs that you will have listen over and over, because you don't get enough of them. Absolute recommendation!

What can I say of this album? I think it gets the KOKIA feeling really well, with her most famous works and some special songs which I did not expect, such as Utau Hito. The new version for The power of smile and Yume ga chikara are simply treasures. And still, this compilation makes you want for more. This is the perfect gift, to surprise, fascinate and nurse your spirits.
