Review by Donna Phan

I was used to Kujirai's deeper voice, so hearing his normal singing voice was a nice change for me. Both songs are wonderful, although I prefer the second more upbeat song ("Vivid") over the first ("Ready?"). It's rather catchy, in my opinion. It also was cute hearing him sing in English for a few seconds in "Ready?" It's very worth it!

I think this CD would please a wide-range of people, especially those who like either Inui or Tsuda Kenjirou. There quite a bit of random things thrown in: those who like Inui as the 'nerd' should hear his Pi track, those who like Inui or Tsuda-san singing have 3 tracks to choose from, those who like Inui as the juice-making sadist has the JUICE track, and so forth. If you're able to get the bonus CD, there's a fun game you can play too! Lots of guest characters come in both in the original CD and the bonus one. Very well worth the price.

The limited edition of this single is absolutely wonderful, especially with the live footage. It is not easy to watch artists perform their songs, and I think it's moving to be able to see Miyamoto play the piano while singing "Soba ni Irarerunara." His facial expression changes as he performs, which makes you realize that it's just as moving for him too. The CD is very worth it for that alone. Plus the two contrasting songs (slow "Saigo no Kiss" and rather upbeat "Usotsuki") are very enjoyable, even the different versions of them both that evoke the same feelings.
