Review by Mauro Rossetti

In 2011, Music Ray'n held its second Super Seiyuu Audition, aiming to debut the next generation of seiyuu idols who would become successors to Sphere, whose members were victors of the first audition. In this second audition, Amamiya Sora, Asakura Shiina, and Natsukawa emerged as the winners. The following year in 2012, the three made their debut in the social mobile game THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE! and now present their debut single as TrySail. Pointing in a safe direction (without special sound innovations), those three seiyuu come on stage on tiptoe, with a light and carefree single. The three voices blend perfectly with each other, while maintaining their individuality. If really TrySail will be a worthy successor of Sphere, only time will tell us.

After the success of their debut single, TrySail return with ''Cobalt''. This single is more incisive of ''Youthful Dreamer'' and the three seiyuu approaches being worthy successors of Sphere. Also, the voice of Asakura Momo has become more definite, and in some passages stands out more than the others. THE iDOLM@STER's experience made it very close-knit these three girls, and I hope they continue on this path.

Mai Fuchigami's debut concept album is a beautifully crafted collection of sounds and styles pleasantly backed by Mai's delicate voice (already known to the public for her participation in Trident -Arpeggio of Blue Steel- and THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls). The main body of the album consists of 7 tracks, complemented by a prologue and an epilogue. In addition, the supporting voice of Hisako Kanemoto -guest and narrator of this concept album- is like a glue that unites the various parts of the story. In essence, it is a cheerful album -with a growing mood of melancholy- which maintains its own identity within the context of J-Pop music. Personally, I hope that this album will be valorized over time and that does not go unnoticed. 2015/12/20 Mauro Rossetti
