 This is another cool Japanese girl band that I saw on Bento Beat Box just before I went to Japan, so I decided I would get their latest CD to check them out. I was hoping that the video I saw (which had a cool spy music feel to it) would be on this CD, but it wasn't, but that's not a big deal. Actually, I was kind of surprised that their music was more mature than I expected for a couple of teenage girls, but that may be because they have done several anime themes that have serious overtones, I suppose. Unfortunately, the first track on the CD is the worst, which was disappointing when I first popped it in my car CD player! It gets much better after that, however, and Chewing Girl is a cute song with a nice feel. Even though the CD only has eight songs, it still takes a while to really let the good stuff out, which happens with the sixth song (I can read the katakana, but I can't make sense of it!), because it brings out some acoustic guitar with an uplifting ballad sound. Then Neverland (I can read that katakana!) is super fast and fun, with a really amazing guitar solo (it may be a keyboard, but it's a neato sound whatever it is!). I think sometime I should check out the girls' earlier album (which was called Sixteen, of course), but I'm glad I bought this one anyway!
