Track 01. Passion DE Love (4:21)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
For the most part, this track sounds Latin, almost like a Ricky Martin song (but MUCH better!). It does use electic guitar and bass, and a drum set, but there are also Latin elements, like castinets and acoustic guitars. There is some keyboard in the background, and synthesized string and brass instruments. Very upbeat and fun!
Track 02. Koi, Shitemasu (3:22)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
Translation: I Know Love
A little slower than the first track, it also uses the basic drum set and bass, with more emphasis on keyboards and synthesizers. Electric guitar gets some nice solos but is not featured as in the previous song. A few extra percussion instruments spice up the chorus a little.
Track 03. Bravo! (4:20)
Vocals: Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
This is a nice slow piece in 6/8...it slightly resembles one of those 20s slow dance songs one would find at a 75th wedding anniversary. Only the beginning though. Overall it's a nice song with a little hint of blues in it. Typical drums and bass, keyboard in the background which during the chorus is drowned out by the background singers. Saxophone gets a nice solo as well as some extra little licks. This is my third favorite on the CD.
Track 04. Yume no Naka he - Yukino Version (2:39)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko
Translation: Into the Dream
Most, if not all, KareKano fans know this song. It's the ending theme to the show! Only this version has Yukino only, which most very serious fans know was used in the first few episodes. To see my review of this song, you can visit the Act 1.0 page.
Track 05. Style (4:38)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
This song starts out a little strange. An almost scary single note is held out on a deep instrument, followed by triangle. After that this song explodes into a disco-type song. Brass instruments, electric bass and guitar, keyboards, and synthesized drums. Very nice trumpet solo near the end.
Track 06. Ari no Mama Be My Love (3:26)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
Translation: As I Am, Be My Love
Very light and bouncy! All instruments are synthesized except the electic guitar, but they all sound real enough. The chorus is especially hyper, with great harmonies.
Track 07. S.O.S. - Acoustic Version (2:38)
Vocals: Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
This is quite a change from all the other songs. The only instrument is an acoustic guitar. The vocals mostly the same as in the TV edit on the Act 2.0 CD. Personally, I prefer the edited one because acoustic guitar is not my thing, but at least there is more to this song as far as vocals go. Still, I wish they would have put the original whole version on this CD instead.
Track 08. Love is a Many-Splendored Thing (4:53)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko
This song is just great! In my opinion, it's the second best song on the album. Nice and slow and romantic, it would be a good slow dancing song. Atsuko-san's voice shows it's true range in this song. Guitar, bass, keyboard, piano, and synthesized drums make this almost a ballad. Halfway through is piano, followed by electric guitar, solo with synthesized strings. At the end, another electric guitar solo.
Track 09. Anata ga Ite Yokatta (3:49)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko
Translation: I'm Glad You're Here
A little slower than its predecessor, it's quite different. Atsuko-san sings really softly in this. Very strange synthesizer sounds along with synthesized drum kit, electric guitar and keyboard. Harmonica solo midway through. (Yes, harmonica!) Overall, its strangeness gives this song its greatness.
Track 10. Seek! (4:44)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
This is probably the fastest song on the CD, and it resembles almost a dance song. Guitar, keyboard, and synthesizers...a LOT of synthesizers. There's also this weird male voice in the background who shouts things such as, "Say yeah!," "Come on!," and "Go!" at random times. But despite these oddities, the song definitely fits its title, sounding very persisting and determined. Electric guitar solo near the end.
Track 11. Kaze Hiita Yoru (4:35)
Vocals: Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
Translation: The Night I Caught a Cold
And, here it is, the best song on the album! (In my opinion.) Synthesizers, bass, guitar, and saxophone. Pretty serious fans will remember this was the ending song for Act 25, which was all about Kano, the youngest of the Miyazawa sisters. Very nice saxophone solo halfway through and at the end. Oh, I could listen to this over and over and over. . . .
Track 12. Setsu-Getsu-Ka (4:37)
Vocals: Enomoto Atsuko, Watanabe Yuki, Yamamoto Maria
Translation: Snow-Moon-Flower
This song is all synthesizers, except for the vocals of course. It's very gentle and finalizing, which is good in a last song.
