My Music Review!

This CD is loaded with famous seiyuus; for example: Yokoyama Chisa, the voice of Sakura from "Sakura Taisen" & Iwao Junko, Kotori from "X, the movie" & Tomoyo from "Card Captor Sakura. Like I said, this CD is a must buy!

The 98 summer version of "Natsu E No" is much better than the original. Kenshin and Kaoru's duet has always been my fav by far, but the best track is Sayo's "Kanashimi Ni Tamesarete". Kasahara Hiroko has such a lovely voice.

Sano's rocker song: "Ippatsu Yarou!" is a catchy tune. It really does sound like a song Sanosuke would sing. Ueda Yuji is the only person from the first vocal collection to come and sing another song. He's also famous for being the voice of Akira from "Nadeshiko". He's also very cool!

Misao's "Ice Blue Eyes" is a meaningful song, of course about "Mr. Ice blue Eyes" himself, Shinomori Aoshi. For some reason, it sounds like tae bo music. Other than that, it's pretty good.

The Soujiro songs are strange, but I like them; especially the "Innocence" drum and bass remix. Hidaka Noriko is a cool seiyuu. Her voice is really great. I'm looking forward to hearing her as the voice of "Erica" in the upcoming "Sakura Taisen 3" game.

"The End of the Day" is a very quick pace song, appropiate for the character of Miyo Misanagi. I really like Yokoyama's voice, especially how she gave this song attitude, very different from her work with "Sakura Taisen".

Itsuko-san's "Sono Mama" is also a good song. It has an elegant sound to it (Junko-sama has such a lovely voice~!). Another personal favorite.

As for the Gentatsu song, I didn't really like it. This was the only track I didn't like, so overall, I really really enjoyed this CD.
