Tracklist :
1. To Mother – a piano ballad from yui. She released this song like a single before this album to enter the world. This song will be the pioneer of evidence that yui is actually a versatile musician. She’s tinkering with instruments in this particular album too. This song would have been a perfect song for mother’s day but yui released it right after the day. She commented for this song that the been quite some time she wrote for herself and she or he wrote to contributing to her mother hence the title. She maybe feeling homesick or nostalgic with this one when she wrote it. The song incorporates a good melody that come with it giving the song a good soft piano ballad feeling…
2. Bgain – The first song she released after having her hiatus and would be the OP song in the late epic great anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which now follows the manga story and it also was really a lot better than the old one(may have a review upon it soon if i have time). This song contains proof than yui will make, write, compose just about any music and fasten her trademark impression of her. The first time i heard this, i had been like,” wow, this sort of kick ass song to be with her comeback!” Apparently too, with this song, she will sing stressful too like rapping but incorporates a wonderful melody…
3. Parade – Now this some tips i call relaxing summer beach music. Accompanied by percussions and accordion effects on keyboards, the song sense that a holiday in Paris or outing in a very summer sunny beach. Holidays within the Sun indeed. One in the best relaxing songs inside the album.
4. Es.car – a rock-ish song using a touch of strings and keyboard piano. This song reminds of her debut album “From Me to You”. The way she sings plus the feel with the song, brings me back when initially when i first time i heard yui’s album. The piano solo also from the bridge is wonderful to see. She is really experimenting on putting more instruments on her behalf songs.
5. Shake My Heart – Another song having a summer beach or European vacation feel. Of course, the song is actually relaxing too. The chorus is that has a choir. She also added her newly addicted instrument which may be the Shaker, a smaller object produces a “maracas” sound when you finally shake it… This song can also be varies from her style. When i pay attention to this song, i'm at peace and wish to take a vacation at the tranquil beach.
6. Gloria – The song she released at winter season which really seems like a winter song. She just added the song inside the album because its among her singles. Another good song from her, this her 2nd song since she gathered a great female band as her back-up band and has a definite keyboardist. So almost all of her songs next has keyboards inside. Loved the way in which she adds the keyboards, made her songs more textured.
7. I Actually Do It – This the song she wrote for your girl band trio “Stereopony” when she is at hiatus. Lucky for your singer in the band Aimi, the big fan of her. She just reached visit the sony studio the location where the girl band was recording. They were introduced and within the end, they jammed making it a new song. Stereopony released the song afterwards but yui as song writer credit. So basically, vid self cover of her song she wrote for an individual or band. She derived several beats and rhythm riffs to be with her version, but overall, both versions rock.
8. Please Stay With Me – Another song that reminds her old-style. This song really reminds of her song “Tokyo”. This song can be used being a theme of your Japanese Rom-Com Drama Series called “Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku” meaning Summer Romance Shines a Rainbow Color featuring Matsu Jun, a lover girl material actor when he is super duper handsome, however for me, i liked the drama on account of yui’s dear friend Yuko Takeuchi(Closed Note, Sidecar ni inu, ima, Ai ni Yukimasu).
9. Summer Song – A very old song of hers. This was this is not on the 2nd album given it was released after. Then yui announced her hiatus after releasing My Short Stories, “a best of” album containing the many b-sides(other songs that has been put to be with her singles) she released. She is one the youngest and earliest release a a “best of” album inside the Japanese Music industry. The song has indeed an understanding of summer. This is perfectly added using a summer themed album. This song apparently is like a sequel of her song Laugh Away.
10. Cinnamon – This song singing style can also be the same back inside the “From Me to You” days. The song includes a unique melody too. A cheerful song too. Apparently the song also includes a summer feel although its a little bit stressful. More textures too within the song because with the keyboard.
11. Driving Happy Life – Her “happiest” song in the album which can be her trademark in most album. A lively feel song thats best for running. Also this can also be a good driving song. Can imagine driving over the sea in the side with the windows open feeling the sea breeze. while enjoying this song. Cheerful summer themed song.
12. It's Way Too Much – This song was implemented as the theme song from the movie “Kaiji: Worlds Greatest Gambler”, which really was awesome. Actors in the live action movie of Death Note once more together within this remarkable movie, in addition to “Never say die” song. This song’s PV showed once yui to put it briefly hair(she was cute with this one) along with the first song with an exciting female band. This song is pure awesome. Killer guitar riffs and wonderful keyboard accompaniment.
13. Kiss Me – Another song from her thats stuck just using her first album. A yui love song the good news is very textured by various instruments.
